Weekly blog 5/15/15

Madeline Rose Chan in the article, Little crabs big trouble for whales explains that whales can get caught in the nets that are for capturing crabs. In the beginning a Newsela staff talks about how a woman named Cathrine Kilduff wants to still protect the whales and Catherine Kilduff says that whales could also get hurt by trash, pollution, ships, and some of these are fishing lines. The Newsela staff quotes to explain that whales are in danger because of people fishing when whales are migrating. As I understand it whales could run out of air and get too tired to eat anything. Finally the author concludes that people should stop fishing for crabs when whales are migrating. The author's purpose is to persuade people not to endanger animals or not to do dangerous things.



"Little Crabs Cause Big Trouble for Whales." Newsela. Newsela Staff, 11 May 2015. Web. 14 May 2015. <https://newsela.com/articles/whales-entangled/id/9215/>.



A connection I can make between an article I read and something I did recently is that they are both articles and I read them on the same website. I also can also make a connection by comparing how different they are like saying that one is about animals and the other is about how to keep your body healthy. One other thing is that one is about companies and one is about whales.



My choice of article reveals myself as a learner by saying that I like interesting articles about what happened to certain animals or people. It would also reveal that I like to know what an article is about first before I read it. One more thing it would reveal is that I pay more attention to the title than what I am reading.



The information in this article can effect the future by having people not fishing for crabs anymore. Another reason is that it could effect whales in a good way by having them peacefully migrate. They can also help the whales by having more whales and the whales won't become extinct.



A question I would have after I read the article is that I would want to know where the whales are migrating to. How I would go answering this question is saying where the whales are migrating from then tell myself where they are migrating to.



 This week I was surprised when Mrs. Garcia said everyone had to do an article blog. This was surprising to me because I didn't expect Mrs. Garcia to tell everyone to do an article blog this week. When I was surprised I was listening to what Mrs. Garcia was saying. What I can learn from this surprise is that Mrs. Garcia will do this often or she will might do it when the class least expects it.
