2/7 Dalton schroepfer blog

Today, it is a national holiday : Mr. Rivers’ birthday! We started off the class by being shown to our new blog schedule, and we were told to schedule our own blog dates. Then, we were shown to our new personal research note card slides. Mr. Rivers then told us to get cracking with our work and that is what we did. Then we all began to work on our note cards. I found out some pretty good information about my topic in particular. My documentary was “Blackfish”, and my topic is animals in captivity. To find out my information, I used the ebsco host databases and found several articles about the mistreatment of animals in captivity. One quote that I found about whales in captivity was, “Confined to unnatural social groups for the convenience of their owners, bored and restless, forced to perform tricks for food that trainers withheld as punishment, they occasionally slipped, he writes, "into the dark side."” This quote that I found helps me support my argument that animals do not belong in captivity by showing how mistreated they are. I believe I got a fairly good amount of research done today in class, especially with the databases provided to me. I was able to find some very good articles with the ebsco host database. Towards the end of the period, Mr. Rivers reminded the class that tomorrow the guidance department will be in our class to talk to us about scheduling (Hopefully not Mrs. Valleau)
