1.  If it were up to you to make the decision, would you let the sweatshop workers  become legal U.S. citizens?  Why or why not?

yes i would because they have families too, and with the little money they earn, how could they feed their families
if i cant make the legal U.S. citizens at least i would make them residents or something

2.  Describe a moment in from parts 1, 2, or 3 of this movie that you found particularly memorable? Why?

the first time they protested because it was the first time they took a chance and stood up for what they believed in.

3.  By the end of part 3, the protestors seem to be giving up hope.  If you were able to speak to the group, what would you say to them to inspire them to keep going?

i would tell them that no matter how hard it may seem, if you give up hope, you will never succeed.

1.  Who does Forever 21 blame for the sweatshops?  Why?

they blame the contractors and the manufacturers for the low pay of the workers

2.  What’s wrong with Forever 21′s argument?

they are trying to blame their workers but the problem is that they are the ones who give the money
they are the ones in charge, and they are the ones who give the money that pays the workers.
they give little money to pay the workers

3.  Why do the workers continue to protest even if it means they might lose their jobs?

they do it because they really want more money, so they are trying to get forever 21 to give more money to the contractors so the contractors can give more money to the manufacturers, and the manufacturers can give more money to the sweatshop workers

Made in LA

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia?  How is it different?


they both get less then the minimum wage, they both have families, and they both work about 12-hours a day. the difference is that the workers in indonesia are payed less, have a worse condition, and they have oversized rodents


2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops?  Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at Mcdonalds?


the poor immigrants need work that doesn't require papers, and the first place they find is sweatshops. they make so little money, they can't get out, the little money they make goes to food and shelter. they have no way out. they can't work anywhere else cause they don't have papers and they can't work without papers


3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie


i think in the end the immigrants will team up and find a way to go to the president of forever 21 and tell him there conditions.

An Odd Animal

An Odd Animal

The cluadias is an animal that has red fur with blue spots on its mouths and eyes. Its tail is shaped like a(n) rossette which it uses to screamed dodos. An adult cluadias may weigh more than 216532 pounds and stand over 213573 feet high.
The cluadias can be found only in new york and Canada. Although its favorite food is pizzas, it also likes to eat dogs. If you ever see a(n) cluadias, be sure not to ever sing “happy birthday.” That song makes it hariy. Instead, give it a few pizzas and be on your way.

An Invitation

Please come to a surprise party for Starr on 3000.
Lots of stupid pizzas and fries will be served. Please come to the party hungry!
There will be games, such as Claudia races, and a contest to see who can hunt the fastest. We will play lots of songs, and there may even be some singing.
The theme of the party will be funny robots. During the party, everyone can make a hat decorated with funny robots. Be sure to wear robs to protect your arms.
Since this is a surprise party, please be sure to arrive at least 6 minutes early. Everyone will be dancing in the living room. When Starr arrives, we will jump up and often yell, “wow!!”
Please don't talk about the party at school. It would be very ugly if Starr found out about her surprise party.
We hope that you can make it to the party. Please bring a small kylee for Starr. See you on 3000!

Techbrarian Distraction Test

a) Are you someone who normally listens to music while studying?  Why or why not?

yes because my sister is so annoying when i work so i lock myself in my room and turn the music up high to block her voice  out

b) During the Techbrarian Distraction Test was there any type of music that distracted you?  If so, explain why.

not really but some of it was annoying

c) Did you feel like your follow-up quiz results were accurate?  Why or why not?

yes because they were questions of what you read and if you were paying attention you would have got it right

*** EXTRA CREDIT (10 POINTS!) :  Explain at least three ways you would have changed the Techbrarian Distraction Test.  Describe how each change might effect the results.  For example, what would have happened if I added math problems instead of a story about Catin?

if you would have added math problems some people would have cheated and some got it wrong because they are not the best at math. it might have been better if all the question were shown and not repeated.

South African Children Push for Better Schools

i was looking through my emails one day and ms.Valle sent me this link. i went to the link and it was about african children looking for better schools. this is what i think about it. these kids marched to city hall because they thought they needed more education. this made me think that us kids in the U.S.A take advantage of the education we have and we don't care about all the rights we have and how free we are. these kids don't have that and i think that if we were in their place we would notice how lucky we are to have the education we have now.
the difference between our school and theirs is that:

Walking On Sunshine

together we'll walk happily

met mine
do you remember?

Eyes

eyes
you see though them
all thats right
 and all thats wrong
even the darkest day
you can see
even a small bright light
is in your view
every thing small
]every thing big
you can see
though the eyes
