• Why did you choose this topic?

I picked this topic because I felt like I was greatly affected by it. My school lives on the internet and if everything is blocked, most of my projects would never have gotten done.

• What did you like about this project? What was most challenging?

Something I liked about this project was that it help me show how I felt about something that was having an impact on me and my classmates. The most challenging about it was putting the info into a video with making it seem like a documentary.

• Describe the most interesting fact or event that you investigated.

The most interesting fact was that most of congress was with the plan of SOPA, but President Obama was against it.

• How could this project be improved?

I would make it more of a PodCast so that I can do more talking.

• Where did you run into trouble with the project?

Trying to find a way to put all our info into the video.

• What went well with this project?

It was really easy to find info, because the problem was going on as we worked on our project.

• If you had it to do over, what would you change about your decisions or your process?

Do more on putting the project together then searching for info that was right in front of my face.

• What did you learn?

That using things such as music, videos that are not original can be you into trouble.

Since I’m lobbying The Curfew Act in Philly, I thought it would be good to start a petition for big names in the city to sign that are against the Curfew Act. I felt as though if I could find enough city initials to agree with me, one of the teens that are affected by it. The way I’m getting my petition out is thru social networking such as Twitter, and Facebook. That is one of the easiest ways for more people to get involved.

 In order to become a teacher you have to go to college, then get certified as a teacher by the state.

 The paper work was really straightforward once we found it!

 I wouldn’t make you have to become a student teacher before becoming a real one.

So that when you become a teacher you will know what you doing.

2 cans (10 3/4 ounces each) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

8 cups cooked cut green beans

2 2/3 cups French's® French Fried Onions

1.     Steam your green beans for 5mins.

2.     Put beans in oven pan stir in soap.

3.     Add French Onions to the top

4.     Bake to onions are golden brown

The dish that I made at home we eat only on holidays or special event. This dish is not  original to my family but has become a family tradition. About five years ago as a family we all noticed that our traditional holiday was not a slight chance of being healthy. So for a change we all had to look up a dish to add to the traditional turkey. The green bean casserole was the dish that everybody had the most doubts, the only dish that stuck around. 

During this unit I learned so much about the life and process of fracking and animals. Going into this unit I had no understanding with what was going on with animals before they reached my dinner plate. This unit showed me what animals go through and how unhealthy that they can be.

Election Day 2011

Donald Romaro

Me- So ser what motivates you to come out and vote today?

Donald- It’s just something I like to do. So that I know that I took part in something so important.

Me- Okay, What do you hope to see change in your neighborhood?

Donald- I just hope to see older people getting more involved, so that the crime rate goes down.

Me- But don’t you think that has a lot to with the cops and the way they play  their part in keeping the community safe?

Donald- Yes but its not their fault that these kids are running around getting into all types of trouble. Their parents should have raised them better.

Me- Thank ser hope you see the change around her.

·  What did you like about this project? What was most challenging?

One thing I like about this project is that it showed everybody true creativity. Giving us a project where we could have changed a part of history of our choice was truly amazing.  The most challenging part was creating points of diversion. I had to go into point of different point of people life and change the outcome. It was hard to  change something that had a big on peoples lives.

·  Describe the most interesting fact or event that you investigated.

Rapper Little Wayne when he was only 12 years of age shot him self in the chest with a 9 mm gun owned by his stepfather. He hit his chest only 2inches away from his heart. I didn’t know that about him until reading biography .

·  How do the actions of individuals impact the historical record?

Action of individuals have a big impact on historical record depending on who you are. If you somebody important people are going t care what’s going with you.

·  How do systemic changes impact the historical record?

Same way as any other change If people care about whats changing it would have a impact on them but it means nothing if people don’t care.

·  How influential can one decision be in the historical landscape?

A lot because lets say look at the oil spill  if the person who owned the company had reacted when he first saw the oil spill then when it got big, what would have happen there no would been as much damage.

·  How could this project be improved?

If I could have been there at my points of deversion to actually see what happen and then change the outcome it would have been so much more detailed.

·  If you had it to do over, what would you change about your process for the project?

Do something that had nothing to do with somebody creativity, because if one person didn’t do it for sure somebody might have came up with it afterwards.
