What do you learn in Globaloria? We learn how to blog, make flash

games and Wiki.

Remember all of the skills you have learned over the past two and a half years? The skills that I learned over the past 2.5 years ago is How to type better, how to use words right in a sentence the right way, we learned how to use flash and make things in flash, and we learned how to operate wiki.

Name at least five of these skills? I learned how to type, put sentence in correct punctuation.

How can these skills prepare you for a successful academic future and how could you use these skills to find a great job? It will help me by making sentences that make since and I don't think it will help me in my job because I will like to be in the N.F.L. or the N.B.A.

About My Topic

My topic is about the Rastafarian movement

This issue interests me because Robert Nesta Marley is a Rastafarian and I listen to his music

I want people to learn how the Rastafarian movement began because it can tell some people about there background

This issue needs to be addressed because it was a big movement in the 60

's to the 70's

March of the penguins

What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?
The penguins have to overcome the brutal weather and hunger.

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
Their habitat threatens their life because when it's cold they can freeze to death but after the winter is over it's summer and they can swim the seals are looking for food.

What types of adaptations do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters as well as predators?
The baby penguins have to gain muscle to swim back and the parents have to overcome eating and predators do too.

What was the best part of this topic? I would say the best part of making the game was finishing and uploading it.

The worst part? The worst part was to me was nothing at all because I learned some old stuff I forgot and I learned some stuff I didn't know.
