Anna Nicole Smith dies at 39.

Anna Nicole Smith died Thursday after her private nurse found her unresponsive in her Hollywood, Florida, hotel room. "The cause of her death was undetermined, however the investigation is still open," said Dr. Joshua Perper, chief medical examiner of Broward County Florida." At this time we don't have the results of the tests that would permit us to make this determination," he said." Our findings are limited to what we can see with our eyes." There are a number of ways Smith could have died, including natural causes, or a drug reaction.

1. How do you think Anna Nicole Smith died, do you think it was from drugs or natural causes?

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.

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!
