Cuban Revolution Journal

The Cuban Revolution, which ended Fulgencio Batista’s regime in 1959, brought both significant changes and elements of continuity to Cuba.

Changes:

Overthrow of Batista’s Regime: The revolution resulted in the end of Fulgencio Batista’s rule in Cuba. It replaced Batista’s regime with a socialist government led by Fidel Castro, starting a socialist government led by Fidel Castro, establishing a one-party system.
Political Reforms: Cuba underwent significant transformations in politics and the economy, including the establishment of a socialist government, land reforms, and nationalization of industries.

Continuity:

Leadership: Fidel Castro played a prominent role in leading Cuba after the revolution.
Strained U.S. and Cuba relations: The relationship between Cuba and the United States remained tense, with ongoing economic sanctions.

The Cuban Revolution brought significant changes to Cuba, but some aspects, like leadership and political structure, continued. While some might say that the Revolution was something good for the Cuba but I don’t think so at all. Some might say that Castro brought them out from Batista control but I would say that Castro didn’t make much difference like Batista. Castro has caused more problems after the revolution that has caused more people to leave the country compared to when Batista have control. As a result, I don’t think that the revolution did bring any good to the country in general, nor was the revolution worthful.

Joon Joseph and I made a simple version of the Cuban Revolution, we picked out what we think was the 6 most important timeline that happened in the Cuban Revolution. We picked out the Spanish-American War, how Batista rigged the election, Fidel Castro attacking Moncada Barracks, yacht Granma, the reformation, and the Missile Crisis. During the video making process we had a ton of fun, finding places to put in funny sound effects, making dumb mistakes in the videos, editing the video, and more. In the making process I was able to get a deeper and more clear understand in the revolution, not like when I was learning the revolution at first very confusing and blurry, the making video was a fun way of learning this revolution. During the process it was also one of a few times that I was very eager to finish the work and put a lot of effort into this video, it was a very fun learning process being able to have fun and learn was something I barely felt. Now enjoy the video!

Borden Murder Notebook Summative

January 29, 2024 / Steve / 0 Comments

“The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and The Trail of the Century” by Sarah Miller tells the story of a famous murder case in the 1800s. It explores the mystery of who killed Mr. and Mrs. Borden, Lizzie Bordens Father and Step-Mother, and the trial that followed up. The book focuses on the main idea: how the truth can be hard to find and. As the story unfolds, readers will see how different people had different opinions about what happened, also a theme, rather to trust your guts, or other words logic, or to judge people by specific evidence. In the book, there wasn’t any direct evidence proving Lizzie Borden as the murderer, but it was just the police suspecting Lizzie Borden guilty. Even to this day, who brutally killed Mr. and Mrs. Borden is still an unsolved “myth”.

Day 5 on our notebook page was where we had our Book Club Fair and we had to provide a theme, evidence, and reasoning to the rest of the class, while the rest of the class think of questions to ask us. Our theme was that people should be judge by direct reasoning not by logic, since in the book there wasn’t any direct evidence that can prove LIzzie Borden guilty.

Day 4 we had a book time where we learned about informational texts and narrative text with the book on Dorthy. In my book, The Borden Murder, there was a slight change in history where in the book it states that Lizzie cried at the funeral of her father and step-mom but in history Lizzie didn’t cry at all but also did not where accordingly to the dress code of the funeral.

Day 3 was where we found places in the book that was brought up later into the book.

Button Button Poster Summative

The Poem came from the story Button, Button by Richard Mathson. I used page 104 where Norman and Arthur was introduced to the Button where you press the button, someone in the world that you don’t know will die. But in return, you will get $50,000. To the end of the story, page 111. Where Norman figures out that that the $50,000 came from Arthurs life insurance after his death. Where also Mr.Steward, the man that gave the button said that she didn’t know her husband. In my opinion, I think that the story shows both internal and external conflicts. Whereas the internal conflict was the decision of pressing the button or not. Risking the fact that someone might die in order to get $50,000 to a life that both Norman and Arthur have dreamed about. On the other hand, external conflict where at the end of the story Arthurs dies in return of the $50,000 which wasn’t what Norman had even think of happening.

My poem shows this because I have used key words that, in a way, symbolizes both the internal and external conflicts. I also used key words that led to both internal and external conflict, led to the next conflict, connection between conflicts. The art work in the background shows a devil with a button on one of their hand and $50,000 on the other. Which is basically what the main conflict or the main led of conflict in the entire story.

My Cardboard Arcade Gmae

One of my biggest success was when we thought of making one of the hoops moveable. Because it was really hard to make since we had to find the right size for the hole but also for the thing to stable the hoop with the cardboard connected with the stick behind the board.
One thing I will like to change is the size and the launcher, since because the size is to small the ball wont have a perfect arc to get into the hoop. So when we change the size of the hoop the ball will be more able and easier to get in the hoop.
