Weekly Blog 05/29/15

Surprise:
Context: I was surprised when I was reading an article about what killed the dinosaurs.
What: I was surprised when I found out that climate change and cannibalism killed the dinosaurs along with the asteroid.
Why: This is surprising because I only thought that the asteroid killed all the dinosaurs
Tells: This tells me that I should look for more ways on how a certain thing happened before I jump to answers.

Summary:
Cameron Keady in the article, "What Killed The Dinosaurs?"  analyzes the other events that happened that caused the dinosaurs to die out

Citation:
Keady, Cameron. "News." What Killed the Dinosaurs? Cameron Keady, 30 July 2014. Web. 26 May 2015. <http://www.timeforkids.com/news/what-killed-dinosaurs/167841>.

Backward-Looking:
I knew that the dinosaurs died because of an asteroid long time ago. What I know now is that cannibalism and climate change helped make dinosaurs extinct along with the asteroid.

Inward-Looking:
My choice of this article reveals me as someone who is interested in how some certain things happened, like how dinosaurs became extinct.

Outward-Looking:
This article affects the community because it informs them that the asteroid wasn't the only event that happened that caused the dinosaurs to die out.

Forward Looking:
One question I have for the article is if there are more events that caused the dinosaurs to die out. To answer myself, I would say that there are more events, but it hasn't been discovered or mentioned in the article.
