We told Mr. Schick about Chinese New Year tradition that adults give money to kids. Mr. Schick refused to do so to us. But it's ok, we still love him.

Today in class, Arthur finally finished his presentation.
Mr. Schick showed us many videos of people parading in front of the white house. They all resist against Trump. Many of them wore pink and used lots of cool words.
Mr. Schick also showed us that on 6.5 1989, a group of Chinese young college students protested on the Tiananmen square trying to stop a tank.

Chap 4 questions
1. French people settled here first. They were doing well trading with native Americans.
2. Colonists protest British Acts by speaking, not paying taxes.
3. Because French have conflict with British; British tried to take away their lands. Native Americans felt that it was better to trade with the French than to lose their lands to British settlers. All have the same enemy.
4. No. Because there are not 100 percent of colonists who agree to fight British.
5. The most important battle is the Bunker hill battle. Even though the winner is Britain, it still gives colonists hope that they may possibly win the war in future because colonists killed twice as many British as they lost. This proves that the colonists are not weak.
1. The Acts passed in 1774.
2. The Boston Massacre took place first.

Presentation day

2017年1月17日星期二
Today, we were assigned with different events that happened during the American history. My event is battle on Bunker Hill.
Background:
Since the first battles in April, 1775, British forces had remained in Boston.
In order to break out of the city, they had to defeat the colonial militia.
The militia camped on Bunker Hill and Breed’s Hill in the city.
After the battle, British forces finally took Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775.
Although the winner was the British, they lost twice as many as the colonists.
Hearing about the losses, King George set up a shipping blockade to the colonies and hired German soldiers to help control colonists.
Even though the colonists lost the battle, they felt that they might win a war against Great Britain, because the killed more than lost.
Afterwards, the British sent 30,000 more troops to the colonies and they had set up a shipping blockade.
These actions intrigued the colonists that it was time to declare their independence from British rule.

still working on project
Today, we were still working on our project:
No race is superior than another. People must treat people from all races equally, which means to respect and no judging on their cultures, faiths, languages, appearances, properties. Any implicit or explicit discrimination on races are seriously prohibited. When such law is broken, this country loses its fundamental premise to be a pleasing, great country. People who intend to break such law shall be permanently expelled.

working on project
Today, we started working on our project of writing a new declaration for ourselves. Here are what I put:
People have the right to be respected for who they are as represented by their culture, languages, faith, appearance, and other objective factors. When these rights are undermined, people have rights to protest, fight, and stand up for themselves.
People shouldn’t be forced to practice any religious behavior which they do not wish to do, because religion should be free, not mandatory. It includes students who may choose to not to prayer, go to mass, or take religious class.

Monday, again...
Today, we watched a video on the American independent war. To be honest, I do not remember much about what that video talks about. My brain stopped working. I guess it might talk about how colonists united together and fought against Britain. And Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, yeah.. I know this one, at least.
We had a interesting project, which is to create our own declaration of independence. I'm going to criticize Donald Trump's stupid conducts recently for that project. He made lots of decisions causing China's exporting trade to become hard, and many big companies to lose money.

First day back
Today is the first day of school after Christmas break. I feel so sad coming back to school. The break was too short. I think I need some time to get myself back.
