I made this short video about war to spread awareness about our current situation and I hope this video will be able to call people to action. I used , interviews of students, and facts to support my video and spread awareness on my topic.

¡Hola! My name is Esperanza Hernández, and I’m one of the people that have managed to survive the Mexican Revolution. Throughout the revolution, i started as a married sixteen year-old woman and later managed to become a soldadera. If you’re interested in my story, you can read my journal down below.
Change and continuity
Throughout the Mexican revolution, so much has changed yet so much has also stayed the same. Something that has changed is the role of the Mexican government. Before the revolution, it was believed that the government should only take a passive role in the government. Later after the Mexican Constitution of 1917, the belief was changed and the national government had an obligation to take an active role in promoting the social, ecenomic, and cultural wellbeing of the citizens. Another thing that changed was woman rights. Before the revolution, woman weren’t even recognized as citizens of Mexico. Throughout the revolution, the woman managed earned their spot in Mexico through their help in the Revolution and even fighting in the revolution. Even though some restraints were still put on woman, they did manage to earn more rights for themselves. However, some things still stayed the same. One thing that stayed the same was the constant state of disagreement between the different revolutionary factions. Throughout the revolution, the constitutionalists demanded democracy while the constitutionalists demanded agrarian reform. The two main revolutionary forces fought time after time during battle and one example would be the Battle de Ceyala. This war was forever remembered as the bloodiest war that was fought between the constitutionalists and the conventionalists. Another thing that continued throughout the revolution was the desire for Agrarian reform. The idea of agrarian reform started with Zapata’s Plan de Ayala and continued throughout battles. Many people fought with their lives for the change but not much was accomplished. In the end, even after agrarian reform was established, many peasants continued to experience poverty.
Think of Mexico, what do you see? Deserts? Tacos? Sombreros? Cacti? Mexico’s history is actually more complicated than you might think. Mexico’s revolution was filled with battles and bloodshed. Mexico had changed 5 presidents in the course of ten year. This is a short five minute video about the Mexican Revolution. The video talks about the important turning points, main figures, and details about events in the Mexican Revolution. This video introduces the Mexican Revolution from the perspective of the main players taking part in the action. The Mexican Revolution started from a revolt of two group called the Constitutionalists and the Conventionalists. The Constitutionalists-led by Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa- wanted agrarian and civil reform. The Conventionalists-led by Venustiano Carranza and Alvaro Obregon- wanted a democracy and a change in government, but weren’t as interested in land reform. Hope you enjoy the video!
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
Gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
During 1891 in Fall River, Massachusetts, the death of Lizzie Borden’s parents zoomed onto the headlines of multiple newspapers. People were questioned, others were accused. Who killed them? Why did they kill them? No one knows. The book, The Borden Murders by Sarah Miller, talks about the historical trial of Lizzie Borden. After inspection of the scene there was only one main suspect, Lizzie Borden herself. How could a mild-mannered young lady kill her parents? If she didn’t, who did?
This page was from day 11 when we learned about how to reread and do research on things we where confused or thought was important. i’m proud of this page because i tried to organize it to look better than my normal pages. My notes that day were about my research on Lizzie Borden’s love life and i learned a lot about how people thought of her love life and all the different rumors and possible lovers.
This page is from day four when we learned about informational texts and story texts. i liked how i got to fill the whole page and that i had the page organized into different sections so it was neat and easy to read. My notes i made where the pressure map but focusing on the central idea that Lizzie Borden’s had a wide range of emotions. I organized it so the good emotions are on the upper half above the middle line and the bad emotions and on the lower half under the middle line. the higher the emotions are, the better they are, and the lower that are, the worst the are.
This page was from day three when we learned about how to track complex thinking. i worked on tracking the central idea that Lizzie Borden had a very wide range of emotions, and i organized them into parts according to their page numbers.
This page was from day five when we where learning and preparing for the town hall formative the day after. I liked the theme we came up with because it was very wide and covered the main problems in our book.
Renaissance humanists by Maggie
My found poem, is taken from the short story “Lather and nothing else” by Hernando Telles. the paragraphs are taken from the last two paragraphs of page three and the first six paragraphs of page four. It’s shows the internal conflict between the protagonist and the barber and how he’s the antagonist because he’s conflicted about the choice to murder the executioner or not. During the conflict of the story, he is shaving Torres while he is thinking about what he has done. He wants to kill Torres, but he is conflicted if he should or not. He’s thinking about the consequences of his actions and what would change if he murdered him. Something I would like for people to notice is that when I originally created the artwork, I tried to make it seem like two consequences of what would happen if he chose different actions. There is a black line running through the middle showing the line in between. The picture on the bottom is if the barber decided to kill the executioner, there is blood spilled. On the top half, the same drawing is continued but instead of blood, it’s lather that is spilled.
