Branded Summary #1

Hello branded readers (Matt M., Qavi, Jeffrey, Shahad, Aaisha, Amrita)
I thought the we are having a very good dicussen and I hope our next one is good too!!

Well Matt started off saying that he thought that maybe they are 16 or 17 and they are aware of the world and he thinks that they are a legal age to drive and thinks that they are not in elementary school because most kids very aware of the world.
Then Jeffery secondly said that he doesn't agree with Matt and thinks that it might be Julia's mom's or dad's car .
Then Shahad said that maybe they aren't old enough to drive so maybe there between the age
of 15-18 and he said that he agrees with Jeffery and Matt.
Finally, I ended saying that I disagree with Matt and how I think they are in grade.8 or grade.9 and how they are mostly focused on getting rid of uniforms and not really focusing on things going on around the world and how maybe Julia has a brother or sister that we haven't been introduced to yet in the book.

Blog #9 If I had a $100 :)

Hello Bloggers:)
In this blog we had to pick between 4 charity's and I picked
http://www.oxfam.ca/.
We had a few questions to answer and the first question was why did you choose this organization and why is because it gives more options and it had 14 other organizations working together in 99 other countries and they believe that "Respect for human rights will help lift people of poverty .

We had to but ethical gift with the $100 Ms.Crosbie gave us. (theoretically).

Another question was what were the gift we chose why we chose them and how much were they?
The first gift I chose was a hygiene kit the price was $22 . The reason I chose this was because everybody should have chance to have hygiene even if they are poor.
Another gift I have bought was to put 8 gifts in a school and the reason why I chose this because kids should be able to read and write because kids our age that live in poor barely know how to read or write and I think that they should have chance to learn too and this package was $22.
My 3rd gift I am giving is a 9 bags of seeds to plant fruits and vegetables and bushes and they can learn how to garden for in the future. This gift costs $30.

My 4th and 5th are from http://plancanada.ca/.the first gift is a soft baby blanket and the reason why I chose this gift is because when a baby is born it should be held with a soft and warm blanket and this gift was $10. The other gift from plan Canada a Mango tree and reason why I chose this gift is because it will provide juice from the mango and food and it will be healthy for them and it costs $13.

I disturbed my 100 dollars by looking at all the gifts and picking which ones would be useful and lasting the longest.

Thanks for reading:)
