Marine Gets Silver Star for Saving Buddy

Three days ago, staff sergeant Timothy Williams got a Silver Star award for saving a team leader and ran the length of three football fields. In July 2012 the Marines were switching from fighting to training Afghan soldiers when they were ambushed by the Taliban. His friend was shot and Williams saved him by carrying back to the helicopter. The author thinks it was a great deed. I agree with the author because I think he should be awarded this medal for his honorable behavior. An OTA student, Ian, thought it was a great deed.

3D Printing Aims for the Mainstream

Thursday, January 9th, 2014

In Las Vegas, Nevada, there a was a convention for 3D Printing. For $800, you could buy a 3D Printer from San Diego group Robo 3D that will print out a gear for an aerial drone, a gumball machine, a scooter, and a shoe. The people quoted in the article say that it should be sold to the public. The author does not have an opinion but just states the facts. I think that it should be used because it would help people. An eighth grade student, Morgan, said that it should not be sold because it is too expensive and she thinks people won’t buy it.

Mathews Still Absent, Hardwick Cleared from the Union-Tribune
January 10th, 2014

Today, we learned about two Chargers players, Ryan Mathews and NIck Hardwick. Ryan Mathews was absent from practice because he suffered an ankle injury. Nick Hardwick returned to practice. He was injured with a neck injury. This is important because they both have to play in the next game; the division game. The author is stating the facts. I think it’s a good idea that they should play in the next game. Ryan Mathews should rest so he can play again. My classmate Quin thinks Mathews should not play because he needs to rest.

 

The Night of Horror: The Prequel Part 2

Next, I left the temple and went down to the mineshaft to free the slaves. I attacked the henchmen then my friends and I got the chains off the slaves and freed them. The big slave driver attacked me. Then the female kid took a voodoo doll of me and stabbed it with a needle.

She fell onto the rock crusher and almost got caught in it. My friend attacked the female kid and I attacked the big henchman. He almost dropped a rock on my head and I took two buckets and hit him with it. Next, he dropped the rock on his head and his sash got stuck.  He got caught in the rock crusher, died, and blood was over the crusher.

My friends and I got into a mine cart and the priest came out. Then henchman got their guns and went into the mine cart. My friends were screaming, the guns we’re shooting, and I attacked the henchman.  The first cart tipped over into a lava pit. The priest told the henchman to tip the big water bucket over to flood the mineshaft then the second cart crashed into the bridge. The big bucket tipped over and the mines flooded.  We escaped the mine and the water shot out of the cave.

My friends got to the bridge then my friend bounced on the bridge.  One of the planks collapsed, and there were gators below the bridge. I ran to get to the bridge and two henchman with swords came out. I attacked them and got one of their swords and I got chased by a crowd of henchman. Once my friends got to the other side my friend screamed and the priest was there. They got on the bridge, I cut the bridge with my sword, and the henchman fell into the lake. Then the henchman got eaten, I attacked the priest, and I punched him into the lake. The priest also got eaten and died. The female kid returned with reinforcements and the soldiers shot the henchman into the lake. Then all the henchman died and got eaten. We returned to the village with the stones and all the slave children returned to the village to their parents.
