Cats Facts

Cats Facts

Cats come in many different kinds of breed (like dogs) like Siamese, ragdoll, calico, tabby, etc. 

There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with approximately 40 recognized breeds. 
The domesticated cat is a small and furry animal that have quick reflexes, and have sharp retractable claws. They're bodies are flexible and strong, and can twist in almost any direction. They're legs are very strong and can jump 5 times it own height. Cats have excellent night vision and can see at only one-sixth the light level required for human vision. They also have excellent hearing and can hear sounds that dogs and humans can't hear.

On average, cats spend 2/3 of every day sleeping. That means a nine-year-old cat has been awake for only three years of its life. One reason why kittens sleep so much is because a growth hormone is released only when they are asleep.

Back in Egypt long time ago, and still now; cats were keep as pets. There are some cats that are indoor cats when they like to stay inside the house instead of outside and other cats that are outdoor cats when they like to stay outside in the fresh and come back for food or sometimes rest on the couch.

In the past a man named Mohammed loved cats and reportedly his favorite cat, Muezza, was a tabby. Legend says that tabby cats have an “M” for Mohammed on top of their heads because Mohammad would often rest his hand on the cat’s head.

People sometimes think a cat can go down a tree head first but a cat can’t climb head first down a tree because every claw on a cat’s paw points the same way. To get down from a tree, a cat must back down.

You are probably wondering "What are mangas?" when others ask right? Well mangas are Japanese comics and they're similar to the American comic book but the book is backwards and the art is different like with details and how its drawn.  The word "Manga" is a Japanese word that refers to both comics and cartoons. Mangas come in many different genres like comedy, sports, horror, romance, action, fantasy, mystery, etc. Mangas can also be made in China(mostly in Hong Kong) called "manhua", South Korea called "manhwa", and Taiwan called "manhua" like in China. Kids have said that it fun to read mangas because it has action and comedy and thats what makes it so good. Kids tend to read it often like everyday, twice a week, or whenever he/she has time. Recently, the manga industry has expanded worldwide. That's where distribution companies license and re-print mangas into their native languages. But most of the time they translate it into English because it more poplular in America. Between the 1950's and 1960's, the first manga made, was created by Osamu Tezuka. He is the created of  "Astor Boy" and some other mangas. He continue to make mangas with other manga artists to entertain all ages. Even till now, Mangas are very popular in Japan, America and other places.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Success at the Dance 

On Friday from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m., September 28. Taylor Middle School's back to school dance in the auditorium was hosted by the leadership class. Leadership had the dance because they want the students to have fun and enjoy their school life. 125 pre-sale tickets were sold before the dance, while almost 150 tickets were sold at the door. There was delicious pizza, water and Capri Sun sold there for 50 cents each. There was awesome music brought by DJ High Top. The TMS students came to hang out with  their friends or was asked out by someone else. Some students came to eat the pizza and others came to dance and listen to the music. There were many couples and groups slow dancing, but many people also danced by themselves. During the last 10 minutes of the dance, DJ High Top had a contest to see who were good at dancing to come up on stage and dance to Gangnam Style. Right before the dance ended, DJ High Top announced that Dr. Martin and Dr. Toy called in first to book him before any other schools did.

interview

An interview is when one person questions or consults with another person.

The difference between a journalism interview and a job interview is that you have to tell your name in a job interview but you don't don't have to mention their name in a journalism interview if the person said to not say their name. You can use the info that you got for that person you interviewed but not mention their name.

When you are getting ready to interview you have to have good question to ask. Like you can ask, "Tell me about ___________." , " How do you know about ___________." , "How do you _______." ,or, " is there anything I haven't asked yet _________."

You have to remember that you must you must be the interviewer and find the interviewee and and not to mention the interviewee's name.

When your done with the interview, you gather and record your information like quotes.

Media Release

Media release is something newsworthy that reporters can report on. We use it to help us find news to report on so other will know it.

An example can be like there is a big chess game at a curtain place and time. But the people don't know about this event. So the people who hosted the game, would send out a note to the reporting company. Then the company will send out some reporters to ask questions about the chess game. Then they go back and there, They made an advertisement for the chess game.

We can use the media release to get the news out the the TMS students.

inverted pyramid structure

What is Inverted pyramid structure? Well, inverted pyramid is a way to present the leading story. You write the important things first to tell the reader what its' about (just in case the reader doesn't want to read the whole thing) then you can  work down using supporting details to the least important information.

If i were to say an example about a animals' habitat was going to be destroyed for mine oil, i would put that at the begining. Then say when and the place it happening at. If the leader of the mining process allowed you to tell their name, then tell the readers the name of the person who is in charge of the mining. Their reason of mining can be because there is a two year supply of oil under the animal's land. Or there is a SUPER big deposit of oil down there. These reasons can be added to the first paragraph.  The reader that is least interested usually stops here. At least the reader got the most important information. Then you move down to the second paragraph,  this is where the less important info is. Like it tells you how the process will work. The less but, interested reader would stop here. The third paragraph is where the least important info is found. This part shows the least interesting information. The third paragraph sometimes get cut off or stays and the most interested reader would finish.

The inverted pyramid is sample, your write the most important at the top then work down to the sample details. But these small details could be cut off. I will try to use the inverted pyramid structure to help me write a good article.
