TURKEY
ISTANBUL (2010 FIBA World Championship) – Turkey continues to make history in front of their fans as they dominated Slovenia 95-68 they won to make it into the semifinals of the 2010 FIBA World Championship at a Istanbul. This is the third time that Turkey has played in this tournament, and the first time that they will have a chance to play for a medal as Turkey has a winning streak of seven games. The Turkish Team started the match with a very aggressive defense. They made an early streak but Slovenia answered and finished half time in front of Turkey.  But Turkey fought till the end of the match and won Slovenia with a 95-68 score to play final in their own country the first time in their history.

Reflection:
                       I wrote about sport news about basketball. That Turkey beat Slovenia. It was at the FIBA World Cup (Federal International Basketball Association). I enjoyed it a lot, because I looked at news at the internet and then write my own news about the article I chose when I was reading. I tried to use right words, grammar, spelling and punctuation and I think I did a really good job at that. That helped me a lot with my newspaper writing.

Reflection for Glogster Book Report

This book called the Cracker The Best Dog In Vietnam was an interesting story because I saw a friendship growing because they needed to be friends to survive and they did. I think Glogster is a very good program for book reports. The reason is that everything is on one page and colorful with big texts. If I was going to rate this book, I would probably five a nine out of ten or maybe a ten.

Introduction for Glogster Book Report

I did my book report on a program called glogster. The book I read was called Cracker The Best Dog In Vietnam and it was written by Cynthia Kadohata. It was an enjoyable and exiting story. My book report included a lot of exciting material on one page that was like a poster. I included the setting, theme, plot, internal/external conflict, climax, genre, protagonist, my favorite excerpt, book awards and information about the author. The book I read was 320 pages long. I wanted to read more and more as I went on and it didn't seem that long than.
