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,

● proper spelling, punctuation and grammar.
The Greco-Persian is an important time for the history of Greece.The lesson is to persevere. Such as how the Greeks persevered through the tough times and beat the Persians.There were multiple battles like the battle of Marathon and the Battle of Thermopylae.The Battle of Thermopylae was very important it was when Athens and Sparta teamed up which they never do. Athens and Sparta hated each other.Their leader Alexander the Great had died in 323 B.C. But the Greeks had won the war.
ReplyDeleteI think that from the way you tell the story, and the perspective that you tell it in, your character would not directly be a Greek or a Persian, but rather a spectator of sorts. Someone who was around the war at the time, but did not fight. Someone neutral.
DeleteImagine if you lived in the World War 2. A time period where all of the citizens of the world were lacked of money, food, and freedom. These causes are all from the leaders' mistakes that they have made during that time period. However, after almost 74 years later, the people have learned from the mistakes teat their past leaders have encountered. Mistakes like the former of president of Germany assuming that Hitler, will be the next president of Germany. Also, at the time of his presidency, he created the holocaust. He has joined the hatred of Jewish bandwagon. Therefore, he has/is hated by all the Jewish community.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had a ping pong battle with somebody who really likes it, and then you win, but they come back and get pay back because they were mad? Yeah that's basically what happened with the viking age. One story of this is the story of Erik The Red, and his whole family was killed over him killing somebody else. Erik had to move to Iceland because of the incident. We should never provoke anyone with no cause, but that's what Erik did and he was almost killed for it. All of Erik's animals were killed for his actions too. We can learn to be nice from this. Don't automatically act better than somebody, even if you are.
ReplyDeleteMy topic was on the mayflower. And how there was a giant storm that took out a giant beam on the ship. And how the crew had a giant screw to put it back in place. And they had a map to direct there way around in the ocean to build houses on land. And the lesson to the may flower and what happened is to always be prepared with supplies like a map and tools.
ReplyDeleteThe Discovery of America takes place in the 1490's where Christopher Columbus claims to have been the first to discover America. When Columbus Arrived in what would soon be called America. The Native Americans greeted him with jewelry and other things of great value. Columbus then only saw this as a profit and and a new settlement for him, so him and his men enslaved the Native Americans and forced them to work. After about a week he brought English men and women there as well and with them they brought diseases that the Native Americans weren’t exposed to, leading to many deaths. After many years half of the Native Americans were dead and remained enslaved.
ReplyDeleteI agree with zach your character should be a sailor. The twist is this sailor is happy traveling with columbus just annoyed that he wasn't finding any land. Then when they got there he doesn't like columbus for treating living being's (the Natives) like some sort of slave for all, and after that he should leave and sail back to italy and live life the fair way.
DeleteHave you ever been forced to do something that you didn't want to do? Most Slaves were forced to do anything the slave owner wanted. Slaves were mostly treated poorly.If you were a Slave and did something wrong(talk back,hit your owner or say no) punished.They were always treated as property, not people.When you were given to your owner, a lot of times they didn't even know your real name.Most times you were separated from your family.Slaves always worked on the field.You would often work from sunup to sundown.They grew crops like cotton,coffee and tobacco.Most Slaves barley even got to eat.Slaves had no money,no choice and no freedom.The lesson you can learn from this is be grateful for what you have.Slaves had to fight for freedom.
ReplyDeleteI think your Character should be a slave. I think your characters name should be Jessica Slave. I think you're characters point of view should be her trying to escape.
DeleteI think you're setting should be in the middle of no where where, you are forced to be a slave and are trying to find a way to escape. The setting will have dirt and big hills,it will basically look like the desert. This will change the mood of the story because, you will have no help and starve to death on your journey but you will eventually find your way out! I Wish You Luck with your story!!!-Troy

ReplyDeleteThe battle of Iwo Jima is known as one of the bloodiest battles the United States has fought in. The U.S. had an advantage over Japan by using camouflage and ash-formed dugouts. The U.S. Marines also used code-talkers, know as the Navajos. Navajos were the only people to know the language before the Marines inherited it through teaching. The code was never broken by the Japanese, and the battle was won by the U.S. in 1945.
you could use a navajo and him/her is a spy for the japanese and how the americans find out.
DeleteThe setting as one of the spots of a camp of american soldiers, maybe even a sniper hiding spot in a ash covered area as the snipper watches soldiers travel onto the battlefield.
DeleteYou could be alice kyteler she was a the first ever witch
ReplyDeleteI think the main character should be in a colonists point of view. I think the Name of the character should be Collin Colish. The characters personality should be and angry one that doesn't like britain. The character could be part of the history by maybe being good friends with one of the soldiers not realizing that he is an actual Britain soldier than one day realize he is a soldier and Do something that shows you are angry and hate british soldiers.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read, I think your character could be a survivor. Their personality could be logical, and fearless so they could escape. Them escaping would make it possible to tell the story. They could be a good part because the people who survived went on with their daily lives.
ReplyDeleteI think that your main character could be a survivor of the attacks, you can use a popular name from that time period and from the country that was bombed. The character might be traumatized by this experience and has lost most of his/her family and friends. This is a very good topic to make a story out of.
ReplyDeleteFor a suggestion for who your character can be-it could be Ash before her reincarnation, like she wanted to be involved with this war to help her father. So her personality could be:she has a short temper, does what she wants, tomboy, and she is blind to how cruel the war is. Also her father I think should die protecting her in the the other side won the war giving her depression, and eventually she stabbed herself out of grief that she could not bear to hold any longer, and to experience the same pain her father did during the war, and how much pain he was in to see her walk out the door to the war.
ReplyDeleteWhat you can do is you can make a character that has lost his or her home. They did not have to many jobs back then so maybe you can bring that up to.

ryan you could have your main character as a newsboy who did not want to act the same and protest.
ReplyDeleteI think your character could be a young girl that was one of the wealthier families (maybe a relative of the President) that didn't suffer that much from the Great Depression. She can at first be ignorant to the suffering around her but then come to know the truth of the Great Depression; she then can help the people around her that are suffering. She could be brave, stubborn and daring. I think you choose a very good topic to work on.
ReplyDeleteYou could make up a character that is trying to help others get past the wall. This character could have some type of hidden tunnel going under the wall, and maybe even how he/she gets caught doing it and he/she sacrifices themselves to hide the others and still get them through.
ReplyDeleteI think that your main character could be a writer writing a story about the civil war.
ReplyDeleteOr your character could be a history teacher teaching about the civil war.
I think this because, you tell the story in the past tense, so you can't be telling it during the war, it has to take place after the war is over. Also, the way you tell the story, it sounds like you are telling the story to an audience or a class of students.
I think your character could be a spy for the Brittish.
ReplyDeleteYour character could be the captain of the Titanic. They could be smart, caring, and selfless. Their selfless tendencies could make it so they save the passengers first. Back when the titanic sunk, it was usual for captains to be male. If you were to make the captain male it would add the the effect.
ReplyDeleteThe water was a little too cold to be able to swim for five days (people died of hyperthermia in minutes). However, I like Jacob's survivor idea; it would just need to be a little more realistic based on what happened.
ReplyDeleteThe setting should be in Africa when a tribe got invaded. This could give of a sad or scary mood, the setting would probably look like a Savannah with huts or mud homes in western Africa the most common place for slaves to come from.
ReplyDeleteI think the setting could be peaceful, you could describe the titanic as a peaceful, relaxing trip. Then things would get chaotic when the titanic starts sinking. I think this would be a good setting because you can describe the titanic as the people saw it before it sank.
ReplyDeleteFor your setting you should definitely start it either the day before, day on or day after this started. I think it would add twist to your story. Your setting could look like everyone around you is confused, amgery, and sad that they weren't being smart about their actions. For mood the theme should be depressed, stressed and confused
ReplyDeleteFor your story you can have one of the settings be a prison or a court.
ReplyDeleteYour setting should be at a grass field that is not near a lot of towns. A place near town. Where your character or someone else kills innicent people in the city. That's all I have got for you. Good luck with your story!
ReplyDeleteFor your setting, you could make it take place in the military grounds. They could look sorrowful to really show how hard it was during this time. You may want to also emphasize the bombs sounds, or cries of the helpless.
ReplyDeleteI think your setting could be in a old, poor town that not many people know about or is not "popular". The most important people of the Revolution could live there and meet there to make plans to rebel against the monarch. The people of the town would work hard to get food and shelter. I think it should be in a almost "unknown" town because then the monarch would not expect them to be there.
ReplyDeleteThe Time period or event going on in the story should be after the berlin wall was put up and you also want to see your family so you work with others to climb/dig there way to the other side. The setting should look like violence. The message should be to stay calm during times of war/rebellions
ReplyDeleteFrom Lexie Smith:
ReplyDeleteI think your setting should be on a football field with all the players ready for the big game. It should be a big crowd of people and it should sound like people cheering and the yelling of the football players. To enhance the mood of your story you should add the banging and clinking of the players helmets.
