Big Yellow Taxi

This song is about destroying the planet.  Because you take the trees away and put them in a museum and then we have to  pay to see them when you used to be able to go outside and look at them.  It's also destroying the planet by the farmers using D.D.T to make the perfect apple, but it caused cancer in people who used it and is the true that you don't know what you got til it's gone.  People take advantage and don't notice things.  Then you notice them when they are gone.

Land of Trash

Land of Trash

Ian Tamblym

I thought this play or skit is a an unrealistic idea of what the earth will turn out to be in roughly 60 years.  The characters are nuke and stryder.  They are looking for stuff in a dump when they run into a old man who is radioactive.  His name is Carson.  He tells them to get lost but they stay and find a water pipe.  They make a deal with him to let them take water and in exchange they don't report them.  They think he is hiding something so they look around they find a greenhouse of plants under a pile of garbage.  They try to take a flower but they get caught and decide to stay and help him start growing plants.     

Student bags A's in recycling

I think this story is cool and this is a good idea to recycle the same bag other wise he  would have used 174 bags instead of one.  Other kids used the idea and got other types of bags.

Searching for Mom

Lynda

I am christys adoption mother. 

I feel happy as soon as I start the process of adoption.  I feel nervous and scared when she started asking question about her real mom.  When she was about to turn eighteen and be free to do what ever she wants to do I would be very nervous and sad.  When she found her birth mom and was going to meet her I would be happy and sad.  The moment when she net her I feel fulfilled and motivated to tell people  to adopt too.

10 things I have learned about the Holocaust and World War 2

9.  Auschwitz was the largest killing camp located in Poland.

10.  During the end of world war 2 there were many invitations in tank technology like the Sherman tank with canvas on the side so it can float in the water.   They also made many dummy tanks so the enemy would be fooled.

My Divergent Fear Simulations

public speaking

I would walk into a huge room and see 1000 people expecting me to give a long boring speech.  I would start say the speech but nothing would come out of my mouth.  I would be very, very, very nervous. Eventually the crowd would start to yell and demand me to speak.  They would throw chairs at me.  I would run off the stage and hide so they couldn't find me, but then they find and beat me senseless.

Driving a ford

I would go to a ford dealership ans buy a brand new ford F-350.  I would start to drive home and the wheels would  start to vibrate.  I would get up 120 kilometers an hour and try to slow down but the brakes wouldn't work. Then I would crash into a Kenworth dealership, blow up and die.

Just in Case IH

I love Case IH equipment mainly because of the color red.  This is a 600 Quadtrac pulling a case seeder.  This my dream tractor, I would love to one day own this setup.  On our farm we own noting but Case and New Holland.  I personally like Case better then any other brand of equipment.  This combine is a Case 8120 combine.  When I grow up and become a farmer I want to have Case equipment on my farm.

Would I forgive him

If were Tris I would never forgive Al.  He tried to kill her with her wort enemy's Peter and Drew.  They hung her over the chasm and almost killed her.  If four wouldn't have been there she probably would have died.

Divergent Factions

          Abnegation is a plain routine way of living.  Your house's, clothes, and every thing is the same. You can't think about yourself.  Dauntless is a crazy way of living.  You are always doing crazy stuff.  Candor you have to be very truthful with everybody.  Amity is very peaceful way of living.  They don't want any violence or war.  Erudite is very smart.  They like to know everything they can.

     I would pick abnegation because I don't feel like jumping of a building.  I like routine's and doing jobs.

My Giver Performance Task

The Giver Project Options

Choose one of the following Performance Tasks:

1.     Create a poster on paper or digitally that compares your family with Jonas’s.  How are they the same?   How are they different?  Describe why you think your family is easier or more difficult to be a part of.  

2.     Watch this video about musical instruments and then discuss The Giver’s “Hearing Beyond”.   Create a podcast that describes how life without music would be.    http://www.upworthy.com/watch-the-first-54-seconds-that-s-all-i-ask-you-ll-be-hooked-after-that-i-swear?g=4

3.     Underneath the calm of Jonas’s society lies a very orderly and inexorable system of euthanasia, practiced on the very young who do not conform, the elderly, and those whose errors threaten the stability of the community.  Create a poster on paper or digitally that would answer the following questions: 

a.     Define euthanasia. 

b.     What are the disadvantages and benefits to a community that accepts such a vision of euthanasia? 

c.      Give examples through history about the topic. 

d.     What is your opinion of it? 

e.     Is it ever okay to euthanize a person?  When or why not? 

f.       Why should this topic be discussed and debated?

4.     Who would you choose to play the characters of the book and why?  Create a blog post that includes pictures and descriptions of each of the actors that you choose.  Now compare your list with the actual list of actors that have been hired for the movie.  Do you think they’ve made good choices?  Why or why not?

5.     Vocabulary and “Precision of Language” is very important in this novel.  In fact, the community is built upon language that is not precise, but that deliberately clouds meaning.  Consider what Jonas’s community really means by words such as: released, feelings, animals, nurturer, stirrings, replacement child and Elsewhere.  Define each of these words according to the meaning they have in The Giver  and present the meaning in a digital format. 

6.     Look up the word euphemism and write out the definition.  Examine the ways that Jonas’s community uses euphemism to distance itself from the reality of what is called “release”.  How does our own society use euphemism to distance the realities of death, bodily functions, aging, and political activities?  What benefits and disadvantages are there to such a use of language?  Explain why you think the community in The Giver uses euphemism.  Create a poster or digital display that explains this concept. 

7.     Create a book/movie trailer for the book.  It must be at least one minute in length and use at least three different scenes.  Watch this one to give you an idea of what is expected.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo47H_G3YLk

8.     What questions would you ask Lois Lowry if you could?  Create a podcast or video of the interview that you would like to have with her.
