Service Learning

Last week, in our service learning group we dicuss the wheres, when , and what of our service. We split up in to two groups, one of the group organize the letter will would send to other school offering our tutoring services to different schools. The second group had to organize a list of schools to go too. This week I hope to expand on last week topics

NHD: Philadelphilia Female Anti- Slavery

We chose our topic by coming up with ideas that we liked for a NHD project. My group and me narrowed the projects down to two; they were the Philadelphia Black Mafia and the Male Perspective of the Philadelphia Female Anti-slavery Society. We gathered research on both of the societies and then asked some historians and teachers which do they think is least known about so people won’t be able to know more about the project than we do and which one stands out more they all said the Philadelphia Female Anti-slavery Society. It was a society that most likely never talked history classes.

We started our research by starting on the Internet. We found a few things and when we found all we could find we turned to the teachers work. The teachers got us news articles and they gave us primary sources that were found from a museum. We went to two different places, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania and The Quaker Meeting House. This helped us out by meeting people who actually studied the Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society. The Quaker Meeting House had a book on the PFASS that told us about the group in the eyes of Lucretia Mott. The book was called “ Valiant Friend The Life of Lucretia Mott.’’ The Historical Society of Pennsylvania gave us the primary source documents we used for our annotations.

At first we were going to do a documentary, but we had a choice change to performance. We decide to change our project type because we thought if we did that it would be more creative than a documentary. We thought by doing a performance it would bring the project to life if we acted the Male Perspective of the PFASS out.

This project relates to the Conflict and Compromise theme because in our play we the audiences knowing what the conflict is and at the same time let them decide what they think would be the compromise. Whether the compromise was the burning happening an the PFASS meeting at new places or letting the Pennsylvania Hall burn and still responded with peaceful actions.

We chose this topic with many different ideas. Our research was a great help so that we could write our skit. The different topics were to well known so we chose something not many people didn’t know too much about. The project really relates to the conflict part of NHD. We chose this topic because we really wanted to learn about something that will probably not be taught in history classes.

Should parents beat there Children

Parents beating there young as been an issue in society for a while now. The problem is whether beating your child is considering child abuse or not. I think that people shouldn’t not beat there young for three reasons. If you beat your children you can end up beating them too harshly, and it becomes child abuse, also if a parent beat there children, it can result in mental problems in the future, and there are alternative punishments.
My first reason why parents shouldn’t beat there is that you can end up abusing them without knowing it. Some parents feel as if there just disciplining there children and teaching them right from wrong. You heard the saying this hurts me more than it hurts you. That’s not true; the pain you afflict on your children can become too heavy. Child abuse is against the law. Do you want to take the chance of being lock up, because you didn’t believe you were abusing your children? Just teaching them a lesson. Beating can count as child abuse against you.
My second reason is that beating can result in mental problem in the future. In my first paragraph I mention the quote “This hurts me, more than it hurts you”. Too your child that isn’t true, you’re hurting him physically. And mentally. I think beating you child messes with you in both categories. You probably think this a lesson to be learning here but what if there getting the wrong message. What if the message is that they shouldn’t be around no one because they thought they was gone to hit them, are they feel like no one loves them. You have no idea what message you may have inputted in them.
My final reason is that there are other ways of punishment. You can ground them. Take away the phone, or going places. You can even settle the matter with a simple time out. Beating your kids isn’t the only opposition.
Parents shouldn’t beat there children. If you beat your children you can end up beating them too harshly, and it becomes child abuse, also if a parent beat there children, it can result in mental problems in the future, and there are alternative punishments.

Converse issue

  In english class we were debating converse issues. some of the issue we debated was whether parents should beat their children, what is the appropriate age for dating, whether religion should be inputted in school learning. We then had chose one of these topics and write about them.

     

science brochure: The shower

THE SHOWER:

WHAT IS A SHOWER???
A shower is a process of bathing by application of sprayed water upon the body. Its method of personal hygiene through a spraying of the body with hot or cold water as desired, often in combination with soap, shampoo, shower. It is also a more efficient use of water and the power necessary to heat it than taking a bath.

WHO INVENTED IT?
The first real showers, with plumbed-in water, were invented by the ancient Greeks.

Where was it invented or first used?
After exerting themselves in the stadium, ancient Greek athletes would freshen up in the kind of shower depicted on an Athenian vase of the fourth century B.C.

How does it work?
The water travels though pipes and causes water to build up and pushes though the spout.

Why is it important to you?
Showers are important to me because they keep me clean and smelling nice everyday. It produce great hygiene. I couldn’t live without one. I not only use its also clean up scientific experiment spills.

Were are keeping the dream alive! I stand proud and strong being a young hero has taught me to stick to my beliefs. I’m keeping the dream alive my dream alive.

TRUE LOVE

Wats wrong with me y do I always get attact. Girls telling me they love me all jus lies some times I feel the same way but sometimes I jus say it back. But this time I felt something now that I haven’t felt in a while! But I’m losing wat I gained the glance of an angel in my eyes the pretty face warm smile that brighten up my day! Darknesss surrounds me , like being trap inside an box with nothing but blacks wall tightly shut no open but filled wit cracks which represent s my life being slowly decayed! An mirrior of reflection upon the wall Looking up spyin grayish clouds. Being brought down by the scencary . Yet not at tear drop comes down my eyes feeling the need to cry! For some reason I smile. Think Yes this is my world . An black box without an exit sometimes an crack of sunlight shines threw the cracks but then the rain comes and the sunlight fades away you maybe a little confused about wat I’m telling you r you understand my pain. Don’t you wish that there was no hurt but were come love comes pain! Ppl come and go like seasons . People may seem rite for then they turn out to be imposters don’’t be fooled. No, don’t think I don’t believe in true love. For there is one who lovesd all the time behind the scence though it all. I’m just realizing she was in front of me all the time. You know who u r! tears fall down my eyes at the same time I laugh. Going though this pain when she was there the whole time loving me behind it all. As I sit in this black box and staring into the mirrior reflecting. She was always there protecting me. An image walks up behind me blinking by light can’t see her face puts her arms around me. An hug an kiss upon the lips the two of us intertwain. We both being blinkig by light! The walls of my boxes began to fall the sun raise the clouds clear. I found the one , true love. She and I am one!
