I guess you will have to think about that now or even ask these knowledgable professionals. That's your task. I will post picture, and I ask that you identify the event and the approximate time that it was in the news.
Note: As I am writing this blog, Santa is driving through my neighborhood on a caravan of fire trucks. It is anything but quiet!
First and foremost.....
Now, how about these events.....
Arkansas Tornado 2011 Map
The images were so upsetting for this next one. This is the most benign of all.
Happier times....
Who and why?
I guess the math teachers would have something to say about this.
Maybe this too....
Let's leave this one for Mr. Eckert, Mrs. Mackin, and Mr. Szot.
Your thoughts?
What did I miss? Let's hear from you all now.
NOTE: This post is going up on December 7. Why should we remember this day? Easy question, right?

In the second half of 7th grade, I was starting to think about the ASK 7 and trying to study for all my quizzes and tests so I could do better than I usually do. I also know that there are no barriers on Route 70 and there have been many accidents and deaths there because of it.Also, I think back in April in Tuscan, Arizona, there was a shooting and injured 19 people and of those 19 people, 6 died.Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords was shot through the head and is now trying to recover. Also, a girl named Christina-Taylor Green was shot and killed. She was born on September 11th, 2011. Her dad made a comment after she died that said, "She was born in tragedy and died in tragedy." The first picture is the NASA rocket going to space and inside is the NASA team with Gabriel Gifford's husband, Mark Kelly. The 2nd picture is the Japan earthquake that left many homeless, poor, injured, or killed. The 3rd picture is the 9-11 memorial that opened in New York City. The 4th picture is Osama Bin Laden who died and now everyone is happier. Prince William and Kate who recently got married over the summer. Steve Jobs who recently died who invented the first apple computer. Casey Anthony who should have got the death penalty. The super Bowl which so many people watch every year. And Barack Obama our president. Hey Mrs.P! first again!!!!! yay!!! :) See you later, Mrs.P!! :)
ReplyDelete~Courtney M.
Really good job, Courtney M and I forgot about Gabrielle Giffords.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice the Wall Street sign? What do you think the math teachers would say about that one?
Mrs. Prisbell
Some events that I remember is the hurricane that hit here over the summer. I also remember that minor earthquale over the summer that was felt here. For the superbowl, I did some research and found out that it was between the packers and the steelers. The packers won. The picture with the man and the apple is steve jobs and he passed away this year.
ReplyDeleteLets do this! I am going to make the longest blog post anyone has topped so far! This amazing year of 2011 has been an amazing experience. NASA launched their "last" space shuttle because president Obama shut it down or something. In Thailand the flooding and natural disasters got really bad. Including Japan and Haiti with earthquakes and Hawii with a Tsunami. The east coast of America was hit by hurricane Irene; which costed billions upon billions of dollars in repairs still undergoing. Plus the 10th annaversarry of 9/11 and the offical construction of the Freedom Towers began this year, I've seen the first tower myself. Along with being the country with literally thousands of tornadoes, America is on a 2011 record spree! Plus, Osama Bin Laden was finally killed by USA marines and the prince and princess got married over the summer. Don't forget the one and only CEO of Apple Steve Jobs died recently, down-grading the production of new Apple products. Casey Anthony's trial was for murdering her young child. I don't even know how she got away with it, the lawyer must be REALLY good. Even with all the obvious proof they had to prove her guilty, she got out of it. But it's obvious she is probably feeling really guilty and is not going to have a great afterlife! Wall Street protesters have been there months declaring they want all their jobs back. It's not going to do anything because with all the time they spent protesting, they could've gotten another job by now! Super Bowl XLV was between the undefeated (this season) Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Packers won I think 35-21. Barack Obama is running for re-election against several Republicans, who aren't very bright at all. Republicans include: Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, and Herman Cain. I think Obama is going to win only because all the Republicans made themselves look REALLY stupid. Newt Gingrich (or something like that) has showed up to start becoming a bigger option for a candidate against Obama. And Mr. Eckert told us today it is the 70th annerversarry of the bombing of Peral Harbor in WWII. Mrs. Prisbell, you forgot about all the musical factors of 2011! During the Super Bowl XLV halftime show, Slash saved the Black Eyed Peas from a booing crowd because in my opinion they were bad live. Slash is coming out with a new album either around Chritmas or sometime in early 2012. It seems this year rock n' roll fans dropped and modern music increased in fans by the millions this year! Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry skyrocketed in fans. DragonForce, Avenged Sevenfold, and Aerosmith fans dropped like flies. This is why all modern bands such as them and any earlier bands are making new albums to get their fans back. Take that Andrew and Jazmine if you're reading this, I didn't cheat like you guys! I've been typing this since 3:30 and it's 4:00, it's been a long time! Italy's government dropped this year to 3rd worst government in the world as well. This is also the first year that moblie devices (in the U.S) have outnumbered people in America! New York City are getting new taxies in 2014 and they had the first model done this year for preview! Also China and Russia hacked into the Pentagon's computers and stole information on the Republican candidates for some odd reason. Obama has put up higher defenses in the computers for 2 billion dollars. Ugh this is tiring work making all these letters!! This year finally concluded the Harry Potter movies when the Deathly Hallows came out in July and November. That's important to some people, especially my family. I'd like to see someone top this1 Tell me what you think Mrs. Prisbell! -Jimmy
ReplyDeleteI think that all the Math teachers would say that it's really bad how our economy is so bad in this country and how they should work harder so more people can get jobs and actually make money and not be homeless or poor and be able to make money to buy their selves or their family things like food which most people die from, not eating for a long time. Hey Mrs.P! I like how you asked me today if I went on the blog and I said yes and then everyone in class asked me if it's my home page and then Brian said it's like her facebook page. That was funny! Well, see you tomorrow and hope you enjoy the band and chorus concert! :)
ReplyDelete~Courtney M.
Oooo and why we should remember today is because this day back in 1941 we were bombed by Japan. We called that event Pearl Harbor. We should always remember today and why this horrible tragedy took place and how it has changed history.
ReplyDelete~Courtney M.
@ Jenna...Thanks for reminding us of the East Coast weather issues.
ReplyDelete@ Courtney M.....Hahaha...I agree about the guys' comments in class. I'm glad you explained Pearl Harbor. Also, I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow's concert.
@ Jimmy....Well, what can I say? Your post was long and extremely interesting. I love the way you editorialized after each entry. Ha. Thanks for getting us up to date on music throughout 2011. Additionally, you were correct about the "last" space shuttle from the US in space this summer. Remember, my son works at NASA and I was in Houston when that occurred. It was both sad and exciting at the same time.
Thanks for sharing your insight on the year in review. PS...not sure if yours is the longest so far though. We will have to check back.
Mrs. Prisbell
Hayley o........I remember the earthquake it was so weird I was on the beach sittingin the sand and felt like tiles shifting lol. The tornado Watch and hurricane scared me but was really minor here. The NASA thing I remember watching on tv as it set off. A good thing was a major terrorist of our country binladen death not to say like it's good to for people to die I just mean a crazy person like him who killed and made other people suffer. I didn't know who Steve Jobs was until his death Whig was said how many great accomplishments he achieved. Casey anothy don't even get me started she is In my opinion extremely guilty even though people say there is no proof who goes out partying the night there child iis missing that whole case was a shame a little girls life lost and a crazy lady let back into the world no restrictions.packers winning superbowl last year nd have a really good chance this year! And the anniversary of 9/11was sad for many and scary not to me negative but me and many others I saw not tv were expecting terrorist attacks due to the anniversary and binladens recent death. Anyways I had an idea for a new blog post it could be about what some holiday traditions people have are because I know in my homerrom we had this discussion and it was interesting some of the unique traditions
ReplyDeleteAll of the pictures were already explained, so I will talk about the things that took place in my life. Seventh grade was probably the year that I did the most work. I was busy and could not wait to be in eight grade. I did not feel the earthquake, but most people did. I enjoyed my summer this past year. I also wanted to add that Obama is going to bring the troops back home. Some people might not agree with the decision, but that was a big event this past year. The economy never really did improve much either in 2011. I cannot wait to see what the big news of 2012 will be!
ReplyDeleteOoo good! We all did good today and hope we do good tomorrow! And yes! never knew much about it but now I do! See ya tomorrow Mrs.P :)
ReplyDelete~Courtney M.
Loved those comments too!! :) ~Courtney M.
ReplyDeleteWe'll talk more tomorrow, Courtney M.
ReplyDelete@ Hayley...Thanks for not holding anything back with your opinions of Casey Anthony. You are not alone on your opinion. I agree about the anniversary and Bin Laden's death causing pause for concern. Thanks for the holiday blog idea. I will consider Tradition Telling Tuesday.
@ Devony....I agree sadly about the economy not showing much improvement in 2011. Let's hope for a better 2012. I also look forward to the troops coming home very soon.
See you all tomorrow.
Mrs. Prisbell
Ok so umm oh ya, so when u had the Casey Anthony picture, I remembered something that my dad said: he told me that they removed the death penalty it something(that would have been helpful in the life of the outsiders lol)I really think that is stupid. this is because if u go around killing people, y shouldnt u. Also this past yr was very eventful. I remember that I re did my bedroom so it is a dark purple with bright white waynescotting. Also, my uncle mickeys mom passed away, Patricia King, and a breakfast service was held for her. In the summer it was was cousin liahs first birthday!!!there were also some sad, sad times.......... But let's ne hapy. So uh anyways Hermin came dropped out if the presidential election I think after all of the scandals were surfacing. Honestly, michellle bockman has no I sea what she is talking about........look up the videos of her on utube , Lolol. That's kinda all I'm gonna say cuz I'm like exhausted. First away game at southern tomorrow, vestige pickle(:js
ReplyDeleteOk I don't know what happened to my words.......vestige pickle???????????? Ya so if u have a question about what I said, commentt.js
ReplyDeletei never heard about this but president OBAMA released his offical birth cirtificate stating that he was actually born in the USA..... all of the events above were very important this year
ReplyDeleteRY P
I don't know what I'm supposed to write here, it's been pretty crazy this week with all the concerts (go vocal!) Well, umm I know Dec. 7th was the Pearl Harbor anniversary (70th I think), I don't know if anyone already said that. This year I think Micheal Douglas, famous actor, was diagnosed with throat cancer, this just recently happened to the singer Adele too. Lady Gaga is doing some sort of donating thing for children with some kind of problem at Barney's in NY. I also think that they earthqauke in Haiti happened this year (too lazy to actually look it up). I don't watch the news because my dad says its too depressing. Not many people might know this, but the Italian prime minister recently resigned. Amy Winehouse died this year of a drug overdose. There was a hurricane this summer that hit New Jersey and other areas up and down the east coast. The last Harry Potter movie EVER came out this summer and pretty soon they're going to stop selling the movies (cry with me Alanis) :(
ReplyDeleteI don't know what else happened this year but I have a feeling it was important.
Btw Jimmy, what is up with your 4 bookshelf post??
Btw I also remember the earthquake that happened near Jersey. I was at the beach with Angie and Emmalee and we were going to get ice cream, and when we got back everyone was freaking out because they felt the earth shake. But get this, The three of us never got to feel it.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct Ryan about President Obama.
ReplyDelete@ Morgan R.....Vestige pickle? Nothing new. Half of the time I can't figure out what you typed anyway. Ha. Oh, BTW so sorry you had sadness in your family this year. Also, thanks for referencing THE OUTSIDERS.
Have you shared your strong feelings about GOP candidates in social studies class yet? JS
Mrs. Prisbell
@ Jazmine. You must have been posting at the same time I was. I am glad you mentioned Italy's leader. That was big news.
ReplyDeleteBTW the concert was fabulous.
Mrs Prisbell
I remember watching the space shuttle launch when i felt the earthquake. there was so much commotion going on that the phones didnt even work. that was so hectic. i didnt know it was an earthquake until my dads friend called and told him there was one, we thought it was my dod just being crazy.
ReplyDelete@ Blayne... The space shuttle and East Coast earthquake could not have been the same day. I was in different states at the time. Maybe you watched a replay of the shuttle. JS
ReplyDeleteBTW ... I saw a report on the news this morning of the most popular/ most money grossed movies of 2011.
