CBL project

For my CBL project overview

This essay will tell you about endangered mammals of the state of Nebraska. 

(Explain project)

Thesis: In English class we are investigating current issues and hope to use our writing to make a change in the world. 

We are using Challenge Base Learning to teach others about the dangers of the increasing number of mammals near extinction in the state of Nebraska.

(Big Idea) The big idea of this project is to tell people the increasing number of mammals in Nebraska that are extinct or near extinction.

(EQ) The essential question we are asking is how can we help raise awareness about this in the state of Nebraska.

(Challenge) Our challenge is to tell people of the number of mammals loosing their home to city expansion and then later on becoming extinct.

(Why it’s important) This is important to Nebraska and other states because this is starting to become a bigger issue as the years go by. As the towns and city’s get bigger the more habitat is destroyed and the more animal that don’t have any homes and when they don’t have homes they become near extinction.

(Goals/hopes/what will happen) Our goals/hopes/and what will happen are that we can spread awareness and we think that will be the hardest part. We are exited about the getting to research this issue that growing everyday. Our ideas for the solution are if we raise awareness maybe it will change.

As the moon lighted the camp ground and as the fire made roasting marsh mellows fun.  All of the sudden a stick crack a rustling of the leaves made everyone just a little bit scared as the sound got closer and closer the pace picked up and dad said hi how are you today kid.

55 word story

As the moon lighted the camp ground and as the fire made roasting marsh mellows fun.  All of the sudden a stick crack a rustling of the leaves made everyone just a little bit scared as the sound got closer and closer the pace picked up and dad said hi.

One day during deer season my brother, dad and I were out in the cold, windy land in the middle of nowhere. We were just sitting there waiting for anything to move. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a deer hop out from behind the tree and sprint towards the next set of cedar trees, but all of a sudden it stopped and turned the other direction. I put the cross hairs on the deer, but I couldn’t see if it was a doe or buck, so I pulled of a shot off and missed just above it. I shot again and missed. Now I was down to two shots, so I had to use them wisely, but by then the deer ran off and I couldn’t spot him in the scope. I walked the fence and I spotted it behind a tree I got him in the scope and shot and hit her.  As I got there I realized it was a doe and it was small but it looked big in the scope. So I looked at the scope and I realized my brother had put it on 12 powers. After I shot it the hard part came, getting it to the pick –up.  When I found my dad we dragged it through a creek, up and then down a hill and then had to drag up to the pick up and throw it in there.                                                                                                                                     Once we get to the pick up we gutted it and we then went off to the butcher to get it made into deer stick. It was first deer and I was kind of embarrassed because everyone else got a buck and I got a little gimpy doe.  From this experience I learned that patience is everything.  This is important to me because this was the first time I got to hunting with my dad.
