Block 1/2 Only:
This week we will embark upon news article-writing. You will get the opportunity to publish a news article about a famous event during the AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
For this blog post, answer the following:
1. Do you watch the news? Listen to it? Read it? How do you find out what is going on in the world?
2. Our Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, gives the press Freedom to write what they please- why is this an important right?
Please write enough to adaquetly cover the questions, and feel free to return to comment on other students. As always, BLOG BY FRIDAY MORNING!
1. I watch the news every once in a while, just to get get caught up in what's going on in the world.
ReplyDeleteWithout the news, it would be really hard for everyone to know what was going on.
2. This is an important right because it gives people the right to express how they are feeling about the world. If we didn't have this right- there would be certin things the press couldn't and could say and we wouldn't get the whole information.
1. I watch the new sometimes with my parents at night just to see what new is going on. But I don't read the newspaper or anything like that. Sometimes I read the Eugene Register Guard to see whats going on in Oregon though.
ReplyDelete2. It is important to have the press right in freedom because that is how people found out about the news back then. They didn't have a tv to watch the news channel. So they would here it from the press.

ReplyDelete1. In the morning when im getting ready for school we watch the news. I dont read the news paper. Lastly i will find out by talking wih friends.
ReplyDelete2. It is important because when this was pased they could say what they want and about what they want and cover just about everything.
1. I watch the news with my friends and family beacuase I want to know whats going on with the world. 2.It is importiant to have our freedom beacuse. We can say what we have to say and back in the past did not have tv to watch news so people had press right in freedom. vladimr bodnar
ReplyDelete1.I watch the news only when I want to know if it is going to snow or to see if school is canceled.I don't read the paper but my dad does when he get's home from work because he leave early in the morning. I listen to the news on kiss 106.1 or kube but other then that it's just what I hear from my friends.
ReplyDelete2. I feel like having the freedom to say you want in the press is very important because it shows what diffrent people think.

I sometimes watch the news but, only at around 10 minutes at a time. I listen to the radio a lot so i get some news from there. In the morning the newspaper is on the table where i eat, so i look at the headlines to find out what is going on. I found out what is going on in my friends lives by facebook and text messaging them.
ReplyDeleteIt is important that the press can write what they want in newspapers and magazines so they can publish the truth and inform people what is going on in the world.

I watch the news every morning while i am eating breakfast. I do this so i know what is going on in the world and so i can know what people are talking about at school. I think the freedom of speech i one of our most important rights because without it we could not say what we wanted to.
ReplyDeletefor some reason google has put my account as im awesome dont know why but im awesome=ian page
ReplyDeleteThe way we get our news is by the T.V., mostly king 5. But the only time I ever watch the news is when I have nothing to do. But it is always interesting to find out what new event that’s coming up. The only thing I dislike about the news is the talk about politics and taxes.
ReplyDeleteI never watch the news. i don't watch it, because my parents sort out all of the boring stuff, and tell me the important stuff. This is good for me, so i can use my time to so the things I like, instead of wating through the news, to get hardly any goos information.
ReplyDeleteThis write in the decloration of independence that states that we shal have the right to speak what we whant to be spoken, is important. it is important, so we can tell everyone how we feel about something, rather than what some one else is tell ing us to say.that is why this is a very important right.
I am the one in the famly that likes to watch the news, not tv just the news. actualy the news is one of my favorite channles.
ReplyDeleteI think the decloration of independance was a great pice of writing. I just like knowing that people out there were looking out for the next genaration and how we are now independant and have our own desisions to make!
1. I watch and look at the news on the internet. I usually watch it for the weather but then I actually watch it.
ReplyDelete2. I think being able to write what ever you want is important because then we could hear both sides of a really important story or what happened in the world-like the Revolution.
I watch the news on TV every once in a while because there is nothing else on. I skim the sports section of the newspaper every morning though. I also listen to it on the radio sometimes. My parents tell me all the important stuff thats going on though if i havent done any of the other the things.
ReplyDeleteThe press getting freedom to write what they please is important because people want to be noticed and they want to be able to speak to people. If people werent able to write what the want, then people would get angry and a war or a bunch of riots could happen.

I almost never watch the news or read a newspaper and I don't find out things going on in the world until someone tells me and that also rarely happens thats why I don't know anything.
ReplyDeleteIt is important that the Bill of Rights give the press freedom to write what they please because it is important that the public is able to know everything that is going on in their lives or others.
1.I watch the news in the morning before school and sometimes at night.
ReplyDelete2.This right was important because it would let other people get a word in on the subject
1. i watch the news in the morning when i eat breakfast. i dont read the newspaper or listen to the radio. i mainly dp this so i can learn what kind of wheather is going on during the week.
ReplyDelete2. this is important because it defines the importance of a "free country".

1. Usually, the only time I watch the news is to check if there's a snow day (: But otherwise no, unless something important is going on in the world or my parents are watching it. I sort of like watching the news to see what's going on.
ReplyDelete2. It is important to let the Press have the freedom to write what they think because if they didn't we would only get one side of the story, or one opinion. It's always best to have multiple perspectives on things. The Bill of Rights allows us (and the Press) to speak our mind instead of following the minds of others.
1. I rarely watch the news only for weather. No listening, sometimes reading it. I find out by looking it up on the internet of yahoo or something like that.
ReplyDelete2. This Right is imporatant because it gives us freedom to what we do. The freedom to affect the future. The freedom to say what we want to support what is right, to support out ideas.
I watch the news in the morning with my grandparents before school. The whole freedom of speech concept, wouldn't allow us to speak our feelings and speak our minds. If I was writing something opinionative I wouldn't be writing what I had written about my opinion. It makes a huge impact on history and the world, I'm very appreciative of it. And glad, it turned out successful.

I don't really like to watch the news but I do listen to it on the radio and read the newspaper. The freeedom of the press is essential or we would not be free and not make informed dissions about who we put in office.

I watch/listen to the news almost everyt night because my mom has it on while she is cooking dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis is an important right because if we didnt have that right, people wouldnt know what would be going on in the world around us.

ReplyDelete1. I honestly almost never watch the news. I only watch the news when my parents watch it. Which is silly, because when they watch, and I start to watch it I get hooked it. But honestly, how could they make such exciting news sound so boring? I don't know that is just my opnion. I think to go on youtube and check out videos of some nes reports. The ones that get me interested, I get really excited about that! And I don't know if this counts, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading the news about celebrities! To me that sounds shady, but I love it. I watch E News! Basically the news version but of Hollywood. And its called socializing, thats how EVERYTHING gets around these days.
2. TV, PHONE, COMPUTER, MAGAZINES, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, it's everywhere. If you want to say anything its fine. And its really important that in the press we can almost say anything we want, and speak out mind. Now we can be free , say whatever.
XOXO, Kelly Le.
