AOW Gallery Walk Reflection


     This week I heard about many interesting events going on in the world. I could sense the level of importance through the frequent repetition of some of the articles. In all, they were very interesting and I learned a lot about the world! The world is changing very fast, so who knows what is going to happen next! Half of the things I heard about shocked me, because I never saw them coming. For example, who knew that there would be a deadly earthquake in Nepal killing about 7,500 people! (Information still changing) Even by now, our sources could have turned inaccurate because the world is changing so fast, we sometimes don't even realize it!

      One really interesting article was about the Nepal earthquake. Many people did this topic, including: Sam and Sebastian. I thought it was interesting how they each had different death tolls! I think this is because their articles were published at different times. The articles are probably still changing! After researching this topic, I found this website, and I learned that 290 (Now 494 at 7:52 Pm)  people died today there so far! Its really crazy what a natural disaster, like an earthquake, can do to a civilization.

      Another interesting and common article was about the Baltimore Riots. Again, many people did this article. That Included, Diana, Devin, and Evie. I knew that this must be an important thing that happened in the world. What happened was that a person named Freddie Gray died in police custody, and this caused angry riots. This could be bad now because people might think "Oh police are bad!" This is not good because it might cause people who are in a dangerous situation be reluctant to call the police for help!
