The Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was a very reasonable way to make peace with the other countries and Germany.  The reason I think it's fair is because Germany admitted defeat, and they agreed to it in the first place. And secondly, they treaty with Germany was just supposed to keep them from doing any more harm to other countries, for example limiting the amount of ships they were allowed to have and the amount of soldiers. Germany could have said they didn't want to end the war and keep going, but instead they admitted defeat! They agreed and signed the treaty, they don't have the right to say it's unfair. So to sum this all up, Germany brought it on themselves and it's no one else's fault.

Religious Heros

What are the character traits and actions of a religious hero?
Most religious icons believe strongly in their religion. Therefore they are loyal. I also feel that it's hard to obey all or most of the teachings in a religion, if you are going to obey all of them, it becomes your life. And when it becomes hard to live a life by your religion, you need strong. And that is another trait that most heros have. Religious icons are also very brave. They need to make sacrifices for what they believe in. That takes courage. The reason why their aren't many religious heros is because of all those reasons. Not many people, in fact, almost no people have the determination to become a hero like that.

This I Believe

I chose the story called The Ultimate Sacrifice. It's about this man in the war, who loses a friend by him driving a car delivering food and hitting a land mine. He was talking about how he was always physically prepared for war. But never was he prepared mentally. He had to deal with the mental agony it caused, he was responsible for his well being. What would he tell the parents? The troops? I strongly believe that "The Ultimate Sacrifice" is literally putting your life on the line for what you believe. And the people that do this, should be in everybody's minds. Truly amazing.
Hi everyone, this is Lily and I am going to tell you about my learning profile. I learn best when I sit a couple rows back to the left of the front of the classroom. I need to do more cross lateral activities like knitting and other things to strengthen my left brain. Strategies that would help me learn would be hands on projects. For example, making models, drawings etc. I would like my teacher to know that I try hard to be organized, but sometimes it's a struggle. I am also very busy, and I get tired easily and don't always do my work to the best of my abilities. Thanks!

Hercules Summary

Zeus wanted to create humans, so he asked Prometheus to make them for him. He made them out of earth and clay, but he made one mistake. Prometheus wanted to make them superior, so he stole some fire from Mount Olympus. Zeus was outraged, and he sentenced him to be pinned to a mountain and have a bird eat his liver everyday.
