OH MY GOODNESS! This particular article was a painful read. The author does give good advice on how to grade a conversation. You want the students to be able to articulate what they know on the subject in a scholary way.

Reaction Post Katrina

I feel that what happen in New Orleans was a terrible situation. But along as they move on to fix the city than its a problem they can be fix. New Orleans is on its way to be reastablished to its self. As long as another hurricane dont hit they should be find until they finishing building the levees. To me the first walls they built don't even need to be called more then walls because it couldn't probably hold a level 1 back. New Orleans is searching for there answer to they problems because they still a long way off from being fixed. I really don't care who fault it is that the city was destroyed. I care about how they going to fix itand what they doing to bring the citzens back. But my greatest feeling is that if this ever happen to any other city or even to this one again they be prepared to react the situation. When this kind of tregedy happen protocal should be disminish for a short time just to help people.

What if New Orleans Never Recover from This Terrible Situation.


If New Orleans never recover from this it is the death of one of the nation oldest and most cultural diverse cities. New Orleans is one of our nation proudest cities because of there many roots from indians, slaves, to the french they are a city that can't be replace. From the home of the blues to the mardi gras fesival New Orleans is a city that we pride ourselves upon. Even with its many flaws it can't be copied or replicated the spirit is just one of it own. It's our jobs as americans to help out our fellow americans in there time of need because I know I would want hlp in mine.

There are many promblems that is hindering the city from returning to itself or even bettering it. Lack of funds for projects such as for clean up and demolition. The spreading out of the New Orleans citizens all across america. Until we figure out these problems and the many more New Orleans going to be a shell of itself. So to make sure we can save and improve this city we need to take a look as ourselves as a country and start the rebuilding right there.
