The story that we covered was called the Minotaur, which comes from Greek mythology. The Minotaur is a person who has a bull’s head but a person’s body. In this story, a person named Minos was supposed to give his best bull to the Greek god Poseiden. One year Minos had fell in love with his best bull and didn’t want to give it up to Poseiden, so Minos gave Poseiden another bull.

A singer named Katy Perry had a new song out called Roar that younger generations were constantly listening to, and singing non stop as it sky rocketed up the music billboards. Katy eventually told the actually meaning of the story, which was to basically be nice to others, and to be confident in yourself. What Katy did was challenge schools to make a video to her new song.

I think that with the improvements in technology we are making the world a safer place, were finding out more about the world like global warming.
