final wave post :]

1. I think the quote meant that dont let someone treat you wrong just because their not apart of your group or arent the same as you. I also think it means that if someone who was so called your friend stops talking to you cuz' you dont join them in a group or something, then they arent your true friend.


I believe in 3rd grade me and my friend Deja werent talking because i didnt want to do something she told me so she started a group called the anti-kezia club. before people knew the name or the fact you had to ignore me deja had struggled them in. Well i was soon alone so i told our subsitute teacher becuase our orginal teacher was on pregnancy leave. and soon enough she solved the whole sharrad and it was all over. But it wouldnt if i didnt tell someone or let it come through me and my friends who joined friend ships. I wouldnt of have ever gotten my friendship back with deja.


2. Hmm , Robert i would describe him soft on the inside. And that means hes nice , maybe to nice. At the begging of the wave Robert was the class nerd, no one would sit by him at lunch and if he sat by them, they take their trays and go to a new table. When the wave started , everyone in the wave sat by each other including him. When the wve contuied he was obsesssed on that fact and even offered to be Mr. ross's body gaurd. I think the wave changed him that way is because the first day of it. They let him sit at their table, it probably made him feel like somebody. I only think it changed him because he got attention, people noticed him, talked to him, he had friends. But before he was alone and people just ignored him and tried to stay their distance. Im hoping he gets actual friends. Infact thats a good question because i was wondering bout' that too. I think Mr.ross might help his reputation a little. But i think people wont go back to treating him wrong because people got to actually see Robert during the Wave and im geussing some people thought he was pretty cool.

3.Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

a- One example is the Wave period. Because one boy got beat up and then the other boy yelled out the Wave motto and called the boy a ''dirty jew.''And thats just wrong. It showed the Fascism in the Wave

b- well there was the knottsies and that was on the germans i believe. And they took them and if they werent ''working material'' they were killed and their bodies burned after. It showed fascism because they treated them wrong because of their race. Its like me not having white friends because i think their stuck up and annoying <- which i dont. Its mean and cruel theirs no point to it. Like an old saying '' treat someone the way you would like to be treated''

4.The first thing to keep myself from the mob would to find a false on the mob. Like why i dont agree with it. I think that if theres a mob theirs going to people who dont wanna follow the crowd , i would join that crowd so i dont feel alone. I think i would try to do my best to stop the mob. But i think the main thing i would do was try to get otheres to relize what im realizing because i see another half to the whole mob mentatily. I dont really like to be in mobs or follow only one group of people so that would be an excellent reason to not join the mob. Because no ones the same everyone has differences :] I think for advice i would tell people to think hard about the faults on the mob and if their worth fighting over. If so you could inform other people before it goes to far, or if its already to far you can tell a princable of the ''RULER'' of the so called mob. So they can come to their senses and end the whole sharad as soon as possible.

Fhp Reflection

Name: Kezia 10.18.07

Project Reflection

Project Title: Family History Project ( Watts Riot)

Class: Humanities Dates: September through October Due: 10.17.07

PURPOSE

In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.

Sentence Starters

• The purpose of this project was to learn about…

• In order to learn about _________________, we had to create/perform/ write/etc…

The purpose of this project was to learn about a historical moment that you weren't able to witness. On the facts that you weren't born yet or weren't in that city at the time. Another Purpose was to learn how to be a historian and learn how to research information about things most likely you have no idea what happened. In order to learn about our historical events we had to perform, questions, interviews, and how to research to be a good historian for this project.

WHAT I LEARNED

In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.

Sentence Starters

• I learned about…

• I explored the concept of …

• In this project, I learned how to…. (skills)

During this project i learn about a historical moment, for me the Watts riot. I explored the concept of the Watts riot. Why it started, who started it, and when it occurred. Most importantly before i learned about the Watts riot. I had to learn how to be a good historian:

Asking good questions for the interview

Writing a narrative ( historical and personal )

Scrap booking it all

Gathering only the important information

I know that all sounds like it's just basic steps for a project. But in order to do our project Ms. Interlandi taught us all how to work in those specific places. Going back to what i learned about the watts riot is:

It started in 1965 and lasted for 6 days

It occurred in many places not just Los angles.

And that was pretty much it. But i think i learned a lot from this project.

REFLECTION

In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?

Sentence Starters

• I enjoyed this project because…

• I feel like I could have done better on this project because…

• Next time, I would…

I enjoyed this project because it was actually pretty fun and i got to interview my grandma which is something i don't really do. I also liked this project because i thought i learned a lot from it. I don't think i would actually know about the watts riot unless i did this project, or maybe even cared much about it. I feel i could of done better on my interview because my questions somehow some flowed in with each other. Also i lagged after i made my new interview questions to have the interview. Next time i will try to keep in touch better and make sure i make an official Interview date. I also think that i could of gotten more pictures of all of my family, but i really cant blame myself for that because some of my family like my grandma's twin and her other sister like to hog the pictures and don't trust other people with them. Continuing on how i could do better with the pictures is to remember to remind people things because older people have a habit to forget like my grandma did when she came over my house the weekend before the project was due to bring some old family pictures. But luckily i had found some around the house that was either framed, scrap booked, or sitting in a box under my moms bed. I really liked this project and I'm glad Ms. Interlandi did this project

ARTIFACTS

You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?

For my Dp i plan to have my narratives and hopefully get some pictures scanned to put on my dp when i send them to myself. I also plan to put my interview questions for people to veiw on my dp. Lastly I'm going to put the link to wikipedia where i got most of my information.

TheWave post 5.

2. My favorite quote was:'' Damn it Ben! i dont care about your experiment.Ive got teachers complaining, Ive got parents calling me every 5minutes wanting to know what the hell is going on here, what the hell are we doing wit their kids. You think i can tell them its an experiment? My god man, you know that boy who was roughed last week? His rabbi was here yesterday. The man spent two years in Auschwitz. Do you think he gives a damn about your expermient?'' I know that my quote is long but i really wanted the whole speech. I didnt choose it because it had curse words but it shows how the wave is totally out of control at the moment. I really liked this part because it made me think, that it was gone total wild. That i was right on my opionon that it was going to end to be a diaster.

3.Do you think robert will get treated back to the class nerd since the wave is over? Or do you think Mr. Ross is going to help im with that?

The wave post4

1.I think he's not agreeing with whats going on. He's thinking about stopping the wave. He was courageous about it but now he's seeing how its reflecting on others lifes.

2.A sentence that jumped put to me was:''You know'',he said, ''Your just against this thing because your not special anymore.Because your not the bestand the most popular student in the class now.'' That sentence jumped out to me because it showed me that the wave was reflected on how people treated their loved ones. How he just turned on her because she didnt want to go that way.

3. Do you think that the wave is brain washing other people to not hang out with the non-waves.Or do you think Brian just had that problem?Explain.

The Wave .Post 3

1. One example is how kids are cutting their classes to be in his class. So they are missing that period's class to join the wave. Which isnt good because it means their not going to do good in that other class. Another example is how parents are getting worried. Because the experiment is changing their kids into new people. And fully not just in Mr.Ross's class but also in music and in their daily basis life.

2. My favorite sentence was:'' If robert couldnt function in school before the wave, he wont be able to function outside the school where the wave doesnt exist.'' This sentence JUMPED out to me because it made me think. Could it be true.Maybe the wave only could change you for that period of time.Then without the wave your back too your bad habits.Or maybe you learned so well you will keep the good manners and grow with it.

3.My qeustion i has is: Do you think Lauries mom is getting to serious about The Wave. Or do you think its perfectly normal for that reaction? Explain.

The wave Post 2

1. An example is when Brian wanted to use the Wave movements with the football team.He started talking about how they cant work together if their fighting one another. So their team ended out being better. Like the classroom.He taught them how to work together and sure enough it grew them into a better community.

2. The sentence that jumped out to me was: ''If she argued aganist The wave, she be implying that robert should go sit by himself again and not be apart of their community.'' This sentence jumped out to me because it showed that even with the lessons. So people like laurie didnt understand the meaning of the Wave. How it was a community ,like they saod not a popularity contest.I think it also meant if it didnt mean that. That it meant that she's getting used to follow and agree with the rules of the Wave. And keep un nesscary comments out

3. Do you think it was a good idea that robert got invovled? Explain. Why or why not.
