Wednesday was like Tuesday we had to listen to Ms. Ingram. Omg my eyes were closing but I can't go to sleep because then Ms. Ingram will hit my desk. THURSDAY i wan't here friday we were watching the movie it is cool

Tuesday 8,2009

I'm so glad that we don't have to do bellwork Because I'm really tired of having bellwork. And the other thing that I'm happy is that Ms.Ingram didn't made us write the notes. I think Tuesday was a really nice day because we didn't even had a quiz.

Monday 7, 2009

Monday we had our test and I was pretty upset because I was doing my study guide but I lost it and I'm not going to get extra credit. I turn in my notebook so that would be okay. I'm not so excited that the semester is almost over.

Fresh start.....................YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!were watching the movie today(i think)

This movie seems to be good so far, but i didn't like to see those people get shot like that. It isn't far that those men and women had to die like that.

i DiDN'T GET 2 THE END TO WATCHED SCHiNDLER'S LiST.. SO i AM FORWARD 2 SEE THE END.

i WONDER

i WONDER iF WE COULD TRAVEL TO GERMANY OR WHERE ALL OF THiS OCCUR. UMMM... iT WAS CRUEL WHAT WAS HAPPENiN iN THE MOViE LiKE WHY THE GERMAN SOLDiER GRABED THE OLD GUY N SHOOT HiM. THAT WAS CRUEK WHEN i SAW THAT THE FiRST TiME i WAS CRYiN N SHOT.

THE LAST WEEK

OMG!! FiNALLY WHEN iT WAS GETTiN BETTER HOLOCAUST iS OVER ... i WANT 2 GO 2 A FiELD TRiP AGAiN ABOUT HOLOCAUST. i AM WORKiN ON MY STUDY GUiDE N i AM ALMOST DONE BUT i FORGOT THE CHEAT SHEET iS JUST THE FRONT OR BOTH SiDES. WELL WHY MONDAY THE CARD iS DUE CAN SHE GiVES TiLL TUESDAY

Ok So I also wanted to write about a terrible nightmare I had last night. I think the class is getting to me a little, or a lot, because I had a dream about the Holocaust. It was really strange in the beginning because nothing made sense and then it just got scarier and scarier. I feel a little bad saying this because I have no idea what it must have felt like to be in the Holocaust, but my dream was terrifying. And everything we learned about was in the dream and it went on forever and seemed to never end. It started out that I was in a ghetto like the Warsaw ghetto. and lots of wierd stuff was happening and they were unsanitary and lots and lots of strangers and lots of evil nazis who laughed at us. And there was a HUGE rodent. it was disguisting. And then they were doing selections and then later we were in a line waiting to get food and the evil nazis said one person took too much so they made the people at the front go to the back and wait even longer and it was loud and scary and there were barbed wires and wooden crowded train cars. It was terrible. Has anyone else had any nightmares about the Holocaust?

I'm really sad that this class is almost over because it was a great ride! and I'm going to miss it. I like the group and I'm going to miss my buddy behind me and ms. Ingram's humor in class.

I have nver seen that movie and i am scared because I think that so far it is a little graphic! I am happy that Ingram was able to finish four chapters and fit in a movie! Good job Ingram! I honostly believe that I did learn a lot in this class! I just feel sorry for the other guys because they are going to wirte all of thier notes and we had some of ours printed out! :) Next I have Publications!

;)

I have been working on my study guide and I think that this exam is going to be the hardest! I hope that I pass! I was reviewing the novel but I htink that the first one was reallly boring! I can't believe that after all of this complaining, we got through this class! I remember I was scared but I can see that it is ok. We got through this together guys! ;) I am just really scared about this final! I don't think that any other final is going to be as stressful! I had a blast Ingram!

Today we continued watching Schindler's list, but we didn't finish the movie. that movie was so crazy, I mean the SS shot Jews just out and in the open. Schnidler had a wife and a girlfriend, that was another thing that I just couldn't understand. I found a scene in the movie so ironic, the part when the lady was trying to tell Schnidler the building was going to fall. he didn't want to listen, so he shot her then decided to tell them to take it down....that was crazy!

So, today we finished with the notes. Which by the way we didn't have to write. Thank God because we would of taken longer. We started waching the movie. I never seen it so it seem a bit confusing. Hopefully I get it by tomorrow. We also got our study guides. And let me tell you its pretty long. But we can do it for extra credit. Ms. Ingrem also gave us a notecard that we can use for the test. This I think will make it a bit easier because there are many dates and vocab we need to remember.

Today was a good class, we were able to finish all of our Chapter notes. we also were able to get our studyguides, and watch only a few minutes of Schindler's list. now all we have to do is our LAST project, studyguide, and final. it really seems like this week is going by so fast, and it's so ironic because I remember our first day of Holocaust class.

12/10 Tuesday

Today we finished up notes really fast and got our study guides =0
and watched like 6 minutes of Shindlers list,, =]

I think that even though all the Jews that were killed for rebelling I still believe it was a success. They fought for a suprising amount of time. Although they died im sure they still died proud that they fought back. I think the Jews still succeded because it scared the Nazis that they were rebelling and it did give them something to think about. It was just another thing Nazis had to think about. But what im curious to know that i wonder how Hitler felt when he found out the Jews were rebelling and how he felt when he know they were going to loose the war. I wanna know if he felt foolish? Or scared that all the people in Germany were going to be angry with him. I believe if he was such a brave guy he wouldn't have took the easy way out by committing suicide.

Chapter eleven and chapter 12 have veen my favorite chapters because at the beginning the Nazis were so sure they were going to be a thousand year empire and it's just great to read how they began falling part and how scared they were. I thought it was pathetic how the Nazis were trying to get rid of the Warsaw ghetto by Hitler's birthday!! That was one of the most rediculous things I heard in this chapter!

Today was a good class, we finished Chapter 11 notes and started on Chapter 12. Chapter 12 was quite interesrting because we talked about the sonderkommandos digging up bodies, taking anything valuable, and then burning the bodies. I was thinking to myself, that it was a good thing we didn't have lunch today! then they would put grass over the bodies like nothing happened. it seems like this week is going by really fast, I felt weird not being able to do bellwork in class today.

Man, this week seems to be going by fast. So today we started doing notes again. We're doing chapters 11 and 12. Which by the way we don't have to write because Ms. Ingrem gave us the notes. I'm glad because after writing notes for other classes by the time I got into her class I was tired of writing. So hpefully we don't write notes no more.

Today's class was a good class, we started Chapter 11 and 12 notes. we talked about the Warsaw ghetto, and the resistance groups. I found this chapter to be interesting because although the Jews/ resistance groups didn't last long, they still had the courage to fight against the Nazis.

11/7 tuesday

today we read over sum notes about warsaw ghetto and how some of the jewish people resisted by forming 2 armies.. and how the first little battle they had and how the jewish armies beat the nazi's!! =]

Today was a good day. We began Chapters 11 and 12. Ch. talked about armed resistance groups. Even though they groups were not successful, they did try to defend the honor of the Jews and of humankind. It talked about Mordecai Anielwicz and the Warsaw Uprising. I did my research paper on him. It's crazy how the armed resistance groups managed to fight for four months and Poland surrendered in less the a month.

Today's test was pretty easy for the most part. I hope the exrta credit helped me out for the answers i got wrong. I cant wait to start watching Schinlerz list:). Thank God theres no reading quiz tomorrow:)

Today's test was challenging!!

Worry for finals. :]

Monday..

Today,.... the test was hard because i didn't study but, I skim into my notes.. and so .. I think I would have like 13 to 30% meaning an F. O well, thats what I get.

Tuesday

It was great to have a speaker. But, I would off like to meet somebody that was in the concentration. I have a lot of doubt and questions. aw www :] I really want 2 go back again. but, Ms. Ingram I would love to go where all this happen because I think I would learn more... But, the place I would like 2 visit is where Anne Frank family was in hidden. and the concentration camps.. Do you think there are museums where all of this occur.

tUESDAY

Obviously WE WENT on a field trip to the Holocaust Museum. I was scared because you Ms. Ingram sounded like if they would of hurt us. But, over all it was like a any other museum but, with a guide. It was cute 2 see a little dress... I was impress to see too many passports. and some clothing of the Jew on concentration camp,...I was scared to go to restroom too. can u believe it. The cool part that I like was the little view of hidden that Anne frank had.. the little horsey.

WOW...

ON MONDAY WE WENT OVER THE RULES. SCARED TO GO...

So, today we took chapters 7,8,9 and 10 test. I though it was going to be some multiple choice. But it wasn't it was all short answer. I found it to be a bit difficult. I couldn't really remember everything. But at least it is over with. The good thing for these last day of school is that there is no more bellwork or quizs. I just hope that the study guide isn't that long or the test. I also hope that we get the study guide this week. so that I could get started as soon as posible because I got other teats to worry about as well.

Today's class was okay, we took a test on Chapters 7-10. I think I did good/okay on the test. I kind of got a few things mixed up like what kind of profit the Nazis made off of the Jews, but other than that I think I did pretty good. Now we have to read Chapter 11 and 12, after that is finals, then the project is due.

Today's class was okay. The test was pretty easy, except I got confused on a few things. I was stuck on the concentration camps. The words are hard to pronounced, so remembering them was pretty hard. The death camps were easy to remember. They were listed on the extra credit section. Lets see what I get when Ingram grades them and gives them back.
I'm getting pretty worried about finals, especially Ingram's. 13 pages is a lot. My brain's going to be fried afterward.

Im glad we only have about a little more than two weeks of this class left. I hate always having to blog cause i'll be in bed and i remember that i forgot to blog and then i have to get back up. Atleast we didn't have it as bad as the next class. Theyll be having to write down ALLLLLL of their notes. I have no idea how Ms.Ingrams able to teach the same exact thing all over again.

I just finished studying for tomorrows test in Holocaust. I better do good cause im pretty tired. I had a hard time studying the concentation camps bacause I kept getting them confused with the death camps...grr. I still cant believe are final exam is gonna be 13 pages!! Im gonna be freaking out that night.

Rutka's Notebook

I finished my project. I like Rutka's story because she said everthing about her days in the ghetto. She sounded so brave and seemed to deal a lot. Rutka was very mature for her age and I'm glad to have been able to know who she was and about her experiences.

Fixin the notebooks!

Everybody has to check their notebooks to make sure they have all their bellwork, vocab and notes! Ingrams checking notebooks tomorrow so get ready. I'm almost done with mine :]

Holocaust Museum

The Holocaust museum was very interesting. Though I didn't much like our tour guide, I liked looking around and reading everything. I learned a lot of things just by wandering a little on my own :] I definatly want to go back on my own real soon.

I can't really remember what we did on Friday. I do remember taking notes and my hand hurting from all that writing. At least we finished them. Oh yea we went over the test that we are having tomorrow. It is over chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10. Which I believe it is our last test before finals. It all seems to be going so fast it seems like it was yesterday that I walked into the class. Well, don't forget to study for tomorrow:)

This week in review....I guess.

Working on this power point. I read this book but for some reason it seems harder to do the review. I forgot the book so finding the names of her friends is difficult. I was skimming thrugh the blogs and eveyone seems to like the Field trip. I am scared about this test and final! I hope that I do well in both because I think that the final will be the hardest. I also hope that Ingram prints out the noest so we cn move faster on the chapters. I can't believe she wants to cover all of these chapters before we end this class. I hope we can blog about the semester at the end! I actually like this blogging thing, I have never pictured my self doing this. It just seemed like somehting new. I don't like that we have to do it that often but I guess it helps us too! ;)
I didn't know what to put as a title! ;)

The speaker!

The speaker was the best part! I think that she was very strong to speak to is because it takes courage. It takes a lot of courage to talk about a great tragedy, especially something like that! I loved how she said that she felt that this is something she has to do because not many survivors are left! It is on us to keep this story going, we need to tell others that this happened and that it was a tragedy in many people's lives. I loved how she said that she doesn't allow her children to wear "Religious" jewlery! She made so much sence!

The Trip!

So it was so much fun! I was glad that I had a chance to talk to a Holocaust survivor! I was a little worried about what I will see, but everything was interesting! I have to admit I did cry a bit! I had this bad feeling when we walked into the train! I was able to feel the people riding the train to their death! I would hate to be put in that situation and not knowing what the outcome would be. I loved how the room about "The Night of Broken Glass" was designed! The building its self was well designed. I had lots of fun on Tuesday.

Omg...Lots of notes we neede to write down.We did chapter ten notes and it was a lot of notes. Chapter ten notes were the jews fighting back.Resistance means to oppose fight back.Jews fought back with religion history and traditions.The governer passed anit semetic laws.Omg we need to do study guide for mondays test.We also need to make sure notebooks are complete so we can turn them in.

Also i remember when we walked in to the room with many videos.That was also very sad because lots of pictures were shown.Also i really liked the Kristallnacht section of the museum.When we went into that room with lots of the names and they were getting bigger and changing colors was cool.I never imagine being a meaning to that.I didnt ike being rushed because i wanted to take my time and look at everything a little bit better.I also got many ideas for my final project.

Well monday was a good day. We spoke about the museum. Omg about the Museum there is a lot that I really liked. The museum was so sad it broke my heart. I couldnt believe everything the jews had to go through. The train in the museum felt like if we were the jews boarding the train. It even smelled like the trains they were boarding.The room we went into was very sad becasue it was like time to think about everything the jews went through.The speaker broke my heart just saying her life story.I couldnt believe she still remembered lisening to the nazis footsteps when getting both her parents.

Friday.

We took notes lots of notes and then we talked about our test. I'm going to study because I really want to get a good grade if I don't I have a chance for the exam. I'm starting on my final project because I still need to buy the things because is a painting and I really want to take my time. I've been waiting for this project since we started Holocaust class.

Tuesday.

I really liked the museum but it would be better if we saw everything. I really wanted to see the documentary where they show how they really killed the Jews. The part that I was really waiting for was the speaker. It really touched me when she said she came to U.S and her dad got married again and left her to the side and she really didn't had nobody because her mom and grandmother died. So sad.

Monday.

Most of the period we were talking about the field trip. I was pretty excited I really wanted to go because Holocaust is one of my favorite subjects. So monday we didn't do much.

Today was a good class, we finished our Chapter 10 notes. We talked about the Jews fighting back, and how some Jews killed themselves afterward. it was kind of cool that the Jews finally stood up the Nazis, especially the young boy that was praying then slapped the SS guard. we also have a test on Chapters 7-10 on Monday, studyguides are due, and the book review powerpoint is due. wow so much to do!

I forgot to mention something else about the trip. I don't think there are words to describe the feelings I had when we saw the train car. The first time I saw it from above bc we were on the floor right above it. That made me cry. It was incredibly surreal and heartbreaking. But actually going to see it and going inside was the worst. I felt like I could sense the terrible, inhumane, and downright evil things that happened there. I felt like it was almost kind of disrespectful for us to be standing there and for it to be on display. I mean I get why it's there but it somehow seems very wrong to me. But I'm glad this museum was built because this is the least that we could do to honor all of those who died.

SO I wanted to comment on the field trip. It was intense. But such a great experience. meeting a Holocaust survivor and hearing them talk about their life was on my bucket list so now I can die with one of my big goals accomplished.

So, today we got back on notes. We started chapter 10. It seem like a long time since notes. I had already forgotten how long the notes were. My hand was already hurting from all that writing. But at least I made it through the whole class. Although it seem like a gloomy day and with all the notes I was getting really tyerd and getting sleepy. Well at least I didn't go to sleep.

Today was a good class. we started on Chapter 10 notes today, and we talked about our powerpoints. well for those that want extra credit it'd due tomorrow, I'm almost done so I'll turn it in. we were also going to do vocab, but we didn't have enough time.

Checked 2 Weeks in a Row!

Hey Guys!

I was a bit behind so I just checked the last two weeks of blogs!! :) 15 of you are doing quite well but there are 4 of you who are not keeping up on blogging!!!! Grades will suffer if you don't keep up!!!!!

Ingram

Well, today was a worried day. I though we were going back to have class. But I guess Ms. Ingrem had to take care of some bussness like always. Which was a good thing because I got to finish some work that I had missed from the Thanks Giving Feast. After wards Ms. Ingrem came in to talk about what we though about the trip. Everyone got to exprace what they though. Although I forget to manchin about the road car how I felt the smell. I felt that the smell was still there I guess it was because of all the dead bodies and all the things that happen there that the smell is hard to go away.

Today was a good day. we didn't have that much time in class, but everyone got a chance to talk about what they liked about the trip. I liked the trip overall, but it would be kind of cool yet a little scary if we visited one of the camps! well we won't be taking Chapter 7-9 test on Friday, it has been moved to Monday, and our powerpoints are due on Monday too!

Today was the trip. I have to admit when we first got there I was pretty nervous that the alarm would go of on one of us. But it turn out to be that we all did good through out the whole trip. I found it to be very introsting. What I liked the most was the models that they had . It showed me more of what things looked like. Looking at the things that belonged to people kind of scared me. It was so sad to see the things because it made feel like they were there. But the saddest thing for me was waching the vides.

Todays field trip was very interesting. Definetly something I will always remember. One of my favorite things that we did was when we went on the train and we actually got to see what it was like in there. It was so weird to know that people were acually in there. I enjoyed every momoent of it and I hope I get to go again. It was the best field trip:)

Today was a GREAT day!!!!! today was our Holocaust trip, and I had a remarkable time. I am soo glad that I had the opportunity to experience what the Holocaust was like. everything about the museum was fantastic, it was very informative. when we first arrived to the museum, I was a little nervous because the building looked like a prison. I thought the inside of the museum would look scarier than the outside. I enjoyed every little thing about the museum, especially the survivor that told us her story towards the end of the trip. I could tell the survivor was kind of struggling to tell her story, but she had the courage to continue on.
