In class we ready in our text books about a group called the War Hawks. After doing some research on the War Hawks, I think the book did a good job of describing the War Hawks. There was not much I would have added except the fact that most of the War Hawks were Democratic Republicans. I would not change the section much because it does have all the key information such as: they wanted war against British and they believed that the British were trying to suppress the independence of their nation. If I was editor of the book I would not know what to add to make it more interesting. The section if brief because there is not much information besides leaders and what they wanted the key points. As I already said this section has all the key points listed so there is not much to critique besides the missing information such as they were Democratic Republicans.

Heres the picture I would have used in the book

This is John C. Calhoun’s grave, he was one of the leaders of the War Hawks.

These couple weeks my class in social studies has been doing something called Significant Objects. We took ordinary objects and gave then a story from the past. The stories we make were made up and we put the items on auction. I liked this project because we could be creative with our stories. I think theres not much that should be changed and when we went on live on the internet to present our objects we were very organized and we did well. A challenging thing about this was limiting ur imagination because we had to make it sound reasonable. In the future when if I do this again when I speak on the live stream I should stutter less.

Today i decided to answer some questions about leaders.

What characteristics does a good leader have?

I think a good leader has to be nice but also strict. They should also know about their followers.

Are leaders made?  or born?

I think leaders are made. Leaders do not know everything when they are born the more hey experience the more they know about how to lead.

Describe a time when you were a leader.

I was a leader when a blackout happened at my house even though I did not have any followers I lead myself safely out of the house.

Describe a time when you followed a leader.

I followed a leader when a fire drill happened and i followed my teachers who were my leaders.

Can anyone be a leader?

Anyone has the potenial to be a leader but some people don’t become leaders due to them not wanting to be or making the wrong choices.

Are you a leader?

I don’t consider my self a leader because i usually follow others.

What are you strongest abilities as a leader?

I think my strongest abilities as a leader is my voice. 

Its commanding and a strong voice makes you sound commanding when you need to be.

If you don’t consider yourself a leader, what is standing in the way?

I think that the only thing standing in my way is because of how I act. I do not try to be a leader and I am not good at telling others what to do .

This is an item of mine that holds a special memory. You may be wondering what Compasses and Secret Agents have to do with each other so I’m going to tell you. When I was a little boy my parents used to watch the movies like Mission Impossible and James Bond. Well when I saw these movies as a kid of course I was amazed by all the things they did. So my dad had this compass lying around, since I was a kid I had a huge imagination. The compass was what every Secret Agent needed: A spy watch. I used to pretend it was like a walkie talkie and talk to my imaginary spy team. Whenever I was bored my little secret agent world never ceased to entertain me and it was a memory thats hard to forget.

I am from the future. My name is Victor. As some of you may know the world is ending. A black hole has been created near the Earth and we are slowly being sucked in. I am writing from the future to warn all of you. Advance technology quickly and get ahead. We have found a planet you could live on but we did not have the technology to get there. The conditions are much like Earth. The planet is found ne……..

The Constellation was a boat that harnessed the power of wind with sails. Modern ships like the Wasp get it’s power from steam turbines,boilers, and shafts. They also have a difference in weaponry. The Constellation had guns like the Parrot rifle and the Long guns, and shell guns. The Wasp has more advanced weaponry such as machine guns, missiles, and more. In the inside of the ships there are also many differences. All the crew members of the Wasp have individual rooms with air conditioning while the USS Constellation did not have such advance technology.  The two ships also have a difference in size. The length of the Wasp was 844ft and the Constellation was only 179 ft. The last thing is that the Constellation is now a museum and the Wasp is still in commission.

Here’s a picture of the Wasp:

Today im going to talk about whether you should believe in a strict or loose competition. I think we should believe in a strict one because if we believed in a loose one people could say that the Constitution did not mean that and it had a different meaning. Also many things would be different whether or not it is Constitutional. That is why i believe in a strict Constitution.
