PLN #9

My choice for today was an article from the Associated Press called Boulder Man Kills Mountain Lion Attacking Puppy. It talks about a man protecting his dog from being eaten by a mountain lion. Wildlife officials arent sure what to do about the case because he has a right to protect himself and his livestock but since it was a dog they arent sure what to do.

What matters: Fear is a huge factor in this case. The article talks about how there had been two other reports about mountain lions also. So obviously there was an obvious problem that the family who shot the mountian lion should have piad attention to. There needs to be something done in order to prevent these kind of things. Like they shouldnt leave thier dogs out constantly, they should put up fences around their property. But also there are some people who dont think that they should have to put up a fence and live in an area where its impossible for them to do so.

How it matters to me: I know how the man feels when he shot the mountian lion for almost eating his dog because my cousin who lives up in Bailey, Colorado dog was eaten by a mountian lion. He was outside going to the bathroom and they didnt even know that the mountina lion had eaten him until they found him dead on thier driveway. If they had known that he was being eaten they probably would have gone out thier and shot the mountian lion too. Im not sure who to side with. Its not right that they shot wildlife and they had been warned by attackes earlier that month, but on the other side i know that sometimes oyu do things without thinking and you just feel like shooting the animal is the last resort.

Angelica, you did well on summarizing your entries, and being calm. I think next time, you could speak a little slower, but great job!!!

samh said...

Angelica, you did a good job. Next time I think it would help if you spoke slower. It was a little bit hard to understand you. Also more eye contact would be good.

Angelica! I think you did a great job. Things that you might want to work on is making more eye contact and speak a little slower. Other than that though you spoke very clear and I liked how you put a lot of examples and details into your writting. Good job!

Angelica You did a good job relating your personal experiences with your PLN's. You also had good eye contact and a strong clear voice.

Good job angelica, you did a great job of speeking clearly. Next time though, you should try to not rely on your paper so much.

Angelica, you did a very good job. you had a very strong clear voice. You need to look up more but besides that you had a strong thought out presentation. GOOD JOB!

Angelica! Great job talking about your articles. I agree with you. Teachers should be technology litterate. You're right about how the world revolves around technology. I didn't know that there was a lot of poverty in China. I agree with you about feeling lucky to live in America. I also agree with you that students should get paid as a reward, not a bribe. Thats sad about your cousin's dog getting eaten by a mountain lion. But I agree with Xavia, the punishment shouldn't be too severe. Good job!

Angelica, you need to keep more eye contact with the class. Besides that I thought you picked good topics to present and I hope that you keep it up.

laurenp said...
