America I Am

The title "America I am" means that African Americans are a huge part of the Nation's development. Also Blacks played an important part in America's history. For example, colored people created the NAACP which mean National Advanced Association of Colored People, it successfully campaign African Americans. Another example is Dr. Martin Luther King and how he change the minds of some black people that were being mistreated by white's. One of the most important examples is the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment helped blacks to be free and have the right to vote, they also got the chance to leave their slave owners.

Tuskegee Airmen

There are three things that we can learn from the Tuskegee Airmen. We have to stay in school to get an education. We can also learn that in being a pilot you have to have skills  and lots of discipline. The Tuskegee Airmen were a brave group of African Americans who never missed a target during battle. Even though they lost a few men they were still able to hang on and never gave up. Another lesson is to never quit.

Tuskegee Airmen Blog

          A lesson we can learn from the Tuskegee Airmen is that race has nothing to do with any one's talent or ability. For example, The Tuskegee Airmen flew more than 200 missions without losing a bomber in war. Another lesson learn from the Tuskegee Airmen is that you should never give in. I say this Because some of the Tuskegee Airmen walked away or died in training but a few remained and became successful. One last lesson I learned from the Airmen is that no one's intelligence can be determined by appearance. For example the Tuskegee Airmen had to take the Tuskegee Airmen Project test over again because of the suspicion that they have cheated on the first one. When all of the Airmen finished none of them scored lower than 95%. Those are the three lessons I learned from the Tuskegee Airmen.

mock hearing

Mr. Justin for the education department came and judged our opinion and facts on the Constitution during the Mock Hearing . I don't think our group did too well and so we didn't make it to city wide. One good thing we did was listing the powers of the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of government correctly. We didn't have key facts, and not all of  our members stated their opinions besides the essay. I believe Mr. Justin was very nice and he did not go hard on us during the Hearing. I thought the Mock Hearing was an very good assignment because It helps us learn how to state our beliefs in court (or something).

The Mock Hearing

During the mock hearing a man named Mr. Justin for thew education department came an judged us as we state our opinion and facts on the Constitution. I think that our group did o.k. even though we didn't make it to city wide. Mr. Justin said that we did a good but we didn't have key facts, I think that we did great but it maybe didn't sound right to Mr. Justin we were talking about the Constitution. I think that this experience was good for us to see what we learned. our group did a pretty good job in listing the jobs of the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of government. this was a great feeling because I think that we are going to be doing this in high school as well.

Where The Hell Is Matt

The video\activity that we did in class was called "Where In The World is Matt".  The video was about a man named Matt who dance in many different places in the world. Some of the places that he dance in were Japan, Mexico, Iceland, Australia, etc. I think we were shown the video because it showed us many different countries, cities all around the world. As we watch the video we wrote down as many places as we could. the one that we think was interesting to us was the one in Norway, on top of a rock, that was very high up, it would be funny if he fell down and served. what I learned from this video is the difference and the similarity of random place all over the world.

alice paul

Ms. Crum  came in our class on Friday and was talking about how Alice Paul was her roll model. She came on October 20th, in history class. Two new facts that I learned about her is that she dedicated her life for women to have the same rights as men did, she didn't give, and she had other people by her side. Before women could vote they had to stay at there homes while the men went to war and worked in factories, women couldn't go to war, and the women were going through suffrage. I think that Alice Paul will be a good name not only for our but for every class because what she did was heroic, brave, smart, and awesome. What she did for women was a real nice thing because she didn't have to do it. I think that the Sewall-Belmont house looked pretty much in good shape but we couldn't go in, that was were Alice Paul lived.
