Almost Adults Model UN
On May, 5,2011 we went to Model UN. First we went to the auditorium there they give us a opening speech were they talked about what would we being doing. We went because Ms. Trenkle had us doing a protect about differnt subject such as refuges and immigrants and HIV & AIDS. So they put them to differnt subject in differnt rooms I was in refuges and Immigrants.What I learned from the experience is that a moderated cause is different from a un Moderated cause cause one you can walk around and one you cant. What I like about the trip is that you felt professional and older. One question did not get to ask is why you can not clap after someone talks. What I would like to change is to be able to clap after someone talks.

"America I Am"
We think the title "America I Am" means that we are americans. After viewing the "America I Am" exhibit we thought that black history is very important. We thought this because if the people back in the day did not fight then we would not have the equal rights that we have now. One object that affected us was the alpha kappa alpha jacket. This jacket represents one of the things black people couldn't do because of segregation. Also black people fought for rights on the train and equal rights. One case that gave black people some rights was Plessy v. Ferguson. A quote from the case was "Seperate But Equal".

Mockc hearing
Mock Hearing
Mock Hearing was an exciting event that was a real thrill experience. Mock hearing was an assignment in which in a group would come up with an paper about a certain topic in history. though its been a while i do not remember what me and my group members had did but i do remember all of the research and typing we had to do. It was like a competition we had to get the best paper to move on. Though my group did not win we had got an interesting experience in working together as a team to create a paper that could win. it was disappointing to not win or get a metal but we did get a memory. I remember having to go up and read my sentence then havin to answer questions that i did not know but using context clues to figure out the answer. Though it was an exciding experiance and knowing i might have to do it again in high school i hope im one of the lucky onces who does not have to do it. I say this becuase though our question person was cool and stuff i just felt bored doing it. But overall experience was O.K.

''Tuskegee Airman''
Who are they
The Tuskegee Airman are a very famous group of African Americana's, they are known almost all over the world. Well even if you do not know them the name tells you something. Tuskegee Airman... Hmmm. Well i know from the name Airman it has to do with the sky. well if you are thinking that then you are almost wright the name does give away what they are. The Tuskegee airman were piolits that flew for the air force and were good at it. Some was flight coontroll some were fighter piolits some were even secret servess. They all have different jobs and took each job siriusly. They were a group of courages men that flew for many of purposes some was to prove that the skin color does not effect the way that they perform some just did it for the contry but i belive they did it to prove that they were just like any body else tat has steped foot eaither on a plan or ground or house and many many more.
What did i learn
What i learned from the Tuskegee Airman was to ''belive'' in yourself and you will make it, ststed in the movie that Ms. Trenkle had nicly let us watch. But that is not it ststed in my paragrph obove that it dos not matter the color of the skin becouse it will not effect the way that you perform. I personally learned that if you have a goal taking small steps is the way to get to it as well as needing courage. I learned this from the movie how they arrived on the base and everybody would treat them like trash but they kept at it no madder what put them down. well pluse it was apart of the Aircore so i guess you have to be ready for that but they still kret there wa to their goal even if not all had survived.
!A Visit!
Well just a week ago i can remember two of the many Tuskegee Airman had took a visit to Stuart Hobson 8th grader's including myself. Though we as a class did not realy get to meat him he did stop by our class and tell us of a cool program including teenagers to learn to fly. It was some camp to were they teach you how to work a jet. I thought it was prety cool when i herd about it and i know i was not the only one who thought that was cool. come on think about it flying over the potomice river sitting down going faster that 102 MPH that hast to be an exelerating ride in fact im thinking about doing it. But in conclusion to end this up my overall experiance with everything that i have said had to be one of the coolist things weve done and i hope this isnt the last. I hope everybody should have this experianc all over the world.

A lesson we learned from the Tuskegee Airmen
A lesson that I learned from the Tuskegee Airmen is to keep moving forward. I say this because although many people doubted them they always kept moving forward. Many people thought that Negros couldn't fly but they did what no negro has done before. They also opened doors for future African-American pilots that wanted to fly in the war. Another lesson I learned was to never give people the satisfaction of putting you down. I say this because everybody critized them about flying in the war. But they didnt care about the comments and did what they believed in and achieved their goals.

Tuskegee Airmen can teach you alot of things
What the Tuskegee Airmen taught me in the movie is to never give up and don't give any body the satisfaction of u quiting because in the movie tren thought that they killed Walter peoples and he was ready to leave and Annabel lee told him to not give them the satisfaction of you leaving.
And another thing I learned was to not let peoples words get to you and just ignore dumb things like that because that happen throughout the movie they had to go threw ever because the white man didn't want them to be good a airman. The last thing is enjoy what you love even if other people don't like what you do because all of them wanted to be a Airman and the white man did not want them to succeed during the process of becoming an airmen.

Mock Hearings
In the Mock Hearings I learned about all the different units in our class. The Mock Hearings helped me by talking about the powers and how they are limited. The unit I did was unit 3 with James,Amaat,Hezekiah,and Kofi. The paragraph I had was "What powers do the congress have and how do the Constitution limit it?" The congress has the power to enforce laws, start a war, and many more........ So this helped me by showing me all the powers of the congress and the powers of the president and the powrs of the constitution.

The Stuart Hobson Mock hearing
The mock hearing that we did was talk about the presidents powers and what they cant do. The president has the right to do many things such as to in force laws. He also has to ask the congress and the congress has to vote on it. We didn't win but we think we did a good job. Something else i learned is that if the president dies the vice president has to take over for the rest of his years. James question was what was some of the powers the president has and how the Constitution limits his powers

Where's Matt With My Gum ?
Our activity was about Matt. Matt is a dancer that works for stride gum and he goes around the world dancing. Ms. Trenkle showed this in class because she wanted us to know about different cultures. She wanted to show us what it is like in different countries. In these two Countries London, England and Turkey these guards were very serious. The countries Matt danced in were India, Texas, California,Washington, D.C, Japan, and so on. The most interesting one was the one when Matt did their dance in India. We found it interesting because he learned their dance and did it with them instead of his dance that he does. We learned about the different countries and their culture and their heritage.

Just who is Sandra Day O' Connor
Sandra Day O' Connor was born August 26, 1930 in El Paso, Texas. Her parents , Harry and Ida Mae day owned a cattle ranch in Southern Arizona called Lazy B. She was hired and replaced by a women. When she retired she gave obama the opportunity to pick his Supreme Court Justice. In 1981 Sandra Day O' Connor became the first woman to serve as a justice in the 191-year history of United States Supreme Court.
What i experience today is that it is not the easy to be in the supreme court justice. You have to decide on cases that your not sure about. I also learned that you get elected to be a senator. 1 big main idea that we took away from this activity today is that we might not have asked as many questions as needed. Also that people did not talk more to make it a little funner.

Stuart Hobson vs Shaw
This blog is about our win against Shaw. The day started off very normal. We went through the whole school day waiting for this game to happen. When it was after school we went to Ms. Trenkle then went to the cafeteria like we always do. We ate our snack and went to the gym. When we got to the gym the coaches gave us our game pants and we went to go get our equipment from the equipment room. After we got dressed we waited for the bus and talked to our friends for a while. When the bus came we had to walk to the front of the school to get on the bus. A lot of parents & our peers told us good luck while we were going to the bus. When we got on the bus everybody got a assigned seat and zoned out into football mode. A few minutes in the bus ride the head coach,Coach Kip, came to talk to everybody to tell them to have a good game. Then we got almost their Mr. Witt gave us a speech on what we were capable of in the game. He told us to we can wear them out in the 4th quarter but they are gonna hit us hard in the first 3 quarters.Then we got off the bus and waited for the coaches to tell us to go. When we got in the stadium we saw Shaw sitting down and we looked at them and we looked at them for the whole time we were walking to our spot on the field.We sat down and just stared at them to give them a look to make them scared.Then we went down to the field and prayed. After we prayed we did our warm-ups. We got checked for the people who had asthma. After that we started running plays. We practice on blocking and tackling.The starting line up for the game was Me(Elliott 54)Center,Amaat(Right Guard 39),Jarret (Left Guard 94),Karawn(Right Tackle 92),Quarvez(Left Tackle 72),Henry(Quarter Back 7),James(Running Back 22),Nicholas(Fullback 5),Tarrin(Tight End 44),Calvin(Wide Receiver 1),and Michael(Wide Receiver 12).They got ball first. After the kick-off our defense stopped them from scoring and getting the first down. We got the ball and on the 3rd play Nicholas scored off of a Counter left and a block by Amaat. Then they got the ball and we stopped them again. On one play the full back of Shaw ran for ten yards and I(Elliott) tackled him.On a counter left gone wrong Jarret ran into Amaat and Nicholas had no blocks and one person from the other team grabbed by his jersey and somebody else came and hit him and he got injured :(.Then in the 3rd quarter Nicholas scored a touchdown off of a Counter left.Later in the third quarter Henry threw a pass to James for over 15 yards on a screen play setting up for a touchdown.Then later Henry scored off of a QuarterBack freeze play. When they got the ball #42 ran passed Calvin our safety and then Calvin hawked him down and stripped the ball from him and Quarvez picked it up and ran for 10 yards and then got tackled. Calvin saved us from them not scoring.The 4th quarter came and I saw one of my team mates Terrel(6th grade) getting punk by a player from Shaw team. Then I said that's enough and pancaked him and did it play after play after play. The clock was ticking down and we just kept running the ball til' the clock ran out. When the clock ran out we started to shake hands after the game was over and then we celebrated with the coaches.After our celebration party we got on the bus and was talking about Jefferson(Our next game). When we got back to the school we put our jerseys in one pile and our pants in another. Then everybody just left.
