End of Quarter 2 Feedback

My new goals for this quarter are:

Get better at Socratic seminars.

Plan my AR schedule better, read faster so I don't feel so stressed by the end of the quarter, and plan more time for reading.

Get better at revising! I can never give good advise, and I should read faster, and make better decisions when it comes to revising.

I don't really think that I have meet my goals for qtr 2. My goals were: get better at Socratic seminars, plan my AR schedule better, and get better at revising.

Last time we had a Socratic seminar I did talk more, but I still need to work on it more.

For AR ,I thought that 16-20 points was an A, so after I had taken an AR quiz I had 16 or 18 points, and I thought it was an A, so I didn't take another quiz. When I found out that it wasn't an A, I should have planned it better!

When we revise, I don't think I give very good advise, I need to work on that some more...

So to sum it all up, My goals for qtr 3 are the same as qtr 2, which are:

Get better at Socratic seminars.

Hotel Rwanda blog Assignment

"According to the sources and the film, how did individuals, groups of people and the world community fail the people of Rwanda?"

In the movie when the guests called their friends and relatives, only about one fourth replied and helped. Gregoire, who worked at the hotel, betrayed Paul and the others by telling the Hutu that the UN were helping some Tutsis to get out of the country. And General Bizimungu only wanted to help if he got something in return, and in a way he failed the people of Rwanda, because he was Rwandian and didn't want to help unless he got something out of it. And when the presidetn was killed, people thought that it was tutsi rebells, but it turned out to be Hutus.

And from source B and from the movie, the Europeans (or the "whites" as they were called) left Rwanda in the middle of the massacre.

The main visual elements are of Africa, completely black, and a very big footprint covering the whole of Africa.

This political cartoon is probably about how Africa was colonized, and that it didn't do any good, since Africa is black, "in the dark".

The cartoonist maybe wanted to say that imperialism was a "dark" time for Africa. A bad thing.

Well, Africa is coloured all in black, as if it was in the dark, and the footprint looks kind of threatening. I think it's European, because it's a footprint of a shoe, the Africans at the time probably didn't even have shoes!

Maybe the cartoonist could have had some red between the cracks in the footprint, to show that people died, and that it was a very bad time.

The Scramble For Africa, who won and who lost?

Jeong Eun and I had Great Britan.

Our strategy was first to take over the suez canal in Egypt so we controled some of the shipping. Then to take over land in that area, all the way down to the cape in South Africa.
We first considerd the suez canal, and the tipp of Somalia, then we contrled the tip there too. And then we started looking for places where there were natural resources.

I think that Germany might have won, because they have alot of natural resources, like diamonds and gold. Even though we might have had more land, and we controled the suez canal, there land had better natural resources, therfore, worth more.

I think that the Netherlands lost, because the little land that they have doesn't really have alot of natural resources.

5 themes of Geography in "Things fall apart"

The 5 themes in geography are

Movement (people, ideas and transport).

• The white men came. (page: 128)

• Christianity came. (page: 134,135)

Region (group of locations that have something in common with another).

• The religion was the same in the nine villages.
  

Human Environmental interaction (how we impact the environment and how it impacts us).

• When Okonkwo gives Ezinma medicine with ingredients from nature (page: 81)
  

Location (where).

• Africa, Nigeria. (back of the book).
  

Place (what it's like in a particular location).

• There customs of marriage, apparently they do it differently in each village before a marriage ceremony. (Page:70,71)

The main visual elements of this picture is a man with octopus arms. The arms are outstretched and are touching different countries.
I think the issue is that the Englishmen took over, colonized, different countries.

The cartoonist maybe thought that the
1. Englishmen took over too much, and liked taking over.
2.That the Englishmen almost destroyed the countries.
3. That the people never really had any privacy.

Because:
1. There are many hands. And the big head is smiling.

2.the octopus arms are holding to countries, it almost looks like the arms are destroying the countries.

3. The big heads eyes are in two different directions.


Other techniques the cartoonist could have probably was to show what happened to the people that lived there before the Englishmen came and took over. Like a small person standing on one of the countries looking sad.

Contrast- The Englishman's hat gives contrast. England with a white background.The colours of the sea,land and the arms. Maybe also the birds.

Repetition- The arms , the colour of the arms.And the colours of the arms is the same as the hair, that's repeating the colour. The colour of the countries.

alignment- It looks pretty aligned. It has arms on both sides, and the birds helps to balance it.

Proximity- The birds are together. The arms are kind of together. The waves are together.
