Where I am From

                                                                           

                   

I am from the house The shoes full of mud I’m from basketball, and football (American) And from heaven I am from the many airplane flights and boat rides I am from myself, YouTube, talking dolls, The Giant Green Bouncy ball, and the rubber bullet guns. I am from The Beatles, Michael Jackson, ACDC and Eric Clapton I am from Ocean 11, 12, 13 (2001), NCIS Mark Harmon, and George Clooney I am from a country with all four season, but still lived in a place with only one I am from the doctors, the cleaners, the Barbie makers, the actors, the singers, and my parents My am from Mr. Muccino, and Mr. Peavy   (inspiring teachers) I am from Superman to Batman I am from Pizza, Five Guys Burgers  Meringue, potato chips, and Root Beer. I am fromt DO YOUR HOMEWORK To GO TO SLEEP TO SHUT THE EFF UP  Sadly, I’m from broken things, funerals, and autopsies I’m from WHERE YOU GOIN to EAT YOUR Dinner I’m from the brainiacs and the jabbermouths From the unseen forces, to the very very visible ones But after all this, no matter what I came from I will always be own unique me.

'In Memory to My Mother' by Sonia Weitz

I think this poem means how Ms. Weitz longs for her very loving mother, and how the day was a very painful day in her life. Ms. Weitz's mother has been taken away from her at the Ghettos. Ms. Weitz treasured the last, and sad memory of her mother. Her mother had told Ms. Weitz to tell the world the truth about the Holocaust. Ms. Weitz promised her mother, but it troubled her because she couldn't find words to describe all the pain there has been, and all the love that kept people keep moving on in life. While reading these poems, many questions bombarded my mind. What did Ms. Weitz's mother give her before she got taken away. Are the things that happened during the Holocaust so horrible that you can even find words to describe what happened? Unfortunately, Ms. Weitz passed away in 2010, June 23. She succeeded in telling the world what happened, and the world lost a good friend.

Nazi Propaganda

This Propaganda poster is 'The Eternal Jews' and was made David Pinsk in the year 1937. This poster advertising a movie that tries to make Aryan Germans believe Jews are bad, and why they should get rid of them.

If you look at the poster, you can see a man with a very funny face expression. He has a very long, black beard and a gigantic nose. He's also has a communist sign tucked underneath his armpit. In his left ( our right), he has a whip, and in his other hand, he has golden coins. The background is yellow, while the man is in shades between black and white.

The golden coins represent that Jews have the money while the Germans are poor, and hungry. The communist sign that's tucked under his left armpit means that the Jewish person is worse because he's a communist, and Hitler hates the communists. The whip in his hand might mean that they are evil, and that they can hurt German people. Also, the Jewish man is black and white, which might mean that the man is dark, and cruel.

Overall, this poster tells German Aryans that Jews are the reason they are in a really bad position, and that they should get rid of them.

Was the Treaty of Versailles- fair or unfair? Justify.

There may be many opinions for this question, but I personally think that the Treaty of Versailles was really unfair. The 5 Victors ( the 5 nations that won the war ) didn't concentrate on preventing another World War, but they were concentrating more on punishing the Germans somehow. This part is really unfair. The fact that the Germans started the war isn't really a fact. I think it's just a point of view. Maybe the Germans were fighting with each other, when another nation got nosy, and decided to find out what the fight was about, and got offended, so jumped in the fight. If this is what happened, I blame all the nations the jumped in the fight. They kept jumping in and created a World War. It's true that war helps earn money because of all the weapons sold, but I think the countries all had their purpose of joining in the war. It's Everybody's fault. Nobody really pulled out of the war, but they kept joining in any fighting.

Overall, I blame ' Hate ' for starting the war, and it's not entirely Germany's fault, but also other countries' fault. Everyone should have all payed the money together because it's EVERYONE'S FAULT!

1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.

My favorite piece of work is my latest Lit Circle. The Giver was the book we read in order to write the latest Lit Circle. The reason why I am most proud of this work is because it's the first time I've gotten an A for Lit Circles. I've set a goal to get an 'A' for Lit Circles since I only got B's. I tried reallly hard every time we had to do a Lit Circle. I'll look at the comments on my previous Lit Circle, and ask friends to read through my work. After all that work, I finally got an A. That's why the latest Lit Circle is my favorite work.

2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.

I'm pretty sure that the greatest challenge this school year was to see my brother, Eric Park moving on. He graduated this year, and it was just too hard to imagining him graduating. I do most of the time fight with my brother, but with all the problems he had in school life, for example, getting bullied, and becoming half deaf, it seemed like a miracle. It was really hard to see my brother in that graduation hat. It just didn't look right.

3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I learned that I could get good grades if I try hard, and some teachers give me a good grade even though my work is bad but knew that I tried really hard. I also learned that teachers don't like hurried work. I did it once and the result wasn't good.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category (and provide explanations):

a) Behavior

Could be improved-

Perfect - the model student

Explanation: I really participate really well in my classes. In math, I eagerly raise my hand to answer questions, but once I had a really bad headache that I couldn't talk much. I volunteer for nearly everything the teachers ask.

b) Participation-

None
Satisfactory
Actively participate in class-
Explanation: I really participate really well in my classes. In math, I eagerly raise my hand to answer questions, but once I had a really bad headache that I couldn't talk much. I volunteer for nearly everything the teachers ask.

c) Organization

Needs serious help
Satisfactory- I am okay at organizing, but I don't recommend opening my locker after PE. My locker's always organized, but some say it's really messy. I am also organized with my work, but sometimes, for humanity, I lost some hard copies of my work, and I got in trouble. I should work on that.

I'm super organized

d) Effort

Needs serious help
Satisfactory- I'm not that bad at effort because I always try my best at almost everything I do. But sometimes for projects like make a poster and things, I sometime go above and beyond by making my work unique.

I always go above and beyond what is required.


5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to try and get grades above B- all the time. By setting this goal, I'm sure that I could lift my grades and soon my goal will be to get grades higher than A-.


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to try to make new friends and make new students welcome. I know that this is important because being new in a new school isn't easy, and getting new friends will make me and my new friends happy.


6. Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know? I don't have any more information the teachers would like to know.


7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it? I liked the Mafatu book TIC TAC TOE project because I got to meet a good friend, and I got to build a mini island using clay. We also got to make a movie commercial. Mrs. Reiser thought it was great.


8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?
I'm not sure about that, because we had the right amount of time to finish each activity,

9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
I have two things to say. Don't ever hurry your work because at the end, the result isn't pretty, and the last thing is that keep organized and always have a new pair of uniforms in your locker just in case there's a water balloon fight.
Enjoy,
Mr. Fischer
in collaboration with Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Narsiman

1. The title of this book is 'The Lion'.

2. This book is written by Nelson DeMille

3. This book made me think about terroists, Osama Bin Laden, and the twin towers incident.

4. This book is probably a college level book. There aren't any hard words, but there are swear words. That's the bad part.

5. The bad part is that it is quite disgusting. It's violent. When the "LION" beheads a pilot, it's very descriptive. If you are very sensitive to violent things, you shouldn't read this book.

A little summary: This book is about a CIA cop who survived the twin towers incident. He was inside the twin towers. He also met this terroist, and the terroist ran away. Now, the terrroist is looking for the cop, trying to kill him.

Book: The Lion, by Nelson DeMille.

My iMovie Reflection

In humanities class, we made iMovies about a pharaoh in ancient egypt. My partner was Micah. We chose King Tut. King Tut is the youngest pharaoh in egypt. We chose him because he was young, his tomb wasn't robbed by tomb robbers and his death was a mystery. We also chose him because his parents were not known. He was found in the streets. He was a slave, but Nefertiti chose him be the next pharaoh at the age of 9. In this blog post, I will tell you if I followed the rubric.

I'm pretty sure that the information is correct, unless the recourses we used had wrong information. We included the time period our pharaoh ruled in. In my opinion, I think our information was clear about the contributions made by king tut. King Tut made no contributions to Egypt. Also, King Tut built no buildings, so we had to explain why. I have to admit, it was tough... So far, I think we followed the rubric well for the content.

I think we could have added more pictures, but the pictures for king tut were similar so it was very hard to find different pictures. I think we should get a good grade for thins because we tried hard and spent two classes looking for pictures, but couldn't find a lot. There were a lot of pictures of his tomb, but they were similar so there's no point putting in two pictures of the same thing. Our voices were clear, but we had a few weird background noises for some reason. Also, while we were recording, we stumbled on some words. So I think we should get a normal grade for that part. We used some effects. We made the pictures zoom in and things. We put some transitions for the pictures. So overall, I think we should get a 4 on this part.

Overall, I think I should get a good grade because we tried our best, and we included everything in the rubric, we all the information we can possibly get. At least we tried our very best. We did some research at home, and put it in google docs. My partner and I worked well together.
