My Visit to the Japanese American National Museum

1. What did you like most about the Japanese National Museum?
-The thing that i enjoyed the most about the Japanese American National Museum was when we did oragami because I actually learned how to make a steamboat and shirt, which was pretty cool and fun.

2. Name one thing you learned.
-I learned that J.A.C.L. (Japanese American Citizens League) was involved in the 1963 March on Washington and that many years later after many Japanese were put in imprisonment camps the government gave the surviving Japanese a letter of apology and 20,000 dollars which seems a very little apology for what they went through.

3. What did you learn about the Japanese Experience?
-I learned that even if the Japanese weren't from here they brought their own bits and pieces of their culture to America. I also learned that they respect a lot more things than we do and that there are three generations (Issie, Nisei, and Sansei).

Pay It Forward

1. The theme of this movie is that we should try to do nice things for people and that it's just that easy. The message that it tries to convey is that we should all try to do nice things for people and it's almost no effort on our part.
2.The character i found more interesting is Trevor because many people would've given up if it failed the first time and he kept trying until he didn't know but it spread all the way to L.A.
3.I would have these two best friends who wanted to try pay it forward and travel across the country to help people and it actually works and they actually help people because of pay it forward.

What do i think about this activity

This activity (the angel/chosen one) i think had somewhat effect on the 9th graders because most of them didn't really take it seriously. I think that they were more concerned with other things and that maybe they ended up telling their angel that they were their angel in order not to lose 50 points.
I think if it involved the 10th or 11th graders it would also be the same (as above) because something like this isn't what really clicks in people's mind that this is important and in the end they tell their chosen one.
If we continued this activity for the rest of the year it will be completly ignored until the deadline and then they will actually do something nice for their angel. Anyways this is a thing that most people can't keep a secret and if you don't know who your chosen one is and you go up to them and say they need help it's obvious your their angel and it completly gives it away.

My Chosen One

Right now i have no idea whatsover who my angel is. If he/she ever did something nice to me i haven't noticed because i've been the one who's trying to figure out what to do for my chosen one. Whoever has not done something nice for them then you lose 50 points and i don't care since my mind has been elsewhere and if you have done something nice and i didn't notice my apologies.

Chosen One

What i've done for my chosen one is that i've helped him in his homework. He was stuck in his ethnic studies homework and i re-explained the directions for him. He got what he was supposed to do and then definetly understood what he was supposed to do. I did something nice for him and this is proof i did do something for him.

Anything I want

Right now i'm really bored and stuff and i don't know what to write about. I'll write about that i asked Mr. Carr if he took a picture with Guns N' Roses because My friend Waldo said that he did. Mr. Carr told me that he didn't take a picture with GNR but he did take several pics with Living Colour.
