     Have you ever wondered what events occurred during Charles Darwin's five year voyage on the "Beagle"?In this blog, I will be explaining what Darwin saw and discovered on his long five year voyage. In September, about the year 1835, Charles Darwin rode his ship named the "Beagle" around the world. In his journey, he came across the most fascinating animals and sceneries  He was amazed. He kept a journal and wrote about his journey. He traveled to places like: Cape Verde, Rio de Janeiro, Australia and a lot of other places. He believed that there was a connection between the animal group and the humans. When Darwin went on his voyages, he described everything he saw on his journey, onto his journal. He described the scenery of mountains, summits, and how the weather was. In October of 1836, he returned to were he started, England. He brought back all kinds of things with him, including the dead species of animals and insects. The animal, insects, and bones were later on displayed in a museum. 

     Charles Darwin really made a huge impact in the world. He helped us understand how new species of animals formed and how the world can change in a blink of an eye. I hope that you have learned more about Charles Darwin than you have did before. Now the world knows more about finding species and other types of wild animals in the world.

     Today is Free Write Friday. In this blog, I will be telling you about how important it is to study. It is very important to study for test, even if you are positive that you will pass it. It is also very important, beause you want to get the best grade that you can possibly get when you take your test. Here is an example, today I had two tests, one was for math an the other was a history test. I studied and really soaked in some information about these two test. When I took the test, I felt very good about them, because I had studied. Well, when I took my math test, and gave it to my teacher to grade it, my score was excellent. My history test is not yet graded, but I know I will get a great grade. If you study, you feel very confident about your test, instead of worrying about it. Another good test taking strategy is to practice the night before and in the morning once more. Never give up. It is good to study and fail, then to fail and not study at all, because you knew that you tried.

   I hope that you can study and learn a lot, than to not study and fail. The point that I am trying to make is that studying takes you far. It will help you exceed in life. If you try and do your best than you will be proud of yourself, because you have studied.

     Today is Free Write Friday. Have you ever heard of Make Beliefs Comics? Make Beliefs Comics is a website where you get to make your own comics. This is a great site to use if you are interested in making comics or comic books. It offers a variety of things you can use to make your own comic. They offer characters you can use,backgrounds for your comic, and much more. I really like this website, because instead of drawing my own comics and messing up and having to redo it again, I can just make it on here, and if I make a mistake all I have to do is delete it. Another thing I like about the website Make Beliefs Comics is that it gives you the option to e-mail it to yourself or to other people. I like this because if  I am very satisfied with the way it turned out, I can send it to people I know, so they can see how funny or silly my comic is. This website offers you the choice of to print your comic as well/

   Many of you are probably wondering how I knew this website. To answer the question, in my history class we have to write a dialogue about the fight between Pope Gregory and King Henry, and put it into a comic. One of the options was this website and some other comic websites. I hope that you now know a good website for making comic strips. Click here to go to the website!
