What would you change about the final product of your wiki if you were to dod te assignment all over again?
I think all our info was there, but maybe the wiki’s dsign didn’t look so good, kinda scattered around all over the place, pictures, words. Not too messy, but needs improving.
and secondly…
what I liked about other people’s wikis.
I liked Block E’s Zimbabwe kingdom. They probably researched a LOT until they burst. There was a lot of information, sources, and all sorted out neatly. Good job!

What is the issue?
Although it was long time ago when the price of poultry went down, and lots of people got sick because of H5N1 bird flu, another case of the same disease has popped into our minds. In Turkey, some 160,000 poultry animals were gotten rid of after outbreaks of the H5N1 bird flu came about. In some places in the world, poultry prices are being slashed 50%. The Food Standards Agency said that it may enter the food chain, and the whole process might happen all over again.
Who is involved?
The Food Standards Agency; they are warning us, try to stay away from poultry. And in this case, we are also involved because we could be eating an infected chicken.
Who is affected and how?
The chickens because they are going bye-bye one by one. We are also affected because chicken is not going to be all that safe to eat anymore and we’ll just have to turn to alternatives foods instead.

What would I do if I were directly involved?
I will warn everyone to be careful… maybe chicken chop (with gravy) isn’t that nice. Even though the case is still small, and not very many people have died from it, it’s spreading very quick. Soon, the disease will start to affect us of what we are eating. So hopely, it won’t happen.
How does this affect the world?
Obviously, this is still only one country who is discovering bird flu, but boy, can it spread quick. Soon, a lot of the countries will be in risk of this disease. Eventually, it will go away, but not for a long, long time.

Homework for All Blocks Feb
These few weeks, we have been working on our wikis, posting on info we found about different African empires (we did Zimbabwe). Here are the reflection questions.
1. What did you learn from this task?
I learned a lot about what they used to do in ancient times inside Africa, without the use of things we use to make life easier, like the telephone. It was hard to gather infomation about zimbabwe, espeically when all of that info on the net is current. Stressful as it could be, I made it through.
2. Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?
Can I say both easy and hard? Gathering information was such a pain! Not many people write about what info we needed. Ancient stuff. People nowadays like to have very current info. Like the population of Zimbabwe was not even over a million years ago. But on the easy side, creating a wiki was piece of cake. It’s fun working with computers.
3. What would you change during the process of the wiki if you were to do this assignment again?
Not much. I think I did pretty well. I am satisfied. Maybe I should’ve looked inside more sources along the way, to find more info, but that was hard. Anyway, all the little tweaks don’t matter to me that much. The site may look a little plain. But all the info is there, that’s the main thing.
