I chose this picture because it makes me think of mermaids. Whenever I think of the ocean, I think of this mythic creature, and the idea that mermaids could be either A) completely lovely or B) totally evil.

It also makes me think of John Donne's quote, "teach me to hear the mermaid's singing" . . . and also of the idea of Odysseus, who must be tied down to avoid jumping overboard when he hears the "siren's song."

I love the idea of the unknown, and this creature of the sea fits that description perfectly!

Stella Pingitore / 4th

I honestly love this picture because it shows the bioluminescent beauty of the deep sea. When talking about the ocean, my mind always goes to moon jellyfish. Their simplistic beauty to me is beyond words, and the gentle way they drift through the current is almost freeing, in a way.

When I think of the sea I think of finding nemo, and one of the creatures I found to be interesting is the star fish. Nobody ever notice the star fishes. They are very unique. Did you know They have bony, calcified skin, which protects them from most predators, and many wear striking colors that camouflage them or scare off potential attackers. They are beautiful animals that come in all shapes sizes and colors.

Ally Bryan/7th

allybryan — 2015-09-01 20:48:02 UTC

I really like this picture because it portrays two very different but common things happening. You can see the calm and still ocean just before the storm is going to hit, and you can also see the powerful storm approaching. I think that this image really shows the beauty of the ocean and how it can switch very rapidly into something that we do not expect to come. Furthermore, meaning that without any question the ocean can become something that we do not view it to be typically. Normally we see the sea as a calm place for relaxation, but there are many more dangerous things that are going on, like in this case the storm passing along.

Sammi Lawrence/ 7

sammilawrence — 2015-09-02 00:43:53 UTC

I chose this picture to represent the tranquility of the ocean. Whenever I think about the ocean, i automatically think of how beautiful and relaxing it can be. I love how I can stand on the shoreline and look at the, what seems like, endless ocean. My favorite thing to do while at the beach is watch the sunrise over the water. It makes me realize how something so simple can be so beautiful. For that short moment it feels like there is no negativity in the world and nothing could ever go wrong.

Kimberly Ortega / 8th period

kimberlyortega — 2015-09-02 01:15:08 UTC

I don't know exactly what I feel about this picture. I love it because of the mysteriousness of what can be in the deep deep depths of the ocean, but scared to see the unknown. This fish out of the many that live deep below are able to glow witch i think is also pretty cool. We don't know much about this fish other then that it lives thousands of feet below the water and that it glows. It bothers me in a way, because I want to know what other beautiful creatures their are.

Brianna Shipwash 4th

briannashipwash — 2015-09-02 01:27:09 UTC

When I think about the sea I think about being out in the middle of the ocean. It is much more quiet and peaceful. If you go far enough out like on a cruise no waves crash and the water just turns into a beautiful royal blue. But what makes me so interested is what kind of marine life is down there? Also, how deep it is. Its amazing how incredibly huge the ocean is .

Ryan Pask / 2nd period

RyanPask — 2015-09-02 02:29:25 UTC

This picture accurately reflects how I view the ocean/sea. It is a vast, wide, and endless place that is still so great and outstanding in its most destructive form. You can not see the end of the ocean and the unknown is something I think of when I think of the ocean.

Juan Antonio /3

toorsbros — 2015-09-02 04:33:00 UTC

When I think about the sea..I think about how scary and beautiful it is. Not as in fear but respect. The sea is a truly uncontrolled force of nature that can be calm in one moment or awful in the next

toorsbros — 2015-09-02 04:36:33 UTC

Camille Simmons /2nd

camillesimmons — 2015-09-02 11:58:33 UTC

But a wide sea voyage severs us at once. It makes us conscious of being cast loose from the secure anchorage of settled life, and sent adrift upon a doubtful world. It interposes a gulf, not merely imaginary, but real, between us and our homes--a gulf, subject to tempest, and fear, and uncertainty, rendering distance palpable, and return precarious.
Washington Irving

I chose this quote because the ocean makes me think of traveling. Traveling to me means distance. It's going away from your comfort zone even just a little bit, and experiencing new things. Travel

ing in this case is being cut off from the surrounding world to discover the new. It's an even scarier experience.

pizairia warren/8th

wpizairia98 — 2015-09-02 13:51:02 UTC

Over the summer I learned how to paddle board. It was my first time and I became a pro. I love to surf and I love to swim. Paddle boarding is very tiring for the abs. The sun was shinning and the current was calm. After about an hour I laid down and took a nap in the middle of the water. Paddle boarding is something I would recommend for everyone!

Tristan Smith/ 8th

thegamerskater — 2015-09-03 00:19:29 UTC

When I think of the ocean, IMMEDIATELY my mind goes to this song by Led Zeppelin. The entire theme of this album is practically based off of water and the ocean, so it was a no brainer to pick this song to post. If you haven't heard this song yet, take a listen now!

Dillion/7th

DillionFaircloth — 2015-09-03 17:49:45 UTC

When I think of the ocean the qoute " there are plenty of fish in the sea" comes to mind. It's kind of funny because that saying is very true. But there is also a sad side to it, there are not as many fish in the sea as there used to be. Because of over fishing and pollution, fish numbers have drastically dropped.

Summer Vaden/6th

SummerVaden — 2015-09-03 21:46:28 UTC

When I think of the ocean, I immediately thing of sea turtles. Sea turtles are my favorite animals, and more specifically, Hawksbill sea turtles are my favorite. It's no surprise that sea turtles are one of the many endangered species around the world. These beautiful creatures are hunted for their eggs, shells, skin, and meat. Turtles are so intriguing because no two are alike. There are so many different turtle species, colors, shells, it's quite amazing.

Bryan Uriarte/8th

bryanuriarte — 2015-09-04 00:57:23 UTC

When i think of the ocean i wonder what could be out in that ocean that looks so deep... I like this picture because makes you look and just think while watching the sun rise. Being in the ocean just looks very relaxing to me i could just get lost and not know if I'm coming back. Also makes you think how deep it is and makes you want to just jump in.

Allison Webb/2nd

AllisonWebb — 2015-09-04 02:36:49 UTC

When I think of the ocean, I think of the song "Aquaman" by Walk The Moon. It is one of their more slow and relaxing songs, just as the ocean can be calming to listen to. One of my favorite memories is of a Walk The Moon concert, when they played "Aquaman" and everyone in the audience relaxed and listened closely. Being in the room then was almost like staring at the ocean, watching all the people in the audience sway calmly with the music.

Kylie Holloway/8th

KylieHolloway — 2015-09-04 03:08:17 UTC

When I think of the ocean, my mind immediately goes to one of my favorite pieces of artwork, The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusaki. I've always thought that the ocean was fascinating because of its massiveness, its power, and its strength. I really enjoy this piece because it depicts the ocean very well. I love the size of the wave compared to the boat, and the color scheme is beautiful.

Jeremiah Bennett/2nd

JeremiahBennett — 2015-09-04 03:15:18 UTC

I chose this GIF, because a couple of years ago I was invited to join my brother on his ship as they sailed back to San Diego. My brother works for the Navy so at the time he was working on an amphibious ship. It was pretty neat to be picked up on the beach by an LCU then carried to his ship. We were treated like guests at a hotel yet we still had to eat their food which wasn't that appetizing. altogether It was a very memorable experience

Will Brath/7th

WILLBRATH — 2015-09-04 03:22:41 UTC

This past summer I was lucky enough to travel to San Francisco and view this bridge and the bay area around it. A lot of times when I think of water, I think of different ways to cross it, to see what else is out there. A bridge is one of those ways. It has the ability to take you to places that you never even imagined. Just like a bridge, water can take you to new places that you didn't even know about.

Sydney Vaughn/2nd

SydneyVaughn — 2015-09-04 03:23:36 UTC

I chose this song to represent how I view the ocean. Not only does the song mention the beautiful ocean itself, but refers to it as this huge unknown world that we are all just one tiny little piece of. This song itself is beautiful and peaceful which is how I think of the ocean, but it also gives off a desperate, emotional feeling which is also how the ocean can portray itself. The waters are beautiful, but at the same time, they could swallow you whole.

Will Moody/7th

WillMoody — 2015-09-04 11:52:16 UTC

A quote by Mahatma Gandhi

"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."

I'm generally a guy who enjoys the company of people, however, some people i meet are just jerks. Kinda makes me think "Wow, humanity sure does suck today". But this quote kinda gives insight that just because there are some scummy people doesn't mean all of humanity is bad. Even I've had days where i'm that way, it passes though for everyone, unless you know someone who's constantly a wet blanket or something, then sorry friend.

Dalton Cunningham/7th

2015-09-04 13:38:02 UTC

I chose this picture because when I think of the ocean I think of starfish. When I was little my favorite sea animal was a starfish, and my cousin brought me back a giant starfish from a trip she went on. It's fascinating how they can regenerate their limbs, and they're are so many diffrent types of starfish.

Nicholas Neal/8

NicholasNeal — 2015-09-04 16:44:44 UTC

I chose this video mainly because of the title and aquatic based theme of the video. I watched it some time ago and was struggling with ideas for this assignment till I remembered this video. The style of music (at least to me) is very relaxing and calm, similar to the ocean. While the light show of a kraken done in the video is very cool and based at the sea.

Astrid Velazquez/8

AstridVelazquez — 2015-09-04 19:06:37 UTC

The ocean reminds me about the Oarfish. The Oarfish is the largest bony fish in the sea, and can grow over 50 feet in length. Very little is known about the species since its usually found thousands of feet below the surface, reaching depths up to 3,000 feet. This fish is one of the many types of proof that there is more to the ocean than we know. There might be other creatures out there that could be bigger and or dangerous to us that we may never know about.

KrisSoukkaseum — 2015-09-04 19:08:32 UTC

Talking about the sea, i'm reminded of south east asia and how they live off the water. Peoples live in boats, fish on boats, and eat in boats. These fishing boats supply villages giving the people food, shelter, and money.

English Joseph/8th

engljose1166 — 2015-09-05 01:15:04 UTC

The ocean constantly reminds me how there is a great amount of different people there are in the world. We never take a look at what is new, or what new people we have yet talked to. People could learn a lot about different ideas if they took the time for it. This is what i think when i think of the ocean.

Maria Dimas/8

MariaDimas — 2015-09-05 03:16:59 UTC

I chose this picture because it has many colors that pop out and describe how much life there us in the unknown ocean. Many people fish and dumb in oceans and seas not knowing that there are thousands of living animals and plants that call the ocean "home". They don't realize that just like humans on earth, fish need some place to survive on and make generations of other beautiful fish. The ocean is an unknown world with a lot yo discover, but as much as we want to go down there and take all of it's creatures, the ocean needs to live in peace. Instead of fishing and destroying the underwater habitats, we need to collaborate to bring cleanliness to the waters. Fish and plants depend on the ocean's water the way we depend on the earth's air.

SyKonza Evans / 8th

SyKonzaEvans — 2015-09-06 17:24:08 UTC

I chose this picture because it has a valuable message that needs to be looked at more. The way humans dispose of their waste is taking a toll on animals that live in the ocean. As the movie stated , " Lovelace" was swimming when a six -pack ring was caught around his neck. If we do not take care of this problem now , future generations will miss out on these beatuiful creatures .

Justin Maxwell/6th

justmaxw8645 — 2015-09-07 00:05:16 UTC

I chose this picture because it makes me think of how there is so much more ocean than there is land. We don't know what's down there, it's a mystery to us. I'm fascinated with thought's of all the thing's in the ocean we have yet to discover. The ocean is vast, deep and strong. It's something to treat with care. It's something to dream about.

Alyssa Westberry / 8th Period

AlyssaWestberry — 2015-09-07 01:08:01 UTC

I chose this picture because it goes to show how beautiful life is in the ocean. Every fish is different in many ways, yet, they all interact with one another in a way. All of the beautiful colors create a lovely environment that is often taken for granted.

Abbi Jirik/ 6th

AbbiJirik — 2015-09-07 02:27:11 UTC

This picture of who knows what reminds me of how much we don't know. It constantly blows my mind to see how much has been created, and know how much has been created but will never be able to see it. This jelly fish, thing reminds me of how in an article we annotated it says, "the ocean is so deep, in fact, that direction stops making sense." This jelly fish guy doesn't make sense to me either, because it lives in such a vast abyss, in the dark at all times. Creation is so cool to see, and discover, it blows my mind.

Kaitlyn Chesney / 8th

kaitlynchesney — 2015-09-07 14:48:23 UTC

I chose this image because it is from a well known childhood movie that at the time we probably didn't know the value of its teachings. In this scene Nemo and Dory have been captured in a net intended to catch tuna. This reminded me of the video we watched last week in class were many fish died in the effort to catch just a small number of shrimp. In reality Nemo and Dory should have been doomed but with their quick thinking they were able to escape death, rehearsing the phrase "Keep swimming". This problem of killing an unnecessary amount of fish just for a few is shown on such a large scale but was just brought to my attention last week. It's a bigger deal than we realize and there needs to be some changes.

Josh Allen/4th

Joshallen228 — 2015-09-07 15:32:23 UTC

I chose this image because it really makes you appreciate what has been created here on Earth. The picture of this jellyfish shows how unique many creatures are. Looking at this picture, I thought it was amazing that a fish like this could have so many attractive colors. This jellyfish gives a feeling of freedom as it swims through the ocean. This goes along very well with what we have learned this week because the ocean is truly and amazaing place with unlimited potential.

Jenny Collins/6th

jennifercollins3 — 2015-09-07 15:40:16 UTC

I chose this picture because it's one of the most known sea predators in the ocean. As scary as they may seem no one really knows how their value is substantial for the health of the worlds oceans.

Gracyn Blakley/8th

gracblak9558 — 2015-09-07 15:46:46 UTC

I chose this picture because it shows how many different creatures live in the ocean and how pretty the ocean probably is down at the bottom. There's so much of the ocean that is undiscovered and there are so many animals that the ocean is a home to.

Cierra Crosby/6th

cierracrosby — 2015-09-07 16:12:05 UTC

I choose this picture because believe it or not beluga whales play an important role in the sea environment. Beluga whales live in the artic, and their lives are greatly imacted by climate change. They feed off fish, crabs, and many other small species and remain at the top of the food chain. They depend on sea ice to live!

Victoria Wise/6th

VictoriaWise — 2015-09-07 16:46:49 UTC

During Unit One, our main focus was the sea. I learned about the good and bad things that the sea endures but overall I was introduced to new information that left me in shock. The picture I chose is a coral reef. I picked this picture because of the bright colors and the diversity in it. This image truly captures how beautiful the sea really is and I absolutely love that.

Alexsis Greene/6th

alexsisgreene — 2015-09-07 17:53:34 UTC

I choose this Dolphin picture because they are my favorite animals in the sea. Which is also related to our theme for this unit. Dolpins live in saltwater, they stick to the shallow areas of the water. They catch and eat their food underwater. They also eat things that brush up on the beaches .

Audrey Blake/ 2nd

Audrey Blake/2nd

audrblak2796 — 2015-09-07 18:51:52 UTC

I chose this photo, because when I think of the ocean the word free is what comes to my mind. The ocean is its own, it does what it wants and doesn't listen to anyone. The ocean is free, wild, calm, overwhelming, dangerous, and safe. This picture perfectly describes what I think of when I think of the ocean. I strive to be like the ocean because of how free it is.

Kayla Pless/2nd

KaylaPless — 2015-09-07 23:05:43 UTC

I chose this picture because when I think of the ocean, I think of family. Every summer my family takes a trip to the beach, and it has become one of my favorite places in the world. The ocean is such a gorgeous place that everyone shares. The ocean is family to me.

I love that we connect with others and the teacher as well considering most teachers are most are closed in hiding who they truly are

poneelijah — 2015-09-08 00:18:55 UTC

The most inspirational part of the class is connecting with people and the teacher especially considering most teachers refrain from that

Mark Wakefield/6th

MarkWakefield — 2015-09-08 00:31:12 UTC

The ocean is synonymous with danger and unknown. The first images that come to mind are shipwrecks and debris underwater. Those ships are memorials of the humans tempting a force far larger and uncontrollable that we know. I have a picture of the Titanic's wreckage, one of the more infamous failures on the seas, and an example of the ocean's danger and uncertainty.

Bianell Huerta/2nd

bianellhuerta — 2015-09-08 00:51:37 UTC

I chose this image because it shows the beauty of the ocean. It shows that the ocean is not only all blue and full of fish. It also has coral reefs in which the fish also live in. I like at how this image shows the different types of fish and how they live together like in a community. And at how its colorful it really brings attention to ones eye.

Erika Debnam / 6th

ErikaDebnam — 2015-09-08 01:19:02 UTC

This music video demonstrates the sea in an abstract way. Some of the many shapes and colors found in the ocean can be found nowhere else, and this video artistically exaggerates these features. I found it interesting because this could be how people perceived the ocean before we truly began exploring it. The ocean is a phenomenon that always has certain parts which have never before been seen by human eyes.

Joshua Smith / 7th

joshsmith1058 — 2015-09-08 01:22:49 UTC

The ocean is ominous and we do not know much about the ocean. While this image shows how the ocean can be scary and dangerous with the dark shadows and the menacing octopus, it also shows the real beauty in the ocean. The octopus is quite the creature, having 8 appendages and being so large in size. There are still so many things that we don't know about the ocean, who knows what is out there? It's very interesting to me to think about how many new creatures we find after new explorations in the ocean. I've always thought Octopuses were really interesting and one of my favourite sea animals.

Will Rakin / 2nd

willrankin — 2015-09-08 01:24:44 UTC

I chose this photo because whenever I think of the ocean and the sea I think of how much we really don't know about it. We as humans have evolved so much in the past few hundred years and have invented so much new technology that has changed our lives but we still can't even explore some of the areas of the ocean we have never even imagined existed, and that is what interests me so much about it. We have been on this planet for thousands of years and yet we still have only explored a small percentage of it. It's crazy to think about how much else there is out there.

Addy Walker/4th

addywalker — 2015-09-08 02:38:57 UTC

I chose this picture because I think it shows the beauty of the ocean, but also the strength. You can see the waves washing up and it sets an ambiguous tone; the ocean is beautiful, the ocean is dangerous, the ocean is a mystery, etc. It's a relatively dark photo, but there's also a small line of light coming from the clouds. In a way I think this represents the ocean. We've only explored a very small percentage of the ocean (the light) and the large portion we haven't explored is a complete mystery (the dark).

Khari Church/6th

kharchur1809 — 2015-09-08 02:47:59 UTC

I chose this photo because we talked a lot about how one person can make a change by their actions. It shows that someone's action led to these turtles being trapped in their net. This happens a lot and it's not just a net all the time. People throw their trash anywhere and it leads to the seat of animals because they swallow and choke on it

Jake Pepper/8th

JakePepper — 2015-09-08 02:58:47 UTC

I chose this picture of James Cameron's submarine because it makes me think of how much of our ocean is completely alien to us. It's crazy to think that we've only explored close to 10% of it! So when people like James Cameron go and explore the abyss it just blows my mind. The ocean is just as exotic as outer space!

DaJe Goodman/2nd

dajecoleman — 2015-09-08 02:59:52 UTC

I chose this picture because it shows different types of fishes, and it shows what we cant see. It also makes you think about how many fishes we could be hurting by polluted the ocean

La'Trease Golden/2nd

LatreaseGolden — 2015-09-08 03:43:53 UTC

I choose this picture because when i think of the ocean and how deep it is, it amazes me how in some parts of the ocean sun light still manages to reach the bottom. When i see this picture i think about how no matter how deep something is, sometimes light can still shine. To relate this to a real life situation i think that no matter how deep or serious something is, there could still be a bright side to it. The way the sun light brightens the oceans makes everything more beautiful.

Spencer Van Fleet/2nd

SPENCERVANFLEET — 2015-09-08 04:18:14 UTC

I chose this because when ever i think of the water i think of the Mediterranean Sea. I also chose this because my ancestors came from the Italian Coast. This picture represents the true beauty that is the sea and that is Italy. I also selected this particular piece because it is rather aesthetic and pleasing to the eye.

Tiffany Patterson/2nd

Tiffanypatterson — 2015-09-08 04:20:32 UTC

I took this picture last summer when I was on the beach one morning. It gave me a realization of how beautiful god had created the world and how appreciative we should be of the beautiful things he gives us. The ocean I think is taken for granted many times and is not given appreciation for what a big contribution it gives to the world. This picture is an inspiration to me because it shows me how beautiful and calm the sea can be and it doesn't always have to be a place where sharks or the scary unknown creatures are.

Claire Persons/4th

ClairePersons — 2015-09-08 04:45:40 UTC

I chose this song (Whaling Tale by Valley of the Giants) because it tells a story from the point of view of a whaler, which is a controversial profession that has been banned in most parts of the world. This song makes me think about the dangers of the ocean, whether it be working on the ocean, or being an animal trying to survive in it. And it makes me think about how even though many people see killing whales as wrong, the whalers kill them from the point of view of trying to save something else; the penguin. They believe that what they're doing is good. It puts some perspective on the matter. I also chose this song because it reminds me of "Home of the Whale," which we just had to annotate. I actually discovered this song before we started the unit and immediately thought of it, as I had been listening to it nonstop for the past few days.

Eduardo Jimenez/8th

2015-09-08 04:49:03 UTC

I chose this image due to the true beauty of the ocean. It is self is memorizing, add the life along with it and it just sucks you in. This image represents that, look deep into the middle, you will get sucked in. Will go deep but will not want to come out but rather explore more, but that's okay. The ocean is still barely explored, be the one to find more beauty in the ocean. Create another image that is memorizing.

Kirk Arcena/7th

KirkArcena — 2015-09-08 06:03:38 UTC

I chose this image because it greatly shows how peaceful, vast and wonderful the ocean is. I think of the ocean as a place of peace and serenity, a place where one can relax, enjoy and forget everything. I also think of it as an escape from the chaotic society. I feel like I have a deep connection with the ocean itself, since I was born and raised near the sea. I also chose this particular image simply because I like how the sun is rising by the horizon as if it's being reborn.

Jonathan Drum/8th

jonadrum5754 — 2015-09-08 11:46:41 UTC

I chose this image simply for the fact that I love dolphins. I didn't realize how majestic these creatures actually were. They're always so free, they have nothing to do except enjoy themselves. They are truly the happiness of the sea.

Daniel Smith/2nd

danielsmith — 2015-09-08 11:53:03 UTC

I chose this picture because it shows that we really don't know what lies in the shadows. No matter how much we know, there is always something that can make us wonder or be afraid.

Hannah Khan / 4th per

2015-09-08 12:34:00 UTC

This song reminds me of the ocean because it reminds me of the vastness and danger of the ocean. It is about a sailor who is wishing to go home but all he sees out of his window is blue ocean and sky. It is a dangerous thing because at any moment for the sailor something could happen to his ship and no one would know. It is also evokes the feeling of isolation compared the the miniscule size of one human on one ship in a body of water that makes up the majority of the whole planet.

Justin Shields/ 2nd

Andrew Vogler/ 7th

andrvogl8906 — 2015-09-08 14:12:45 UTC

I chose this photo because i like sharks. They are a huge part of the ocean life and they are very well known. I like these animals because people only see these animals to be bad but there is much more to them then just what most people know.

Kyle Gonzales/4th

Kylegonzales — 2015-09-08 14:24:21 UTC

I chose this picture because it shows that the ocean has lots of sea creatures, and the sea is a harmony all around us. The jellyfish isn't afraid of anything, and it has lots of stingers like the ocean has lots of sea creatures and places for the sea creatures.

Emily Thompson/4th

emilythompson — 2015-09-08 14:28:14 UTC

My favorite thing about the ocean are the penguins. Ever since i was little i always thought that they were cute and cuddly. Someday i want to go swim with them, maybe in Argentina. Penguins are my favorite because they are loyal and loving towards each other. For example in order to keep warm the penguins huddle in a big group; then they alternate being on the inside and outside.

My favorite thing in the ocean by far is the saw fish. I think the saw fish is really cool because of it long snout that looks like a saw blade. This animal is really long and big but is virtually almost harmless. This is my favorite animal in the sea because of the way it looks and the way it acts

When I think about the ocean I think about the vast and blue beauty that it encompasses. Its the one thing that connects us all no matter where we live or how we live. I feel at home in water especially in salt water its always been somewhere i can think so the ocean for me is a way to get away from all that may trouble me

When i think about the ocean i think about all kinds of fish and animals living in the same areas and getting along so well. They are all so different and have different families yet they all live together in perfect harmony and it remains so peaceful. All different kinds of fish live there with their own unique looks and yet all of them are beautiful, in their own way.

I chose this picture because it makes me think about the ocean when I see it. Clown fish are really cool looking and cute. I thought of this animal because of the movie Nemo. i like this animal because it is orange and that's my favorite color.

i chose this picture because there is so much to explore in the oceans depths that we have yet to see. The world by itself is amazing just imagine whats in the water that we haven't discovered yet. Creatures, plants, and everything that may exist under there is beautiful in its own way. i would love to one day view this and see exactly how far we can go with the different discoveries. the world has so much to offer. Take this turtle for example its ordinary yet common but how many of us actually seen one in person?

The ocean is never stopping. Something is always moving, and is a very powerful source of energy.

When i think of the ocean i always think of the sun setting over the ocean. I find this to be peaceful to think about as well as also actually seeing it in person. The ocean is an amazing place with all the different types of ways one can enjoy themselves. I enjoy it the most when I am on the beach watching the sun go down and letting the day go by.

I chose this picture because it shows the diversity of life in the ocean, and the fragile ecosystem that they live in. The ocean is home to a vast number of species. Many new species are discovered every year. We have only explored a small percent of the ocean, which leaves so much more to be discovered.

I did this picture because i really enjoy seafood and it is very yummy. And we need to take better care of our ocean so seafood will still be clean enough to enjoy.

I chooses to do the kraken because it is one of the most mysterious creatures in the sea. There are so many questions on whether this monster exists or not. I believe that in the sea anything can exist because there are so many things we haven't explored about the sea. I love the though of a scary sea creature because it makes the sea all the more thrilling.

I picked a picture of a sea turtle because they are very calm and beautiful.i really enjoy animals. Sea turtles are very different because they can be amphibious. They live for a very long time and only have one mate. i think that is so cute and a great fact.

I chose this picture of Dolphins because they are my favorite animal. For the ocean most people used to be scared of the ocean and dolphins fins looked like shark fins and would be easily mistaken. Dolphins are very intelligent for a sea creature. They are also very gentle most of the time which I find very interesting since they like to try help humans that are in danger

I chose this picture because it shows how beautiful the sea is. It shows the bright vibrant colors of the fish deep down in the ocean. It represents the hundreds of fish that live deep down in the ocean. There's a world of fish in the ocean just like there's a world of humans here on earth. There's so much of the ocean we have yet to see with our naked eye.

I chose this picture because it is of the sea. The sea look beautiful yet mysterious in this picture. The sun is setting over it and it appears to be peaceful to me. Even though it looks peaceful you can't tell what is going on under the water.

I chose this picture because the ocean and dolphins represents freedom, and that's how I feel about the ocean.

I choose this picture because it ties in with the unit we have been discussing about the Sea, Dolphins, and whales. Everything we've learned and annotated that ties in with the Sea.

I chose this picture because it lets us see what's going on under water. Its also makes me think about how many fishes we could be hurting by polluting the ocean.
