Revised Intro

Years before African Americans were granted their freedom we had to overcome many obstacles to get where we need to be today. For example, we had to sit at the back of the bus, woman couldn't vote or, attend certain schools like Little Rock Central High School during the 1957-1958 school year. It was like we were being raped of our own lifestyle just because of the color of our skin. Several woman went through it all like Rosa Parks, Sojourner Truth, but most importantly Elizabeth Ann Eckford. Growing up in a community where whites were told to desecrate African Americans were hard for Elizabeth because the school she attended was majority caucasian students. She was only fifteen years old at the time so imagine how she felt to know that the whole school was against her and wanted her out. She has inspired me to become a stronger African American male, and she has inspired me to have a higher quality in life. That's why i chose to write about Elizabeth Ann Eckford.

(i like the word rape because we were being taking advantage of so i used the word and even though men went through the same thing the word could go both ways)

This website is a interview about what it was like going to an all white school as a black girl during segregation.

Thesis Statement

The African American female me and my partner (BRIANA) are working on is Elizabeth Ann Eckford. She is a woman of color who has fought for something that she feels is right. She was the first African American student to enter Little Rock Central High 50 Years ago. My position on this incident is that despite the obstacles she faced as an African American woman in the segregated world, of the 1950's, Elizabeth Ann Eckford had enough courage to attend Little Rock Central High, an all white school which threatened, hated, and put her through hell. Here is a video that shows you what Elizabeth was going through.

This website provides information on Elizabeth Eckford. You can go here to look at her childhood memories, what it was like growing up, her birthdate, and also what she is known for. It is something like an biography. We are going to use this website throughout our entire project if we need to.

For this weeks article I found it on this website http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAeckford.htm. I will read and summarize it for next week.

Topic Selection (ELIZABETH ECKFORD)

The person me and my partner (BRIANA) chose to work on for NHD was Elizabeth Eckford. We chose her because she made history as a member of the Little Rock Nine. I heard about her before but i've never done a project on Elizabeth, so I think that by me working on her for NHD would be great because I don't really know about her as much as I could.

Self Evaluation

For my grade in computer's I think I should get a B because I do my work regardless of my behavior in this class. I always publish my service learning updates and any other work that's supposed to be done, and if I don not do it that is because I am not here but I always do my work!!

Independent Hours

For my independent hours I had a total of 19 hours that I completed. I helped tutor kids at a recreation center in Germantown when I was over my grandmother's house. I help clean the neighborhood which I live in. I also helped cleaned Shiheeda locker, and I tutored Briannd Byrd.

Service Leraning Last Week

Last week we formed a can drive. We painted boxes and made posters to inform people about what we are dong. I made an announcement on the loud speaker to let people know what we are doing, and when time we expect the cans to be turned in.

Service Learning From about two weeks ago

For service learning we talked about forming a can drive or going to a can drive and helping give out food. Mr Ackermann called poeple to see if we could join but he did not receive an answer. And we also looked on the computer to see where there are homeless shelters are. Then we lefted.

5/02/08 Service learning

Last week Mr. Ackerman took us around the block so that we could see how many homeless people we could find. We were trying to figure out how we can prevent homelessness and we are trying to put together a fundraiser to get money so that we can make ziploc bags with hygiene products.

Service Learning Update For week 4/25/08

Last week in our service learning group we talked about what things we might need to give to the homeless people. I made a suggestion that we should put some hygiene products into a Ziploc bag and pass it out to homeless people on the street. Mr. Ackerman was explaining to me that clothes, and food are nice but when he used to work in a homeless shelter a lot of people where coming up to him and saying, "I will do anything for some toothpaste" etc. Later on that day Mr. Ackerman took us to the place down the street where they make money at because we discussed how much money we needed to raise and he took us there for some encouragement. I enjoyed it

Service Learning>>>>UPDATE

Last week while we were at our service learning groups we talked about beautifying the school because the whole theme of the group is "School Beautification". We talked about putting a chair and table set outside of the school and put plants around the it to make it look "pretty". Also we talked about making lounges for the students and putting a television and games inside of it so that we can have a second option instead of going to lunch.

Service Learning [Updated]

I want to work on the Leukemia project because that was my first choice, but now I think I am working on “Beautify The School” unless the Leukemia group have more openings.

Update for Service Learning

Ideas for service learning project

For the service learning project I would like to do something that would change the life of a person on the street. That's why I am thinking about helping the homeless or giving back to the community. I have thought about doing the flower project but I am not in to planting flowers around the school. I would even help give the homeless food or clothing, or I could help plan a fundraiser and give money to a charity. I am still thinking about what I would like to do for my project.

My Ballard Spahr Experience

My experience at Ballard Spahr was very interesting and exciting. I learned several things and I would love to go back and spend time at the law firm. When we first arrived at Ballard Spahr we ate breakfast and then were introduced to our person we was assigned to shadow. I was assigned to Tamar Jergensen. She is an attorney at law and a woman of business. As the day went by we went up to her office and talked. We talked about green house gas, which is the name of a group she is working on, and we talked about what she does in her office. She called Ms. Carol in Hawaii and talked about to go over a few things regarding green house gas, and she also gave me a sheet she wanted me to review and give her feedback, and possibly find any errors. Mrs. Tamar spends most of her time on the computer because that’s where 90% of her work is, and she also uses her phone a lot to talk to talk to people all over the world. She is very humorous and she also knows how to get down to business and get focused on her work. I enjoyed seeing what she does on a regular basis, and I enjoyed just being at a law firm. If I could then I would thank her a million times for taking up her time and accompanying me. While I was there I interviewed her, and asked her things regarding her job. She had a positive attitude about the whole situation. I am very grateful that Mrs. Tamar went out of her time to attend my needs. I would love to go back there and do it all over again because she is very inspiring. I learned that being an attorney is not that bad once you sit and talk to an attorney and let them explain to you in detail that being a lawyer is great. She proved to me that being in a courtroom is not boring, or intimidating, but is exciting. It felt like she enjoyed what she does, and helping people was her main goal. If I could then I would say THANK YOU!! Once again.

NHD Reflections/ process paper

The topic me, and my partner are doing a documentary on is the Franklin Institute. We chose to write about the Franklin Institute because we are both familiar with the Franklin Institute, and it would be excellent to learn about the Franklin Institute’s history and why it was built. Before we began researching our topic I knew that Benjamin Franklin played a big role with contributing to the Franklin Institute and I also knew that the Franklin Institute was first located on 7th and Market at the Atwater Kent Museum. Also, my partner knew that Benjamin Franklin had a lot of influence on the museum, and he knew that it was about science. Prior to researching our topic we both discovered that the Franklin Institute opened schools, and we also got information on when the Franklin Institute was first opened and who discovered it which was two young Turkish men in their late or early twenties. We both conducted our research by attending the library to get sources, use the internet, and get books. The most important resource is going to be the book, “Philadelphia’s Philosopher Mechanics” by Bruce Sinclair. We both would have to agree on that because this book provides a lot of primary and secondary sources that would be helpful towards our documentary. We used several different varities of sources but we mainly stuck with the book because it is very helpful. There were several challenges that we faced but we stuck through it and overcame our challenges. One challenge that we faced when Matt attended the interview and I was not able to go because he got out early. We overcame this obstacle by staying focused and focusing on what we came to do, and that was to finish our documentary. Me and Matt chose to create a documentary because we both have never constructed a documentary before and this would be interesting because the kind of work we both would bring to the table, and plus we thought it would be easier to do a documentary then to write a 2,000 word paper or do an exhibit. We took a couple of steps to get to where we need to be in completing our documentary. A few steps we took was going to the library, staying after school for about two and a half hours and, and our editing our movie. There weren’t really any major conflicts besides the interview but like I sad before we overcame it and handled our business. Our project relates to the theme conflict and compromise because the conflict is that before the Franklin Institute was built the United States citizens were not able to go to a place where things were hands on and they could not educate their self on the science world until the Franklin Institute opened because they had that chance, and that is where the compromise come in. We also interviewed the curriator of the Franklin Institute. He was a big help towards our documentary and I would like to thank him. His name was John Alviti

Biography [Richard Wright]

The character I am writing abut is Richard Wright. I am writing about him because I have never heard of him before and it would be interesting to learn about someone new. Richard Wright was born on a Mississippi in 1908. As Richard was growing up, his father deserted him and his mother became very ill which brought him and his brothers to an orphanage. Richard did not have proper schooling up to the age of twelve, and by that time he reached the ninth grade, he moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he began writing. Richard was always poor and almost always hungry, and his suffering from things made it hard for him in school because he was lacking books. Richard was a hard working person who tried to make it in life and cared for others. After he moved to Chicago his career began because he became involved in radical politics, and in a short time he joined the communist party and began writing for leftist magazines. By the time he lefted New York he had begun Uncle Tom’s children. Richards caring personality led him to a successful career because he stuck up for what in and he loved what accomplished. When Richard was young he knew that he wanted to become a successful writer and make a change throughout society. He prepared for his future by moving to Tennessee and pursuing a writing career when he was about fourteen or fifteen. His contributions was important because he was the first African American to be chosen for the book-of-the-Month club, and his story the Black Boy became a bestseller. He changed the world by being the first African American to be nominated for a book. What you should know about Richard Wright is that he is a amazing writer who never puts anyone down. The most impressive thing that I learned from him is that when he was in ninth grade he traveled to Tennessee to become a writer. In ninth grade the only thing I was worried about was books and the next grade, and for him to travel to Tennessee at a young age is incredible because he was young at the time. Richard has inspired me to try to strive for bigger things in life and have a open mind. If I could be like him then I would just try tot ravel around the world.
