Our World of War

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.

Land and liberty!

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!
 

The Borden Murders Murdered My Brain Cells. Was It An Axe-ident? Axe the Author! (Axe-planation Mark)

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.
