Netbook Reflection

Having a netbook has helped me to get my work done faster. I don’t to wait for my teacher to tell me what to do. I can just go on our class site and see what I need to do. I have had my Netbook for 3 years and it has always been useful.

I advise having a Netbook could probably help anyone with their learning. It has definitely helped me with my Reading and Writing. I personally think that my netbook has helped to build up my vocabulary.

My Netbook is useful in lots of different ways. For example if I am unsure about something, I can research online to confirm my answer. Last term my friends and I researched about world war 2, and we made a documentary about it.

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela, a famous man known all around the world. He has recently died at the age of 95. Nelson Mandela used to be the President for South Africa, from 1994 to 1999. It was a big shock to find out that this famous man had died. He stopped racism, poverty and inequality in his country (South Africa). Before Nelson Mandela became President he served 27 years in prison, for encouraging black South Africans to go on strike and for illegally leaving South Africa.


Nelson Mandela stood out to others so much that he won the following awards. 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Soviet Order of Lenin and the Bharat Ratna.
