Interview myself
​1. What motivated you to come out and vote?
It was my first time, so I wanted to vote just because I can now.

2. What would you like to see changed in our political system?
I don't know, I think that the people we vote for shouldn't be able to put out negative ads about their opponents

3. Do you vote in every election (How regularly do you vote?)
This is my first!

4. Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
Yep.

5. Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, Print, Internet, other.
On TV. Just about every other commercial is about it in October

6. What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
All of Obama's ads

7. Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?
No, I wasn't sure.

8. What changed do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
I'm not really sure what I want to see changed, just better support for the members of the community

9. What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
I hope that my vote combined with everyone else who voted similarly to me will make positive changes in our government

10. Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today?
Yes. If I didn't learn about it in time, I probably would not have registered to vote on time.

Election Day (My First Time Voting!)

​My First Time Voting

Today I had the privilege to vote for the first time. Although many people may not see the excitement in voting, it was a very exciting feeling for me. It made me feel great to know that my vote could change how the government was ran (even though it probably didn't) I decided to reflect on my first experience voting and answer these following questions: 


1: "What motivated you to come out and vote?" I decided to vote because I have been hearing a lot in the news about the democrats possibly losing the power in the senate if a lot of the democratic candidates lost in this election, and this is also the first election that I am allowed to vote in. 


2: "Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning?" I encountered a lot of ads on youtube, when I clicked on a video a short ad would pop up talking about going out and voting, or voting for some guy (I forgot his name).


3: "What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election" I hope overall the Democrats can keep the majority of power in the house. 


4: "What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?" I don't really think MY vote will change the whole election, but I think that if everybody goes and votes this election will hopefully help put America back on track. (Patriotic Voice)


5: "What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?" A lot of the ones with Obama on them were pretty epic, they made me want to become president or something. 


6: "Are you always sure who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?" Well with me, my mom and I talked about a lot of the candidates before hand so when I walked into the voting place I was pretty sure who I was going to vote for. 

Overall I really enjoyed going and voting for the first time. Even though I am just one person I feel like my vote is a contribution to a group of people who are trying to help fix America.

Me: Oh haha is that because you listen to the radio more anything else.

The awesome polling officials and librarians also let me chalk the sidewalk in front of the ramp that lead to the polls. I apologize it was extremely sunny this morning so I couldn't capture it as clearly I wanted to.

My Election Day Adventure

Posted by Samuel Sirochman in American History - Laufenberg on

Kathleen Williams (my neighbor)

 

What motivated you to come out and vote?

Nothing really motivated me to come out and vote, its just something I was raised to do. My parents did it, so I do it.

Do you vote in every election?

Yes, I vote in every election I get the chance to.

Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning?

I would say it would have to be ads in print, they are everywhere I am taking one off of my door handle everyday.

What was the most memorable ad campaign ad that you have encountered?

None, I ignore all those campaign adds. I vote for the candidate who seems to have the best interests for Philadelphia or Pennsylvania.

What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?

I hope to see the city stay the same, no candidate really ever changes anything. Maybe make the streets a little safer is my biggest wish.

Election Day :)

Interview Questions:

A: "I am a historian. I think about how many black people were killed trying to get blacks the right to vote."

Q: What would you like to see changed in our political system?
A: "Nothing really, I just would like it to be more inclusive. But, you know; politics is what it is."

A: "Yes."

Q: Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
A: "No."

Q: Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? (Radio, TV, print, internet, other)?

Q: What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
A: "I'm not sure. They're all just annoying to me." 

Q: What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election? 
A: "Not too much change." 

Q: What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election? 
A: "It's hard to say. I can't imagine one vote being that important. However, being apart of the political process is always important." 

Q: Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today? 
A: "Yes, in school. It definitely impacted my willingness to vote today."

Election Day 2010 (Barry Playground)
TJ Nicolella

Voter Interview:

Do you vote in every election? I vote in almost every election like the one today but I didn't vote in the election for the president because I didn't like any of the candidates.

Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Definitely on the television... there are so many commercial ads on every station you can think of.

What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election? Well, there's always an impact, even though it's not a large one.

Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today? I went to St. Richards school on the corner over there and they didn't speak one word about the voting system.

Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still
deliberating? Yeah, I'm usually sure about who to vote for and it's always the democrat.

Telling Time

Posted by Amanda Cartagena in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on
How to ask a stranger/person for the time

First thing first you need to know your numbers up to 59

1-10 is

uno=1
dos=2
tres=3
cuatro=4
cinco=5
seis=6
siete=7
ocho=8
nueve=9
diez=10
now from here up to fifteen get’s different when you prounce these make sure you say the ce
once=11
doce=12
trece=13
Catorce=14
Quince=15
Now from here it gets fairly easy. When you say 16-19 it will be dieci then a number. For example
Dieciseis=16
Diecisiete=17
Dieciocho=18
Decinueve=19
You say how knowing your number 1-10 is important.  Also how when say a number 1-16 it will be deci and not diez

Now when you want to say 20-29 it the same as 16-19

20= veinte
21+ veintiuno
22= veintidos
23 veintitres
25= veinticinco
26= veintiseis
27= veintisiete
28= veintiocho
29= veintinueve

Next 30-59 is diffent from 16-29 instead of putting the number together you will add a y…

30= Treinta,
31= Treinta y uno
32= Treinta y dos
33= Treinta y tres
34= Treinta y cuatro
35= Treinta y Cinco
36= Treinta y seis
37= Treinta y siete
38= Treinta y ocho
39= Treinta y nueve
That will be the same for 40 and 50 but instead of Treinta fo 40 it will be Cuarenta and 50 will be Cincuenta

Now you know your numbers up to 59 telling and asking for the time will be so easy.

How to ask for time- ¿(A) Qué hora es? Or  ¿(A) ¿ Qué  hora son? Or ¿(A) Qué hora tiene/

To repode( respond)
Es la una= 1 o clock Only
 The rest will be Son las…
Uno
Dos
Tres
Cuatro
Cinco
Seis
Siete
Ocho
Nueve
Diez
Once
Doce
 Next ….y cuarto means :15 so if you want to say the time is say for example 6:15 you will say  Son Las Seis y cuatro or say you want tos ay the time is 7: 30 you will say Son Las Siete y media. Say you want tos ay for example the time is 8:39 you will say  Son Las Ocho y Treinta y nueve
You see how knowing your Lumber 1-59 play a big part.

But if you want tos ay any time between 45-59 you will use menos( number of minutes befote the hour) So if you will say  for 9:45 Son Las menos cuatro and  cuatro in time means 15. 

You will use this to ask people/ or if people ask you what’s the time. You can use this any where during any time of the day.


Situation for this will be asking a person on street the time

Script-

You: Pornada (excsue me)

Person: si(yes)

You: Que´ hora es?

Person: Es la una y media

You: gracias.

Asking Someone the Day of the Week
Here's how you say the days of the week in Spanish:
lunes- Monday
martes- Tuesday
miercoles- Wednesday
jueves- Thursday
viernes- Friday
sabado- Saturday
domingo- Sunday
*Notice that the days of the week in spanish are not capitalized.
When asking someone what day it is, you say "Que dia es hoy?"

-Karly Bornstein

Seeing your friend/ someone you know in the hallway
To greet someone you first start with "Hola". Also, to be more polite and you can ask how are you : "Que tal?" or "Como va?" The formal way to ask someone how they are is Como esta?" The informal is way "Como estas?"Lastly, to say goodbye to someone, you can say, "Adios!", "Chao!", "Hasta lugeo!" (See ya later!) or "Hasta pronto!" (See ya soon!)

-Karly Bornstein

If you accidentally bump into someone
Here are the ways to have proper manners when speaking Spanish:
To say thank you, you simply say "Gracias" If you want to say thanks a lot you would say "Muchas Gracias" or "Mil Gracias" which means thanks a million. There are three ways to say your welcome: "De nada", "Por nada", and "No hay de que". To say please, it is "Por favor". When it comes to saying excuse me, there are also three different ways to say it, but each way is appropriate for different times. If someone is standing in your way, you tell then "Con permiso". To try to get someones attention, it is "Discuple". If you actually bump into someone it is, "Perdon".

-Karly Bornstein
