1. Should people who come to American knowing English?

Yes, because when they are looking for job they should know how to speak English, so then when they have an interview for a job, we both could understand what they are saying. Also, depending on the job that they want to know, they should be able to speak English if they have to work with costumers.

In charge!!

1. If you were in charge, who will you chose to become an American?

If I was in charge I would want for the person to know how to speak our language because they need to know how to communicate with us for information if needed. Another way for them to be an American is that they would have to have experience with somthing so, when they move here they could have a job.

Should we define someone by their actions or their intentions?

I think that you should judge a person on there intensions not there action because just say that they are a loud person and they act werid but you shouldnt act on there actions because they might be a nice person but you wouldnt know because you judge them on the way they act.

Andrew Jackson, a brave man

torid — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:25:44 +0000

On March 15 1767, Andrew Jackson was born. He was a man of the common people which meant that poor land owners supported him. He was a war hero in the battle of New Orleans uring the war of 1812 and that helped lead him into becoming president of the United States. during his presidency Jackson established Jocksonian Democracy. his way of ruling the coultry was the spoil system, which was him allowing his supporters to have high power in the government. Rich people hated the idea of this and thought that the poor people woul only help themselves and not the country. Andrew JAckson also did not like the Native Americans and thought of them as cattle. He started the Trail of Tears which was a long trail about 800 miles through the country. Jackson did not like to follow the Constitution and the Trail of Tears was declared by John Marshall as unconstitutional, knowing this Anrew Jackson told John Marshall to try an stop him an the trail of tears was continued. Jackson also destroyed the national bank of the United States. He Would take money out of the bank an put it in piggy banks aroun the country. Doing this could have destroyed the economy of the Unite States.

I think that even though Andrew Jackson had a tough childhood he still managed off to have a wealthy life

Star Spangled banner.. what it means to me

torid — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:20:50 +0000

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light

(Seeing the light, war ending)

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

(Celebrating the winning, big smiles on everyone faces)

Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

(The American Flag stayed up through whole fight)

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

( Being Protected)

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

( The weapons that are being used, the soldiers fighting)

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

( That they have a chance of winning)

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave?

( Still waving today)

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

( Being brave with fighting for freedom)

My Passion

torid — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:51:48 +0000

My passion is dance, I been dancing for 8 years at Renee School of Dance. My sister has been dancing for 9 years, I went to her recital and after her recital I couldn’t wait to dance. Dance is important to me because it keeps me active and it’s something that I love. My New Year resolution is to get an award for either Tap or Jazz. I would be happy with Ballet too, but Tap and Jazz are my favorite type of dances. I dance on Friday nights so, it’s hard because my friends ask me to go to the movies on Friday but, I can’t because I have Dance. I use to get really mad about it but now I don’t mind it now because enjoy dancing and I’m committed to it.

I love to dance. I’ve been dancing for 8 years at Rennees school of dance. We do ballet, tap and jazz. My favorite type of dance is Jazz because I think it is the most fun and I like the steps that we have. I like tap to because its very cool how the steps are made its alot different from Jazz and ballet. Ballet is the hardest type of dance for me but I get the step fast. I love to dance and I cant wait to get my 10 year trophey. Im trying to get an award for best jazz dancer because it’s my favorite type of dance and I would love to reccive one.

Student Rules

torid — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:41:02 +0000

I think we should be able to use are cellphones when we have breaks
We should be able to use ipods during study hall because I like to listen to music when I do my homework.
I also think we should be able to eat whenever we want if were hungry
That we dont have to sign out when we go to the bathroom
I think we should be able to sit with anyone we want at lunch even though there not in our team because you could have alot of friends at that table and barley any at yours.
