WWII

WWII in Europe

This is an article about WWII, I hope you enjoy it.

War began in Europe, when Germany invaded Poland with a new
kind of attack: blitzkrieg, which means lightning war in German.
They first bombed the target and then stormed with infantry and
newly developed Panzer tanks.

                                           ↙

                         

At first the Allies didn’t do anything, but after a while they got worried and
they did this:

Hitler: I want that. (points to Poland)  

Allies: Okay, you can have that but NO MORE.

Hitler: I want that. (points to Czechoslovakia) …..and repeat.

Then, after invading outer Czechoslovakia, the Allies made Hitler sign
a document saying that he DEFINITELY would not invade the rest
of Czechoslovakia, he was like, “O.K dudes, no biggie.” ….AND, then
everyone went home and partied because they thought eternal world
peace had been established but then some party pooper came along
and said, “hey, Hitler just invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia.” And then
everyone kicked him out of the party and got worried. Okay, maybe
not exactly like that but you get the idea.

Also, the world started teaming up into 3 sections, the Allied powers,
the Axis powers and neutral countries.

The main Axis powers were Germany, Italy and Japan. The main
Allied powers were France, England, Russia/U.S.S.R and the United
States. This is a graph that I made that shows the different sides during world war 2.

The war started on September 1, 1939 and ended on
September 2, 1945. There were roughly 50 to 80 million deaths.
I think that’s astounding, how about you?

  Stopped by the block

    

On Friday, September 7th, Glenridge Elementary, Mrs.Barnes’ fifth grade class faced a horrible disease: writer’s block. This disease can be caused by a lack of ideas, distractions and worst of all, extreme boredom.

Symptoms of writer’s block may include fidgeting, side conversations, staring off into space and playing with miscellaneous items. The cure? Thoughts, ideas, connections, events, excitement! Anything that gets the brain moving! As long as the ideas are coming, you’ll be able to write.

I’m literally thinking about writer’s block right now, but I can’t think of anything, you can’t think of something when there’s nothing to think about”, said 5B student Luke Condrin, who experienced writers block first hand. “It depends on the situation, it could take days, a week”, said Yoanna Choi when asked about how long it could take to come up with fresh ideas, another victim of writer’s block.

While this  outbreak might have passed,but it doesn't mean writer’s block is gone forever. To avoid writer’s block yourself, here is a list of strategies from some that witnessed and even experienced writer’s block. “Think of things you’ve observed”, said 5B student Wayne Yue, who witnessed writer’s block. Another student, Aalaa Mahmoud, who had had writer’s block, said to, “notice small details”, in order to avoid writer’s block. Teachers are also taking action to fight back against writer’s block with two new tools: the graphic organizer and inverted pyramid. The graphic organizer is a paper with the the 5 w’s and 1 h, who, what, when, where, why and how. It also has the three parts of an article so you can decide what to write in those sections. The inverted pyramid, is also somewhat similar but instead only has the three sections inside an upside-down triangle with a brief explanation of what you’re supposed to put in each section. While both are slightly different, they both make great tools to help avoid writer’s block. These tools are definitely going to have an impact on writers block.
