In one paragraph, you will summarize the historical
time period or event that you have researched so far. In your paragraph, be sure to include:
● at least two specific details from your notes to help you
summarize the historical time period or event,
● a lesson that you think can be
learned from the historical time period or event and applied to the future, one that is supported by
the two details you include, and
● proper spelling, punctuation and
grammar.
The Battle of Bosworth Field was a very important event for England; it was the last battle of The War of the Roses (a civil war between England for the throne). King Richard III was slain in battle by Henry Tudor of the Lancasters (at that time England was in a way two countries but considered one; there were the Lancasters and the Yorks) on August 22, 1485. King Richard was known as "tumultuous" after he murdered his brother's sons for the throne; people could no longer trust him. Most of England didn't trust their king and no longer wanted him on the throne. Henry Tudor took the throne after the king's death. We can learn from this war to stand up for what you think is right. Everyone can apply this to their lives and the future because more things will happen; they might be right, they might be wrong but if we stand up for what we think is right, we can change the future.

DeleteThere are two settings you can use (which meets the standard of a minimum of two settings)
1.) The Battle of Bosworth Field. The sky could be cloudy and dark showing how tragic the event is
2.) The Kings death for the throne could also have sort of the same setting due to it being an assassination.
You could have it take place in the Castle. It could be very depressing and tense with all the fighting going around. Making it so people wont want to be there.
DeleteIt was september 11th 2001 when when the twin towers in manhattan were attacked. That same day the pentagon was also attacked. This day was devastating in total 2,996 people died from both attacks combined. And the damage was just as catastrophic as the deaths. There were over 9.3 billion dollars worth of insurance claims from the twin towers alone. Citizens and workers describe this event as a war zone, as there was debris coming down from the sky. The lesson to be learned is that some events are out of your control, and you never know what could've happened or what will happen. So you should always take advantage of opportunities.
ReplyDeleteWhat if you went on a grueling expedition that could cost you your life, one that could change how people feel about you? Lewis, Clark, and the rest of their team went from the atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean that took the over a year, but over the course of this journey they found close to 180 new plants,and they also found around 122 new animals. While on their journey when they discovered a new location they named it after expedition members, loved ones, Peers, and their dog. I think the lesson from history here is that when a hardship is thrown at us we still need to stay calm and work through it even if it takes us a while to complete.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion you could have added more to the setting because all we know is that that found new animals, new plants, and named new places you see we don't know if it was snowing if it was hot. We don't know the time period or what happened. Also we have no clue on what the sounds around them were like. like if it was loud or not. I think you could enhance the story by saying how they felt or if there was more emotion i think that would help a lot.
DeleteI researched tht September 11th terrorist attacks. The terrorist attacks shocked the whole country and it was very frightening. Nineteen men hijacked 4 American planes US commercial airplanes that were headed towards the west coast and 2,977 people were killed in New York city and Washington. Many people were killed and families are still mourning the death of their loved ones. The attacks on America came from a Islamic terrorist group called al-Qaeda. The attacks happened on the morning of Tuesday September 11, 2001. Kids my age obviously were not born yet but we can all still learn a huge life lesson to apply to our future from this. The lesson we learn is that we have to be careful not to trust other countries like this because it is possible something like this can happen again. Another lesson we can apply to our future is to protect ourselves and protect, love and cherish every moment with our loved ones because you never know when something like this could happen.
ReplyDeleteYour main character could be a stock marketer that failed when the stocks crashed. Your character can be a little sad and depressed, and he can be asking if he did anything wrong at the end. He can talk about the stocks crashing.
ReplyDeleteI think the way that you tell event the character should be someone who was affected by the Great Depression and their life and perspective on it. They should be affected by the Dust Bowl for instance, and their family gets ill. But then their to low on money because of the Great Depression and can't afford medication.
ReplyDeleteDevin, as your character, you could be Henry Ford. Henry Ford was very intelligent, humble, and most importantly, he believed in equality. Henry Ford can somehow be a part of a history that is in the paragraph by knowing that even if Henry Ford was incredibly smart, he still didn't come up with the technology that we have right now

ReplyDeleteYour main character could be a survivor from the 1% left in Hiroshima. You can explain the tragedy as if you witnessed it, to show it in more detail.
The launch of the "Columbus", the first ever space shuttle launch, was an important event. It ushered in a new form of space travel. But it actually wasn't that easy to successfully launch it. It was originally planned to be launched to days prior to when it was actually launched(it was supposed to launch on April 10,1981). The launch was cancelled as the countdown was ticking. As the countdown was ticking, the backup computer had a "disagreement" with the four main computers, causing the launch to be cancelled so NASA could fix the problem. As it turns out, the backup computer was a bit out of synch (synchronization). This took two days out of the scheduled launch time, and the Columbia launched two days late, on April 12, 1981. The lesson is even if something doesn't work out the first time, keep persevering, and eventually you will succeed.
ReplyDeleteYou could have a family member of somebody that died in the crash, and they could be depressed and sad. They could be talking as if there in a interview. The family member could have a perfect life and they after the crash it went very downhill.
ReplyDeleteI think your character should be like a firefighter or police officer and telling there pov. They can be seeing what the planes looked like crashing down and he could get injured and how he was an important rescuer in the situation.
ReplyDeleteYour main character should be Neil or Buzz or one of the spectators watching everything that was happening on T.V. and their reactions and life while it was happening.It could be a child who looks up to them.It could also be one of the people who sent them into space.It would show how nervous and excited the astronomers were.
ReplyDeleteYou can do someone who was later involved in the war. He can be really aggressive like one of the leaders per say that was in the was later. He could end up being injured and so on
ReplyDeleteA potential character that could be in your story Jackson, is a child from the 3rd grade that saw the bomb fall down from the plane. Since, the character that I suggested is a child, people would expect him to be anxious, confused, and paranoid.
ReplyDeleteI think that the main charter of your story should be someone who worked in a place were they created little objects in the war that was unique like a specialized weapon.

ReplyDeleteYour main character can be hurt emotionally. her/his family could be dead from concentration camps. After hearing the news or seeing her family die. She/he surprisingly escapes. Instead of running away he/she tries to help others escape. Explaining the horror that he/she sees while getting others to escape will really put the reader in the mindset of how terrible this was.
From Eveie Oppi:
ReplyDeleteYou could have a solider who was in the war and maybe got extremely injured during the war and was saved by the enemies or maybe gets saved by a nurse? love intrest?? and what happened after the war.
Your setting should be a concentration camp. You could have it dark and gloomy making it more miserable. It can be really quiet and have gunshots around.
ReplyDeleteThe setting could have many dead bodies around and small camps. The time or times could be early in the morning or late at night, but any time that would be good to sneak around at. There could also be some sand bags for protection. The sounds could be very loud violent gun shots and loud footsteps.
ReplyDeleteThe setting could be a car show or a garage with many cars in it. There could be motors humming in the background and people fixing cars. You could have a car show like logan said or some other fun event.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a good idea to go with night for your event.It would be dark and rainy yet windy and you run out and try to escape the titanic in the dark .This will help your main message because it will help describe the scene and how tragic and stressful it was to escape the ship.
ReplyDeleteYour story is really great but in my opinion I think there should be more information about the setting because yes we know that the battle was in Gettysburg But we know nothing about what the day looked like. And we don't know anything about the time period either. There may need to be more time to add in noises because its a battle so it would be loud. And was it possibly raining during this time could there have been thunder. I think something that might enhance the setting is what might be going through everybody's heads.
ReplyDeleteWill, the setting that is-perhaps compatible with your story is Pearl Harbor. Specifically, inside the USS Utah (The main ship targeted by Japan). The place that you could have in your story is right before, the ship sunk. What you could see or describe is the dark, smoky, and bloody (adjective) things that you see.
ReplyDeleteThe setting might be foggy and dark fran clarence and john all get outside and get across the water by boat.this will help your theme,plot and setting because its mysterious and scary kind of like there in hurry to escape because they need to get out
ReplyDeleteA setting that you could have Jackson is the aftermath of the bombings. Specifically, the foggy and lonely the place was.

ReplyDeleteAlthough they are in space and it may be darker than on earth, since this is such a big accomplishment, you can put in something about the stars lighting up really bright, once the two astronauts take their first steps on the moon.
From Akash:
ReplyDeleteI partially agree with Robert's earlier comment. You definitely should bring the scene to life with dead bodies around your character while he is fighting in the war. Describe what his senses are like while surrounded what his emotions are. Describe the weather, and describe the trench he is in talk about how they may lose the war, and end your exposition with confusion or mystery to fully hook the reader. Remember to back it up with facts about life in a trench.
