John’s French Revolution Journal

Video:
This video was created for a Humanities group activity which was made by Thomas, Winston and John. The video overall talks about what 1789-1799 French Revolution looked like back then, but in a Common Craft video style. It is split into 3 parts, introduction, major events, conclusion. We as a group really worked hard on this (planning, videotaping, finalizing) so it is very diverting to watch, amongst the background music and this atmospheric feeling combined with simple explanations you can learn the 1789-1799 French Revolution only in 3 minutes! Don’t forget to leave a comment and share this with people around you, we hope you enjoyed it!
Question to think about: has another revolution went out like the French one at the start?
Context:
-Causes of the revolution: the Estate System, absolutism, Enlightenment ideas, food shortages, war, bankruptcy.
-Major events: storming of the bastille, royal’s unsuccessful escape, the reign of terror, war with Austria, king and queen’s death.

My book club book is called Shackles From The Deep, written from Michael Cottman. The main topics in this book are Tracing the Path of a Sunken Slave Ship, a Bitter Past, and a Rich Legacy. From the book Shackles From The Deep, it shows slavery and racism rapidly throughout the book. For example, encountering the world’s oldest slave ship discovery, and certainly the oldest in North America, the Henrietta Marie and its bounty of watch bell, iron cannon, and iron shackles helped shed light on the inhumane industry that ripped West Africans from their homes.
Project 1:
Part 1: Develop & Plan
My initial idea was to sow on a stickman on a bookmark, but through reasons I lost my first project. After that, I thought about making a pin, so in my mind the drawing that I am going to attach on my pin should be smaller, and I thought about my favorite video game—Genshin Impact. There’s a thing called 原石 which you have to use in order to buy materials and coins, and it’s shape is like a four-pointed star, which is easy to sow in a certain amount of time. After I finished, planning, I got feedback from my parents which gave me some inspiration with the sowing—I should not rush it.
Part 2: Create & Improve
About the infographic, I wrote about 4 main facts about Humanism. The first main belief about Humanism was Classical Texts, my ranking for this fact would be 5, because it almost includes all the information back then, and was all about contemporary thoughts. The second main belief about Humanism was Literature, it mainly developed in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. The third main belief was Science, it started during the early 17th centuries. The last main belief about Humanism was Art, it produced during through the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. My rankings for Literature, Science and Art would be 4, because they all include in Classical Texts, by which I included them in the infographic because I wanted to explain them in detail and clearly.
This found poem is located in the story “Thank You M’am“, from paragraph 1 until paragraph 7. The author of this story is Langston Hughes, created in 1958. There happens to be an internal conflict in this poem, which is Man vs. Himself. An evidence from the text to support my thinking would be that Roger hesitates for a moment, struggling about will he choose to stay or run away— “whereupon she turned him loose—at last. Roger looked at the door—looked at the woman—looked at the door—and went to the sink.”
I designed a pet house that for a dog, which is what it’s like above in the picture. I used almost 2 weeks to finish this in class. This is a sofa with a tunnel connected to it on the side of the sofa. The dog can crawl in the tunnel and can come out from 3 places—the entrance, the hole in the middle and the exit.
My biggest success was my cardboard arcade is completed and decorated perfectly, also, the 4th graders liked my cardboard arcade. The 4th graders think that my cardboard arcade was fun, especially the shooter and the decorations. One thing that I could change if I can create another cardboard arcade is that I will use more harder materials to make my cardboard arcade, because the materials that I used on my recent cardboard arcade was easy to break.
Overall, I think it was a success of making it, and playing it!
Reflection for Cup Insulator
Team Members: John, Arthur, Rayan
A. We were trying to avoid the temperature going down and letting the temperature to heat up.
B. I tested the thickness of every material at the Design Lab, and at the end, the EVA foam, cotton balls, steel wool and felt was the thickest materials, so we used it to make our project.
C. Claim: The materials that we used is very thick
Evidence: The materials that we used is thick because we tested it a lot of times and it’s the thickest materials from the list.
Reasoning: The reason the materials is thick enough is because every material has a very thick layer.
D. I am most proud of my team, because we did a successful project.
The hardest thing that I’ve done in this project is to hot glue the materials together.
When you blog you create posts and posts are categorised according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you. If you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:
- An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category.
- Body – this is where you share your learning. This can include text, images, embedded videos from Dragons’ Tube or elsewhere. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging? Do they want to keep reading?
- Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
