Children Who Kill !
On Feb 26 a 6 year old boy shot and killed classmate Kayla Rolland at their elementary school in Flint, Michigan.
At the very beginning the son of Derrick Owens, had little or no chance because of the environment he was raised in. Derrick Owens, father of the little boy was sent to jail only when his son was 2 years old. He said that his son was built up of a lot of anger and he says his absence may be the cause of that. The boy grew up in a family that survived on selling crack. After his mother got evicted from her house she sent the boys to their uncles house where he also sold crack. This chaotic environment had a toll on these boys and promoted the idea that having a gun meant that you were powerful and that you were the man. The gun he shot Kayla Rolland with was an unlicensed gun given to the family as a payment for drugs. The little boy was previously suspended and no one thought much of it. It was said that the day before he shot Kayla Rolland they go engaged in a heated arguement.
I personally think, that this is a very sad issue. We can't do much to help children who are born and raised in these types on environments. Its not their fault their not getting the love and care they need at such a young age. Also, I think the parents are also to blame for not paying attention to their son and his well being.

- Cheating with some teams
- Unorganized
- Teams went crazy for food
- Questions were not related to right category
- Slides were linked up wrongly
2)Whose presentation did you like the best - please explain in a paragraph why.?
I honestly liked everyone's. Everyone brought there own personal style in designing their jeopardy game which appealed to me very much. Even though many of the questions were similar I liked the idea of final jeopardy because each team got to make their own questions. This threw some teams of while other who were behind won the game.
3)Which Group asked the toughest questions in your opinion?
I think Alexa's group asked the toughest questions. Even though the questions were challenging I thought this brought fairness to the game which made if more challenging.
4)What would you change in your presentation if you had a chance to do it again.? why? please explain in paragraph form.
If I had another chance to do this presentation again I would change the questions I chose. I think if I gave more detailed and specific questions it would be easier for the other teams to come up with the correct answer.

My favorite prize was Joe and Olivia's Tasty Sub. I thought this was a great prize because I love Sub sandwiches
