AOW Impression Blog

            This AOW gallery walk allowed us to learn about things that are going on around the world right now. I have learned many things that I didn't know before, and because of this I do know now. I think that this activity was really helpful, because it opened our eyes to see what is currently happening in the world. I think not just me, but a lot of people learned a lot of new things during this activity. Also this was important for us to do, because a lot of us, sometimes, don't have the time to do this at home. Some things I learned from the gallery walk was the earthquake in Nepal, and the riots in Baltimore.

            During the gallery walk I learned a lot about the earthquake in Nepal. I saw more than one person do this article, so I thought that this must be very important. What I learned from this is that about eight million people were affected by this earthquake. I also learned that over 7,000 people died! A lot of people are still missing. Many of those missing people are foreigners. 1.4 million people were injured.

            The article I had and lot of other people had was on the riots in Baltimore. What I read that started this is that a man died in police custody from a spinal cored injury. Then many people became mad at the police and stared to looting and rioting. What I learned from this is that many people are looting and setting cars and buildings on fire. I also learned that many people got arrested and injured. I think that the riots are just making everything worse. People are getting hurt because of this. I read that many of the rioters threw rocks and bricks at police officers. Many people were arrested, and more than a dozen police officers were injured.
