        According to the activity we did in ELA class I Learned many things. Something that I learned were that the laws changed over the years and got more strict due to the things that happens during the years. One law that u learned that was really interesting for me was that in 1935 the jews were no longer allowed to write and this makes me think that if during the years Thur got more strict this means that the jews weren't really able to do anything with their life. They were taking their entertainment away and leaving them without anything.

      I think that this monument was built to inform people to stop talking about the holocaust . Some people might like it but some won’t because they might think it's disrespectful. Also they might get offended by it.


     What I noticed during the years passed for the jews was that they got much harder to avoid. The laws got more strict and harsh for the jews. I know this is true because in the year 1939 “ Jews not allowed to leave Their home after 8:00pm; 9:00pm in the summer”. After in 1942 they are “ not allowed to drink milk”. This sounds really drastic to me because they are even taking their nutrients away and food and that to me wouldn't be fair. According to all the laws that have changed for the jews they have been a lot.

       One restriction that I think will be hard for me will be “ not allowed to have pets” . This is the one that's hurts to hear that they are avoiding pets because one of my favorite pets are dogs but small ones and I don't think I could be happy if I didn't have somebody to at least be close to me because a pet in accompany. I think that this law is really unfair because if you really can't do anything then you don't have anybody to talk to not even a simple animal.

2nd quarter reflection blog

January 20th , 2016
   
       According to what I've done during second quarter i’ve noticed that i've improve in some things. One of things that I think i've improved on has been investigating journalism because I feel like I focused on it and I can’t stop reading more about it. Another thing that i’ve improved on has been signpost. During I have been reading my books the strategy of doing signpost right along reading the book has helped me a lot  in understanding the book more and giving a more brief explanation of what the book is about. I have also I improved on finding the main idea of an article and annotating. Every time we do article of the week I like doing it because it helps me learn new things and it helps me get ready when we have our test.

    Some things that I have accomplished since new years was that I have done my ixl’s on time. Sometimes I had a hard time doing my ixl’s and I used to be like it ive up or say that I do them later but I never did and some of them used to be late. But know that the new years has started I challenge myself that no matter if it’s hard i'm still going to keep trying because giving up I the never the best solution. Another things that I have accomplished also has been to recheck my blogs and see if i don't have any grammar errors.

       Quarter 2 has been difficult for me but i’ve accomplished to get good grades. One of the most challenging things were my blogs because I used to just write them and not check them. I solve this problem by rechecking them until they sounded good.The reason I did this was to make it sound good because at time I sure to put topics in my paragraph that had nothing to do with what I was writing , so I decided to start putting more attention to them.

Then while I time passes she realizes that she is actually really interested in knowing who is the persons that keeps writing these letters. Then one day that person decided to blowout the word that he was a guy and l
Lily was curious of who it could be.

       This book while I was reading it it was really exciting to know who the mysterious person is. I really enjoyed this book a lot that I also finished it in 2 days. I honestly don't think I would've ever accomplished doing it. Katie west " brings irresistible wit, warmth, and sparkle to this swoon worthy story if love showing up when - and where - you least expect it."

I would recommend this book to the people who like mystery and romantic books because this book has these 2 genres. The viewer would like to go out and get this book because it's a r rally good book to me and I'm sure other people will enjoy it as much as I did and most importantly kids from 6-8 grade.

"Unemployed? What’s the reason?!”

“Unemployed? What’s the reason?!”
By : Claudia Franco

 More than 102 million working age americans do not have a job. There are many reason for being jobless. The culture that you are from or your skin color is also a big problem with finding a job. Currently this is called racism.There are some jobs that do not accept certain people considering their skin color. This is a major reason why some people in that country do not have jobs. This is a dumb reason because if there were in the same situation that they are passing they will notice that it’s not
fair to do that.

  Gender is also a big role in unemployment. In the website is says “In 2007 women in sales occupations had an unemployment rate of 5.7%, compared with a rate of only 3.8% for men”. This quote is showing us how in some jobs they don't like women to work there because maybe it might bear too difficult for them. According to the men's percentage and the women’s we can tell that more women are unemployed than men.

               For, families being unemployed is more than just losing a job. According to what I've seen, heard, and read about being unemployed it affects your self esteem,  but most importantly your family. Some effects in the family is that they don't have enough money to eat or even to pay for their kids education. Also some kids get mad at their parents because that is their most difficult time and some kids or teenagers might ask for money from their parents and their parents are not able to give them any.


       Stress is a very big part of being unemployed. The mother and father might not eventually talk to  each other for days because the woman might be mad that the husband quit his job. Another stress is not being able to  have enough money to eat or to pay your child's education. Some people use unemployed can't even find another job and that is a big struggle for them. In the website is said “If it is hard to find one it is harder to lose it” . This quote is something that tells people to appreciate what you are given and to prove that being unemployed Is not something easy.


Being unemployed is scary and more if their is only one person in the house that pays everything and has children to feed. There are many reasons for people to care about when being unemployed. People should care about being  unemployed because If you don't have a job how are you going to survive. Having a job is something that every person should do at Some point of their lives because it helps you with many things. Some people may not go to college and not get to be what they Wanted but their are many other opportunities for them.  Another reason why they should care is because you can’t just live without any work. Paying the bills of the house is a bug priority and if you are unemployed you will not have a phone to contact with anybody, tv so entertain yourself or your family, water to take a shower or drink from, and electricity to be abler to cook or do many other things.

There are many ways that people can make a change of being unemployed.Some people might start panicking when they lose a job, built some won’t. Some of them might start right away to look for another job. But, they should not spend such a long time looking for a job because that’s when stress comes in

         Donald trump had tweeted in Sunday that he had won the popular vote. He said that if you were to subtract the millions of people who voted illegally he would've won it. He claimed that their was cheating in Virginia, New Hampshire and California. But , however Clinton had won the popular vote. Democrats have said that they have no signs that someone might of hacked that would change the results.

          Their was many paragraphs sounded interesting out to me during reading my article. One of the paragraphs that were interesting to me was when they say that “ Trump used Twitter to send a message Sunday. He said that he won the popular vote if you subtract the millions of people who voted when they were not supposed to. He later claimed there were voters cheating in Virginia, New Hampshire and California.” . This Paragraph sounds interesting to me because in this paragraph he is saying that he didn't really needed the help of the people that voted illegally because either way he would've been able to win the Election. This to me sounds insulting to the people that voted because it's like saying that they don't need them. Another reason was that why is he assuming that they cheated I some countries when he doesn't have any evidence to prove that it's true.



          I have learned many new things during reading my article. One thing that I learned was that Donald trump is saying that many people voted illegally during the election. According to this he said that votes will be counted gain in some states. Some place that voted that Wayne were in Virginia, new hamsphire, and California. But Donald trump might of have won the election but Hilary Win the popular vote.

November 17th, 2016

Today during our gallery walk in ELA  I learning many new things. Most of them have to do with the whole world and most of them have to do with certain areas. One interesting topic that I learned today about was that teachers are coming up with new ideas for their students to focus more on their school work. This article is persuading teachers to try it out for their students. The new object that teachers came up with was to get new seats for their students . According to the article these seats can help students to focus more on their school work and to put more attention. But, it also shows that not all the kids might be comtarble with sitting on them , some might get distracted. So according to this teachers have normal chairs for the students that can’t handle it.

   Another thing I learned was about the struggles that a Syrian family had to face. This family lived in a peaceful place in Syria with no violence. But, time
passed were they pieced started to become an unsafe place. After this happened the family decided to move . They lived in a refuge camp were they weren't able to work. So,  they decided to move to the United States but the United States did a background check and it took them 2 whole years. People are saying that they were judging them because from were they came.
