Nightmare to Flordia retirees
On an February 2, morning a disaster happened to a retirement committee. Tornadoes ripped through the community. At least 19 residents were killed in the storm. Some residents had only tiles of their roof off others had their homes destroyed. There was a church building that could with stand up to 150 mile an hour winds but it got destroyed. Officials say that this storm was worst that the 2004 hurricane.
1. What do you think might have caused the tornadoes?

Podcast Book Review
I don't want to be the only celebrity in class, so you will create your own podcasts based on book reviews. You can choose any book you'd like (providing it's SCHOOL APPROPRIATE!) and it's something that would be enjoyable for other middle school students to read.
Type up a short book review (no longer than one page double spaced), but be sure to include the following introduction:
"Hi, this is _________ with another howling book review. Today I'd like to tell you about (book name) by (book author). (At this point, you can mention any awards the book has won, etc.) "
After this brief introduction, tell what you liked (and maybe didn't like) about the book. Be sure not to give away the ending!

"If they weren't college-ready by eighth grade, they didn't make it..."
The above title is a quote (and link) from a lengthy article in one of my education magazines. I know it may not seem incredibly interesting, but this article directly relates to you PLUS it mentions what we talked about today: if it ain't on the FCAT, the chances of it being thoroughly covered in school are slim.
So what do you think about eighth-grade? Too much pressure? Enough knowledge? Are you really college ready?
No grade for this--just wanted to share and hear your thoughts!
PS: Great job following directions for current events!

The moon's fate
The moon is the object that causes Earth's high and low tides. However many years probably more tan one billion years it is predicted that the moon may cause problems to Earth and possibly destroy it. The moon, as time is progressing is moving further away and also closer to Earth. While in New moon the moon comes slightly closer to Earth and in a full moon it moves slightly farther from Earth. If the Moon is predicted to continue this to a point when it is a new moon it will be 11,470 miles above the Earth.
1. What will happen if the Moon is 11,470 miles above Earth?
