Who was Jane Goodall, Roberta Edwards, Biography

I read about Jane Goodall helping chimps by getting resources to help them because they are becoming extinct. She was asking zoos and other people to help the chimps. Since everyone was helping the chimps they became more popular and it worked to save them from extinction. 
 
One of the highlights in Jane Goodall's life was that she saved chimps from becoming extinct. Another highlight was learning how brave she was when she went in the forest alone to study chimps. She wrote a book about the chimps to share her experience.  This helped other people learn more about chimps.  The thing that made Jane Goodall famous was when she wrote a book about chimps and what she had learned. The book was in the news and people who studied chimps hired her and she became famous. 

Yours truly,
Ella Henderson ]]> 2018-01-27 16:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ccopley13/tc7i0xm5mvw1/wish/225302549 https://padlet.com/ccopley13/tc7i0xm5mvw1/wish/225379366 Dear Mrs. Copley,

Who was Walt Disney?, by Whitney Stewart, Biography.

This week I read about how Walt met his future wife named Lillian and how she worked for him. I also read about how Walt created his first mouse named Mortimer mouse but Lillian suggested Mickey Mouse.

One of the first things Walt did was move to Hollywood. This was important because that’s where he first started making movies. He was one of the first people to make moving cartoons. The first movie he created was Alice in wonderland. He failed many times but never gave up until he did it. An example of this is when he failed in Kansas so he moved to Hollywood to try again. 


sincerely,
Leonidas Karmanos

Who is J.K. Rowling, Pam Pollack and Meg Belviso, Biography

Today I read about how J.K. Rowling first three Harry Potter stories were challenged books, that means that some teachers at schools would not allow that books in library’s. There are other challenging books like Lord of the flies, Captain Underpants, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I also learned that J.K became richer then the Queen of England!

J.K. Rowling became famous because her books were so popular that every one wanted to read all her stories, even some people in America bought the third Harry Potter book on the internet before it even got published in America because people couldn’t wait. As a kid J.K was very poor, so as a grownup she work very hard to be successful. J.K. stopped people from bullying at her school because she wanted peace to the world. Jo which is what J.K. was called by her friends was exactly like Hermione Granger, Hermione is a wizard from Harry Potter that Jo made up.

I read Tech Icons Sergey Brin, by Sara Green,  Biography

This week I read about Sergey Brin and his love of computers and information technology. Sergey was born in Moscow, Russia in 1973. When Sergey was young, he and his parents were living in the Soviet Union, and had a difficult time since they were Jews. The Soviet Union had some rules that were unfair to Jews. They asked if they could leave the country and the Soviet Government said yes! Sergey Brin loved math and science at an early age. Because of that he got into collage at the age of 15!

Sergey Brin became famous by launching the most popular search engine called Google. Google was launched as one of the first and easiest search engines, so that made it popular fast. In 2014 Sergey Brin was worth more than 31 billion dollars!

The book I'm reading is Vera Wang, by Diane Dakers, Biography.

Vera did not get anything on a silver platter, and that she had to work for it. the Christmas of 1956, Vera's parents gave her a pair of Ice skates as a Christmas gift. when her dad took her to the Central Park to try them out, she loved them as soon as she tried them. So that's where it began for Vera's Iceskating passion. 

Vera Wang became famous for her sowing I bet your wondering how she became famous? Well in 1989 Vera was looking for the perfect wedding gown, she couldn't find her dream dress that suited her style. so she decided to design her own dress. With no experience at all! It was a great dress and soon grew a passion for designing gowns, and was great at it! So this is how it all happened.

sincerely,
Jenna Pataq

I read Drew Brees, by Marty Gitlin, Modern biography
 
This week I read about Drew Brees and his amazing team in the NFL. Did you know that Drew Brees played for a team named the San Diego Chargers? Drew Brees has an excellent family. Drew Brees is married to Brittany and has a son named Baylen.

Drew Brees played for Purdue University's football team. Brees showed great talent for Purdue. Drew Brees became a star by working very hard on passing a football. Before he was in collage and he was a freshmen, he played many collage games. This is special because freshmens don't usually get a chance to play on a collage team but for Brees he got on a team for collage very easily. He is an awesome offensive player. I liked reading about Drew Brees. It was an epic book. I can't wait to read more about him!

I am reading ''Who 
was Rosa Parks'' by Yona Zeldis McDonough, the genre is biography. Rosa Parks was born February 4, 1913. She was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. She attended school in the rural south. She remembered going to elementary school where the white students rode the bus and the black students had to walk. Under the Jim Crow laws, racial segregation was imposed in public places and retail stores in the South. That included public transportation. Buses and trains had separate seating for blacks and whites. In December 1943, Rosa Parks started working with the Civil Rights Movement. She worked as a secretary in the NAACP. She worked for equality even before the Montgomery bus boycott. On December 1, 1955 after a long day at work she refused to give up her seat on the bus in the "whites only" section. When she refused to give up her seat, she was arrested. This started the Montgomery bus boycott and was very important in the civil rights struggle. This was an important part of American history.
