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.
Terrorists easily brought box cutters and knives onto the planes, Terrorists lived in the U.S.A more than a year before the attack. I think a lesson can be learned is to increase airport security and run background checks on everybody when they are flying so there is zero risk of any dangerous people.
ReplyDeleteYou could have somebody who lost somebody close to them in a terrorist attack and even years later still can't get over the grief of losing them.
DeleteYour main conflict could be the attack of 9/11, and your main character could be Osama Bin Laden.
Deleteyou could do like a compare and contrast,a point of view from Osama bin laden and the other like someone else who was on the plane or someone's family was on the plan and died
Deleteif your doing someone who isn't on the plane who isn't a terrorist then your character should be very shocked but scared at the same time.or if they are on the plane they should out of their mind scared
DeleteYou didn't mention a specific event but i'm going to assume you're referencing the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I suggest you write your story based on an Al-Qaeda member who helped prepare the attack. Alternatively, a worker who is forced to jump from the towers, or onlookers. There's many perspectives you can write from. Also, your lesson. Airport security has been boosted already. The lesson is supposed to apply to our lives and possibly our thought process. For instance, what use would a lesson about the need for desegregation have if we've already desegregated? Maybe your lesson could be about taking precautions in all instances?
DeleteYou could do it in perspective of someone that works at the airport when they were checking the terrorist.
Delete2.9 children are killed in afghanistan every single day. The taliban also attacks females, they don't support females going to school or doing anything outside the house without covering their faces and walking with a male. Those who violate this are often killed. We go to war to protect the people who cannot protect themselves and to protect from terrorist attacks on our homeland.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could have a child in Afghanistan going through this. Also they could have lost a friend or family member who violated the expectations.
DeleteYour main character could be a female having to deal with the problems in Afghanistan.
DeleteA good main character could be a woman that is stubborn, and won't follow these rules, and is not afraid of the consequences that will lay upon her by not following the rules.
DeleteThe main conflict could be around the inequalities between people. The conversations should be around why they do such actions.
Delete--> In World War Two the United States had been developing a super weapon, the first atomic bombs. A super weapon so powerful it could break glass from 50 miles away. The blast radius so big researchers were not positive the plane could escape the shockwave even with a 40+ second head start. Close to the end of World War Two the U.S. was waiting for a Japanese invasion and needed a way to end the war fast. The president of the United States at the time authorized the use of the atomic bombs on Japan in hopes of ending the war and saving many American soldiers' lives. The price was that 210,000 Japanese civilians died so that America could end the war. In war not everyone can be a winner.
ReplyDeleteyou story could be from a soldier's point of view and how they feel when they are launching the bomb
DeleteI think it would be cool if you have more information on what happened to the Japanese after the bomb hit. Your main character could be someone who dropped an atomic bomb, or someone who got affected by the bomb.
DeleteThe main conflict is that the atomic weapon killed a bunch of people.
DeleteThe american people should be really happy while the japanese should be happy that the war is over but angry because they lost.
DeleteGreat start. You have a ton of perspectives to write from. I suggest writing from the perspective of the pilot that dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. I'm sure they had strong emotions, seeing as they were the cause of a quarter million deaths. Writing from the perspective of a survivor would also be good. You could describe the world around them as total and absolute hell. That's something I would definitely read. I'm sure others would as well.
DeleteYou could write about somebody who is witnessing the bomb as it flies down from the sky, and they could be scared but not for themself, but for other people.
DeleteYou could do a POV of the person dropping the atomic bomb and how they felt
DeleteRacism is a big problem, and it still exists today. Sometimes people hate you for your skin color, or you religion. There are many cases of racism, the Holocaust was just the bloodiest case. Over 11 million people were killed, and not just Jews. Children, disabled, Queer, witnesses, as well as many others. All because of racism. Because they were different.
ReplyDeleteyou could do something like the character is in the concentration camps and how they feel.
DeleteYou could write from the perspective of a Nazi soldier and what goes on in his head when he tortures or kills.
DeleteYou could write from the perspective of a jew in another country.
DeleteYou should say what the Germans and the People that where in the camps dressed like and how they acted when they got captured or got family taken away. and maybe a character talking to another character about how to escape.
DeleteYour character could be scared of being a prisoner of the Nazis, but would also show bravery when it comes to the lives or wellbeing of others.
DeleteIn some places in America in 1957 it was a mess with black and whites. Blacks were starting to get treated more fairly but they got the old things. While white children had great school buses and wonderful schools the black children got old busses and old and maybe dirty schools. You could live next to someone and have a completely different world then them. There was also different restaurants and bathrooms for black and white people. A lesson that you could learn from this is that back then people were judged how they looked and just by one look at you, you were either put into one group or another. No one really looked at the inside of someone whether or not they were kind and nice. It was all about what they looked like. So now we can learn to look deeper and see what they look like on the inside not just there skin color.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do like a compare and contrast like you show a black person's point of view and one for the white child's point of view and put it together
DeleteYour main conflict could be around racism. I would also specify some of the things black people had the old version of.
DeleteYour character in your story can be a little black boy who is scared of how white people frown upon him but makes a friend who is a little white boy and they learn about each others worlds.
DeleteYour main character could be a black person being jealous at how much better the white people's lives are.
DeleteInclude a black child trying to explain to a white child that they are in completely separate worlds. An have them display anger that the other child isn't understanding.
DeleteThe 1960s were a big change in time. Fashion and overall appearance changed a lot. Men started to wear funkier suits; moving away from the classic Italian style. Girls were wearing bright colors and patterns as well. In the 1960s people learned to get loose, and get funky. From tie-die and hippies, to everyone wanting to surf. The 1960s experienced big change.
ReplyDeleteA main conflict could be a big event that happened during that time... what were the big changes?
DeleteYour main conflict could be a man that doesn't prefer to dress funkier gets bullied and harassed just because of his plain appearance.
DeleteYou could write about a week in the life of somebody during that time, like what they do in the morning to night.
Deletealso what it was like on a everyday basis. What did they do?
DeleteThe emotions in the story should be mostly happy and light-hearted. You could show this through conversations talking about popular jokes at the time and include lots of slang.
DeleteYour main conflict could be a teen with parents that don't approve of the new style. So they lie and cause problems.
Deleteyou character could be very cheerful and her appearance should be looking like all of the styles
DeleteThere's potential. You could write your story from the perspective of a psychedelic using civil rights activist who protests the Vietnam War. The 60s was heavily influenced by activists and psychedelics as well, so I think it would be appropriate to mention these in your story. Describing the visuals your main character sees while psychedelics could really be amazing.
DeleteIt’s September 11, 2001. The usual busy morning in New York City. Everyone is up already, the morning bustle is almost over. As you’re walking to work you see the terror, a Boeing 767, loaded with 20,000 gallons of fuel crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, seventeen minutes later it comes crashing down as another plane comes rushing into the South tower, you were just headed to work there, if you were up anytime earlier it could’ve been disartaurs for you, and maybe you wouldn’t even come out alive, along with the 3000 other people killed in the 9/11 attacks, and 10,000 more injured. In fact only six people made it out of the towers untouched. So, some things need more attention, like airport security, sometimes it’s too late, and unfortunately it was in this case.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is when 9 11 happened and if you went to work just a little bit earlier you could have died.
DeleteYou could write from the perspective of a search and rescue dog, and experience what is going on in his head as he travels through the rubble of the Twin Towers.
DeleteYou could have your character be part of the search team, trying to find people in the rubble and trying not to give up.
Deletea main character could be someone working in a nearby store who could see the planes flying in. could talk about their reaction (probably very surprised and scared). There could be a cop in the store and other cops on the walkie talkie asking him for help. then the worker realizes what's happening.
DeleteA good main character for this story could be a son or daughter that has a parent in the Twin towers at the time of the attack. That son or daughter will be devastated and very frustrated with what happened.
DeleteA good main character could be someone who's nearby the buildings, and witnessing it live. They would be very confused and nervous.
DeleteOne minute the 1980 USA hockey team was a bunch of college students and the next they were winning the first game in 5 years against the USSR. Herb didn't want a bunch of star players, he wanted players who were willing to endure the brutal training he put on them. To make them great hockey players he picked open minded people willing to go the extra mile, and to play as a team and work hard together, and become a family. A lesson to learn about this team is you don't need to be the greatest and you don't need the greatest teammates to win. You need to have the strength to push through together and become the greatest.
ReplyDeleteThe main character could be the best on the team. All the others are jealous and make fun of said main character. But they didn't listen and continued to be amazing at hokey.
DeleteA player on the team could be overcoming conflicts with other players well also enduring training. Also the player could feel they doesn't deserve to be on the team and that everybody is better than them.
DeleteYour main conflict could be a college student that really doesn't want to play hockey is convinced by Herb to play hockey, and the college student becomes one of the greatest to ever do it.
DeleteYour character could be nervous, and tired of the intense, brutal training. He could start as one of the worst players, and slowly, with a lot of time and training, work his way to the top.
DeleteYour main character can be one of the soviets team players and how suprised they were to lose to a bunch of college students. The character will feel guilty and sad about the loss.
DeleteAnd your main character could also be very stubborn, and not willing to play hockey, but he is as grateful as he could be after his hockey career is over.
DeleteWorld war II has been known to be the deadliest crisis in human history. Roughly 60 to 80 million people had died during the brutal warfare, and the people that went through it will be forever changed. It had all begun with the insane ambitions of Adolf Hitler, and his desire to wipe out the Jewish religion. He formed alliances with Italy and Japan, and invaded most of Europe, throwing all of the Jews in concentration camps throughout europe. This period was known as the Holocaust, and resulted in 4 million Jewish deaths. After many years of fighting, the war was finally over as Japan surrendered. This war truly brings out the horror of warfare and how terrible it is to mankind. This shows how in times of war, no one comes out as victorious. Everyone suffers brutal casualties and unrecoverable losses.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict of your story should be how awful wars are and how terrified people are during them. Your main character should be one of the soldiers on either side, the character should be scared and brave.
DeleteThe main conflict is that how bad world war two affected the united states and other countries on how bad this war went down.
Deleteyour character could be like very rough because if you do a soldier but if you do someone who's not a soldier they should be very scared.
Deleteyour main character could be a soldier in the war and their experience with that or a little kid that was captured and doesnt understand whats going on (obviously is very scared).
DeleteYour character should be from the perspective of an Ethiopian that watches as Italian forces invade and occupy their land. research the Italo-Ethiopian War. Or, your story could be about Japanese soldiers and the atrocities they commited. Might I add, Hitler wasn't getting rid of Judaism (although he made great efforts), he was trying to kill Jews. Members of the Tribe of Judah. Not followers of Judaism specifically. The Axis powers made an odd attempt at getting rid of Israelites. Italy invaded Ethiopia, a place where Jews live, and Germany committed genocide towards Ashkenazi Jews.
DeleteWorld War I was happening, and no one wanted to report on the new Spanish Influenza. Patriotic parades swept through cities, blissfully unaware of a deadly virus taking root. Spain Was the only country that reported freely on the virus after the King caught the virus himself. This lack of information caused many unneeded deaths as unknowing citizens got together and threw parties. The USA didn’t want to seem weak in any way, it was frowned upon to write about “news that might lower morale of the people.”
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThe main conflict should be about what it's like to survive through these awful things that happened around the world.
DeleteYou could write about somebody who travels around to gather as much information as possible to write about the virus.
DeleteThe people should be outraged because information was withheld. The behavior of people should be passive aggressive like.
DeleteHave a character that wants to create change she could learn about the virus and try to explain it to people. When they don't listen the character could get angry and try to cause chaos.
DeleteYou could do the look and sound of emotions by explaining how they felt when the flu got out
DeleteBlack Americans faced problems with segregation all throughout history, even today. But that didn't stop protesters of all races and many famous activists such as Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks from trying to make the world equal. I think a lesson we can learn from the civil rights act is that the world is better when we see everyone as an equal individual no matter their race.
ReplyDeleteI think a good main conflict would be a white man that protests for racial equality to try to convince the rest of his family, who are against racial equality, to support and protest for racial equality.
DeleteI think a main conflict could be a little black american boy who doesnt understand whats going on and his parents try to explain to him what's happening. He's confused on why he can't drink from the same water fountain as another white boy his age.
DeleteThe main conflict in your story should be about a black man or women that is protesting all the time to get the freedom they deserve.
DeleteThey could be outraged and also look up to famous activists and try to behave like them.
DeleteYou could describe how they behaved and felt when they were judged
DeleteI think an interesting basis to your story could be a little black or white child who meets someone of the opposite skin color and befriends them. They don't see a difference between them. Their families aren't happy about them becoming friends. You can talk about how they realize what's wrong in their community.
DeleteThe people of Guatemala experienced something tragic on october 1902. The stratovolcano Santa Maria, had erupted. Many plantations were built around the volcano due to the fertile soil the volcano's ash and coal were giving. Since the volcano erupted those plantation were badly damaged. Also their coffee plantation they were very important to people of Guatemala, and were completely ravaged. Although the fertile soil can be used to build plantations, around a volcano. You shouldn't build a big plantation near an active volcano because you never know when it could erupt.
ReplyDeleteYour story could be about a young Guatemalan who watches the eruption happen. The main conflict could be about the young Guatemalan helping to rebuild their community.
DeleteYou could write about somebody who was planting on his plantation, and soon after sees the volcano erupt.
DeleteYour character could be someone working at a plantation near the volcano, and getting affected by the volcano. It would be interesting to see what happens afterwards as well!
DeleteYour story could be about a mom who had two kids and had to help her kids survive through the terrible natural disaster. The mom will feel terrified and will have the need to save her kids.
Deleteyou could do someone who is a plantation owner and there plantations have been affected by it and how they are fixing it.
DeleteThe date marked December 7, 1941. It was another morning at Pearl Harbor. But unlike any other morning, hundreds of Japanese aircraft landed a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, a large naval base in Hawaii. Several U.S. ships would eventually sink, Including the USS Arizona with over 1,000 men on board when it sank, and the USS Oklahoma with 400 men on board when it sank. Though this Japanese attack was unexpected, the U.S. was previously warned three times at the possibility of the attack. This unfortunate attack goes to show that you should prepare for the worst, and take everything you hear seriously.
ReplyDeleteA good main conflict for your fiction would be the Japanese bombers willingness to bomb Pearl Harbor. Are they hesitant to cause so much damage? Or are they determined to take down their rivals?
DeleteYour main conflict could be that someone had watched this happen and saw the attack happen maybe from far off and he or she knew someone one the ship that sadly died.
DeleteYour character could be someone in a high position, who was warned several times that the Japanese were attacking, but didn't listen.
DeleteYour main character could be an officer at the harbor directing the area as the attack happens.
Deleteyou main character could be someone on land looking at all the destruction and trying to stay safe
DeleteYour main character could be a normal everyday sailor doing their job when the attack starts.
DeleteThe Salem Witch Trials stretched from June of 1692 until May the following year. During this time many people were accused and imprisoned of being witches. 19 people were hung for being witches and 5 died in jail. At this time in Salem there were many troubles including an epidemic, political strife, many were poor and Native Americans were at war less than 70 miles away. Because of all of this it was easy for the citizens to blame all their misfortune on the supernatural. What we need to remember is that you shouldn’t blame somebody or something just because it is easy to blame them. When they did that in Salem 24 innocent people died.
ReplyDeleteI think that your person could possibly be accused of being a witch and have to clear her name.
DeleteMaybe your character could have known someone that was accused of being a witch.
DeleteA good main conflict could be a singular witch trail, maybe one you find very interesting? Or you could do a story on them as a whole?
DeleteYou could have your character have a family member who keeps accusing their enemies of being witches and trying to convince them to stop.
DeleteA good behavior of your fiction character could be the confused and worried "witches" being wrongly accused.
DeleteYour character could be someone accused as a witch
Deleteyour character could be someone who was accused of being a witch or one of her family members that got accused
DeleteIn 1954 the Vietnam War started, there were 58000 American deaths and 150000 were wounded this war was a bloodbath. This war was the most unpopular, everybody wanted the American army to back out of the war, but they kept on going. there were 2 million Vietnamese deaths but they did not give up. A lesson that could be learned here is to back out of a fight that nobody will win. When this fight was over in about 20 years there was no winner it was not a war it was a massacre.
ReplyDeleteA conflict in this could be that the fight wouldn't end and kept getting worse.
DeleteYou could have your main character be a soldier or possibly a person trying to stop the war in America.
DeleteYour character could be one of the terrified citizens who lived on the battle ground, or the family of a soldier in battle.
Deleteyour character could be a soldier in the war that is trying to win the war for like his wife or something
DeleteYour main character could be a high ranking commander sending in people and knowing they might not return.
DeleteOn September 11th, 2001, the United States faced a terrible tragedy. Four planes were hijacked by 19 people associated with the al Qaeda terrorist group. The four planes each had an intended target. The first and second plane crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, killing a total of 3,000 people. The third plane had hit the Pentagon, and finally, the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after heroic passengers stopped the terrorists from hitting the intended target (the target is still unknown, but The White House is a suspected target). Although this was a terrible tragedy, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. In fact, the 9/11 bombings had been planned for years, and many warnings had been given out by the terrorists stating that they planned to do something terrible. Additionally, the hijackers all got through airport security. At 5:53 a.m., hijackers Abdulaziz Alomari and Mohamed Atta boarded a plane from Boston to Portland, and weren’t even suspected. After 9/11, the U.S. realized that we needed to be more cautious and take more security measures. Now, we are much more careful, and we now have increased airport security, for nobody wants another tragedy like this to happen again.
ReplyDeleteI think you could do one of the heroic people that took the plane back from the hijackers.
DeleteYour conflict could be a family that lost either a mother or father that died in the attack and they are now trying to survive without them.
DeleteYour character could have seen the crash happen.
DeleteA main conflict could be of a family member of someone who died from the attack.
DeleteYour character could be the person inside the north tower.
Deleteyour character could be one of the firefighters and he could be super brave and persistent about getting everyone out of the towers safely
DeleteYour character could be a first responder that was in shock about 9/11 and how they would help people.
DeleteYour character could have been by the two towers and was trying to get home safely with their parents, the character could be scared or brave.
DeleteA strong country thrives when everyone does their job and does their job well. The police, the fire department, the military, etc. On September 11th, 2001, airport security failed their job and let 19 members of al Qaeda hijack 4 planes by smuggling box cutters and knives. At 8:45 the people of New York City would pay the price. A Boeing 747 loaded with 20,000 gallons of fuel struck the north twin tower, Many people in the building and everyone on the plane died on impact but some would say those are the lucky ones. Others trapped in the burning building suffocated and burned to death. Some jumped out of the building to shorten their suffering. At 9:02 terrified citizens watched as the second plane hit the south tower. People who believed it was a freak accident now understood that the United States of America was under attack. Some of the terrorists had been living in America for a year or more living as a citizen learning to fly planes. If further back up checks were taken these people would have been imprisoned or removed from the country. Due to lack of airport security almost 3,000 innocent people died. Hopefully the country of America will never face a day as dark as 9/11 again.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflict could do with a Firefighter trying to save some people from the twin towers
DeleteYour character could be someone who saw the planes hit and the towers collapse.
DeleteYour conflict could be someone who's survived the attack and is still traumatized.
DeleteYour character could be somebody who helped others get out, and suffered from severe injuries because of that.
DeleteYour character could be very brave and try to help people and comfort them.
DeleteIn hockey, the Soviet Union hasn’t lost since 1968. They won 5 out of 6 gold medals in the winter olympics, and were the greatest team during the olympics. The US has a lot of young amateur players, and their average age is only 22. In 1980, everyone thought the Russians were going to win, but then the US ended up winning. Miracles can always happen at unexpected times.
ReplyDeleteThis is good, I liked how you brought up some facts. Just a piece of advice would be to add more detail, because the ending was so abrupt.
DeleteA main conflict of your story could be the building of stress for the American team and their fans and how the team copes with that stress.
DeleteI think a way you could create a main character would be to display their attitude through dialog by adding in some tone to the voice.
DeleteYour character could be an extremely frustrated Russian on the olympic team, who is extremely upset about losing the olympics.
DeleteYour character could be a surprised hockey fan watching from the stands. They could have a lot of dialogue, and behaviors that show excitement for the US hockey team.
DeleteOn February 22 1980 the USA olympic hockey team played the Soviets in semi-finals. The Soviets were considered the best hockey team in the world at the time. The Soviets won gold medal 4 years in a row. The USA team was put together in one day, all the players on the team were young and no one thought they would have a chance except for Herb Brooks the USA team coach. The USA team went undefeated and ended up playing against the Soviets in semi-finals. The USA team pushed hard against the Soviets and won 4-3. The lesson learned in this story is that miracles can always happen.
ReplyDeleteI think a main conflict for this story could be the fear of going against Soviets and how scared the USA team would be going against the best hockey team of that time period.
DeleteThis is good, but I think the central idea should be either on the whole tournament or just the one Semi Final game. Right now it's pretty split 50/50
DeleteMaybe your character could be on the USA team and you could show them playing against the Soviets
DeleteI think your character should be very timid and scared, constantly nervous and worried. After the hockey match they will gain confidence in themselves somehow.
DeleteThe character could be confident and full of hope. This can apply to the Soviet Hockey team OR the US coach Brooks.
DeleteYour character could be very shy and timid or if they are a big patriot they could be confident and arrogant.
DeleteIn December 2019 a new virus was found in Wuhan,China. Later being classified as covid-19. The city spent 76 days on strict lockdown. No one was allowed in the streets or out of their house unless necessary. After those 76 days their lives went back to normal. If we follow the rules and work together we could stop the spread.
ReplyDeleteA conflict that you may have in your story is someone struggling with food/money during that lockdown.
DeleteThe conflict could be someone trying to create a vaccine for the virus.
DeleteI think you could be a person that traveled their for a trip but you got stuck their for 76 days.
DeleteThe character could be very weary of losing their job and maybe stressing out.
DeleteA character you could have is a person who had Covid-19 and wasn't allowed medical treatment.
Deletethe character can be going through loses. Or can even be in one of our perspectives now. (Online school, less going out, not much traveling)
DeleteI think your character could be someone on one of the hijacked planes.
ReplyDeleteI think you could be somebody on one of the bottom floors of the towers not knowing what was happening up above.
ReplyDeleteMaybe your character could be a native american women and you could show them going through the struggles of that
ReplyDeleteA main conflict could be some of the targeted groups and their internal conflict against the horrific events of the Eugenics of the Cambodian Genocide.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict for your story could be how a prisoner copes with the holocaust after it ended.
ReplyDeleteI think a direct conflict of the people in the tower would be too direct. Something more interesting would be the first responders perspective on saving people, or the spectators outside on the streets.
ReplyDeleteA good main conflict could be how the Jewish people avoided getting but in a Concentration Camp.
ReplyDeleteI think you could do one of the women that were being sterilized and what they thought was going on and how they reacted after.
ReplyDeleteYour character could be on the one of the planes and could be horrified, calling their parents or even just silent thinking of whats happening around them.
ReplyDeleteThe character could be Jewish and he or she could want to help stop this they could be quite type. Or be a kid who goes through it and wants to help
ReplyDeleteYour main character can be a son or daughter whose mother or father was killed in the attack.
ReplyDeleteYour Character can be in concentration camp or trying to escape/hide from the nazis.
ReplyDeleteYour main character would probably be really paranoid, not wanting to get sterilized (or if male not wanting a friend to be involuntarily sterilized.)
ReplyDeleteYour main character could be a concentration camp officer
ReplyDeleteYour character could be somebody who was told to stay in the South tower even though the North tower had just collapsed.
ReplyDeleteI think a good idea is to have Jewish person trying to hide from the Nazis and what it was like running and hiding from the Nazis.
ReplyDeleteYour character could be a helpful friend of a person who got sterilized.
ReplyDelete
