The Washington Gazette
President Thomas Jefferson has bought a vast piece of land (900,000 miles) from the French, spending $15,000,000! Is this unconstitutional? Government officials say that according the constitution the country should have the opinions of the representatives of the states. It is thought that the decision should have also included the legislative branch because they are supposed to be in charge of the countries finances. Being unexplored land it is also unknown what the dangers and inhabitants of the land are. Is fertile? Is it deadly? As citizens, what do you think?
Thomas Jefferson has also chosen two men, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, to go on an expedition throughout the new land and discover what lies in the uncharted western land. Jefferson also hopes to find some form of water going across the US. Will Lewis and Clark be successful on their journey? It is expected they will not survive, but if they do, then the fertility or fatality of the land shall be discovered!

Reflection:
It was easy for me to write a news article about what was happening at the time. It was also a lot of fun. I am now also more comfortable with writing news and I understand it better. I got more of a feel for what was happening at the time after writing the news article I think, because I had to think as a reporter at that time would so it also gave me a better understanding of what people were thinking.

Tessa, alittle more information in this post and break paragraphs up by adding a space.
Also Washington is spelled wrong... don't forget to proofread.
On the title part of the blog, your print is a little hard to read, please either bold the letters so it is easier, or change the color. I do like the fact that you have an objective at the top for your readers to understand your purpose.
