worst week day of the week

   Today we went over a power point which was about ethnicities which you brought up a point about how people used to fight over the way peoples ears were shaped which angered some people. But then we got to the point and started talking about two different ethnic groups called the Hutus and the Tutsis . The Hutus are dominant in one and they persecute the Tutsis. The Tutsis are dominant in the other- they prosecute the Hutus. This had led to almost constant war between the groups. A religion can be both a unifying and disunifying force. Then we talked about religion and all that then we were about done.

Religions

  Islam was founded in the early 600's and it was formed as a monotheistic religion. Islams do have have a holy book and its called the Islamic Holy. The religion of Islam was recently recorded as having 53 million followers. The central figure of the religion Islam is Muhammad which is the person that preached about Islam and their beliefs.

Today in class we went on and presented all of our groups presentations and the Vikings went first. Then the Native Americans and i'm pretty sure everyone understood that they arrived in America 12000 to 17000 years ago which they added that to almost every single one of there presentations. Next my group went and Evan and Matt wouldnt stop talking while you were so I threw something from my pocket at them. Which was really funny. I believe that our presentation was the best...

test on friday

Today in class we took a test which should have been really easy which it wasn't that easy to me because I  wasn't taking my notes correctly and forgot to study. If I would have put my notes in my blog like you told us to then it would be way easier so I will be sure to do that the next time we have a test because everyone should have gotten a 100% on that test. It was still pretty easy even though i didn't do things correctly like I needed to.schickhumangeo.blogspot.com

wednesday


Today in class we were still working on the computer thing and putting up sources. Then you were telling us that we needed to get rid of some of the less important sources and also talk about the ones that were the best in our mind. Next we went on panthers page to help save Sudanese kids which we thought it would be awesome to get panther to come to our school and talk to us about his idea and his past and what he thought of everything that happened when he was in Sudan. Therefore todays class was mainly talking about the best things we could do to help the kids in Sudan and adults.shickhumangeo.blogspot.com

tuesday

Today in class we were on our computers trying to find out sources that we could use to help out the little children and adults in Sudan. Then you set up something that we can all type on and it didnt work out because almost everyone was being immature and doing stuff that we shouldnt and then you told us that John Bou Dau got back to you but I forgot what you told us he said... Then we re did the thing on the computer and we did it way better that time then we did the first time. Finally we left because the bell rang which really stunk.schickhumangeo.blogspot.com

Monday


Today in class we watched the rest of the movie called God Grew Tired of Us. Then we saw how each and every one of the three people we followed did. Panther gets married and opens a school in Sudan and gets his bachelor’s degree, Then John tries to support all the Sudanese people by telling our government and forms a medical clinic in Sudan, and then we find out that Daniel can’t find any family and is in school right now. I thought that the movie was very cool and I believe that our school or just the freshman class should do something to help all the Sudanese people recover from what they have gone through. Also I think that we should send water bottles and canned food to the Sudanese kids to help gain some weight. I thought the movie was very sad and depressing and someone should make a change. Next I think we should get John Bou Dah to come to our school so he can talk to us about his experiences. Therefore I think we should be the ones to make a change and show that anyone can make a change.
