wave final post

1)For the rest of your lives….never, ever, allow a group’s will to usurp your individual rights.” I think that quote means never let anyone or any organization take away your rights to do anything you were allowed to before. I think something that would involve me and that quote is if in the future they stoped allowing the Chinese in America because the Chinese started war with the US and they asked me to move to a prison camp, i will always remember i am an American citizen and even if I'm half Chinese i shouldn't be asked to move.

2) I think Robert is a person who is weird and doesn't have what he wants in life like more friends or better grades, and when he heard of the wave, he knew this was the chance to make him equal to all his class mates. When he was equal with all his class mates he felt like he wasn't yet and he took it a little too far but he didn't even know, and allot of the kids who were in the wave was just like him and took it too far.

3) A:I think fascism and the wave are very similar because in the wave there are leaders that have allot of power and can prosecute anyone they don't like.

B: I think an historical event that involved fascism is the Nazi's because there was a leader (Hitler) and they possessed allot of power.

4) I think mob mentality is when two groups of people form up to make a larger group of people because if they do that they get more power and an example is if two gangs group together to make a larger gang and then they go find more gangs to join them so they can make the size larger and after a while they will have a massive amount of power.

REFLECTION

Name: Michael Fortin
Project Reflection
Project Title: Family History project
Class: Humanity's A,B Dates: 10/17/07
PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
Sentence Starters
The purpose of this project was to learn about…
In order to learn about _________________, we had to create/perform/ write/etc…
Ms.Interlandi started this project for us because she wanted us to learn about our historical event but at the same time, it taught us to realize how horrible the historical event was. In order to learn about my historical event (The Great Taiwan Earthquake), I had to research about the earthquake on the Internet and in books for about two weeks and then i had to make a historical narrative, that summarizes up the earthquake. I had to make a personal narrative about my self, and ms. Interlandi said it could be anything about yourself so i chose my name. The last part of my project was putting some family photos in, that was the hardest part because i couldn't choose what picture i should put in my album.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
Sentence Starters
I learned about…
I explored the concept of …
In this project, I learned how to…. (skills)
I learned about a lot of things during this project, because this was the
first project that i ever have to use the computer and use a photo album. I learned a lot about this earthquake because i was actually in this earthquake but i was about 4 so i didn't know anything about it and i thought that earthquake was just a small earthquake that hit Taiwan but during this project i realized that this earthquake wasn't small it was the biggest earthquake that hit Taiwan in one hundred years. I learned that thousands of people died and tens of thousands of people were left homeless. This earthquake effected Taiwan so much that they had to make a architecture rule that every single house has to be earthquake proof.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
Sentence Starters
I enjoyed this project because…
I feel like I could have done better on this project because…
Next time, I would…
I enjoyed this project because i got to do every thing by myself and the teacher didn't have to tell us to much to do, we had to find it out ourself which was kinda fun because we learned how to do stuff by ourself. I feel like i could have done better on this project, because i didn't take all my time typing the narratives. I feel like i just typed what information i found and i should have took more time finding information then thinking of what to type. Next time, i would get more pictures of the earthquake and get more artifacts.
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?
In this project i had 4 pictures of what the earthquake did to Taiwan, like
More than one hundred bridges and highways collapsed or thousands of high-rises collapsed because of the earthquake.

wave #5

2) my favorite sentence of all is " Ben had disappeared from school halfway through the day, and she had a feeling she knew why. When she got home she found her husband hunched over a book on Nazi youth." that kind of gave me a feeling Ben was loosing controll of the wave and he is trying to find a way to controll.

3)my question is do you think mr.ross i loosing controll why or why not?

wave 4

1)when he asked mr.ross if he needed a body guard is when i think it has went to far because in ms.deanna's class she was talking about little rock 9 and how the kids needed body guards and how big a deal it was so yeah.

2)my favorite sentence is "Come on, Laurie, the only reason you're against The Wave is because it means you're not a princess anymore." because it was kind of funny and that it shows every one is talking about the wave like it is a famouse celeberty.

3)do you think this experiment was made by mr.ross to copy what the nazi was?

Wave chapter 8 - 10

1. I think on example of mr.ross loosing controll of the wave is where some students who are so obsessed about the wave they are skipping there own classes to be in mr.ross's , and another example is when the principle went into his office and said "you are taking it too far".

2. My favorite sentence is "wouldn't have anything to do with this wave thing would it"? because i think the principle seeing every one else in the wave, i think he wants to join too.

3. My question is do you think that mr.ross will have to shut down the wave?

WAVE #2

1. I think the motto "Strength through discipline" is effecting the class room because every one is behaving and no one is out of order. If the wave spread out to lets say a baseball team, they will do every thing right no mistakes and dominate the field.

2.The sentence that i wanted to read over and over again was, "from now on, our two motto's will be, "Strength through discipline " and "Strength through community. This sentence popped out to me because when i read that it showed a sense of power and spirit.

3.My question is what do you think Christi meant when she said "maybe your becoming a Ginni pig in your own experiment"?
