Blog Portfolio Preface/Introduction

On this page you will be able to understand a little more about child mortality rates. Through my research I have discovered information that I feel is beneficial to me and to others. My first local paper describes the issues of child death in the United States. My personal pieces of writing include a haiku about child death and a PowerPoint with interesting statistics. The brochure gives a brief summary of certain issues and who you can contact to help. My visual elements are included in the local & global essay. My interviews and letters of inquiry include helpful opinions about child mortality rates. I also have included a film essay which discusses a young boy who dies of AIDS. Lastly, my global essay explains causes and solutions to child mortality.

  1. Jennifer,
    Upon looking at everyone else's blogs I have realized that many of us did research on different aspects of children and how children are affected in today's society across the world. I have really enjoyed your blog on child mortality rates, and I agree they are too high. Children are innocent, they do not know any better and often times they suffer the most. It is hear-wrenching to see the mortality rates of children, especially in other countries.. like in Sierra Leone where almost 1 out of every 5 children die. It is sad, really. Nice job on your research, I think you have a very well rounded and put together blog!
