Great Migrations

Some of you know I don't watch t.v. much, but I love this show called Great Migrations. Great Migrations is on National Geographic and it's about an animals' migration system and how, why, and when the animal migrates. The reason I love this show is because it is so educational and spellbinding for the whole family! Everyone will love the animals' migration system. It is SO fascinating and the video work is breath taking!!!  The Great Migrations is SO well made it feels like you are actually in that scene where the buffalo are crossing a river with crocodiles. Plus after you watch Great Migrations you are the expert and you are 15% smarter about animal migrations of course! Plus if you are a kid you can tell all your friends at school about what you learned!!! After you tell your friends about what you learned you can play a trivia game to see how well they listned or you could take a poll. For ex. Did you like where the buffalo were crossing the river better or where the Christmas Island crabs are making their way to the sea? You could say that or come up with your own questions!!!

The Hunger Games

Just the other day I finished this amazing book called The Hunger Games.  The Hunger Games is about a girl named Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a place called district 12 which is the mining district. Every year the districts 1-12 have a reaping. A reaping is where the district picks a boy and a girl to fight in the hunger games. Katniss' little sister gets pulled to go to the Hunger Games but Katniss doesn't want her little sister to die in the games, so Katniss fills in for her sister. Then they pick the boy. Then after they pick the boy and the girl they are summoned to the Capitol. At first in the Capitol, Katniss feels like she is in heaven because in district 12 there is hardly any food and on the way to the Capitol there is lots of good food. Then she enters the games. She is extremely good with a bow and arrow so those are her weapons in the arena. The games start and she thinks of a plan to get the bow and arrow first. That works so then she runs to the woods because in her district she always hunts so she feels safer and more comfortable in the trees. Will Katniss survive the harsh atmosphere of the games? Read and you will find out!


( p.s. there are two other books in the series. The second book in the series is called Catching Fire. The third book in the series is called MockingJay)
