Over the couple of classes we had with Miss.Pollock we were learning about the war of 1812 and she has asked us to answer some questions, her I go :).
Q:Who won the War of 1812?I think Canada/British won the war of 1812.
Q:Why do you think that?Because if America had won the war there wouldn't be a place called Canada, instead it would be called America.
Q:Is there always a winner in a war?There isn't always a winner in wars. Sometimes the two country's at war come to and agree meant, or something like that.
Q: Why or why not? Well as I said before maybe the two country's at war come to and agreement.

Assignment #7
Hey,
a)Which category of Canadian Personalities interested you the most? Did you like the "we inspired", "we founded", "we fought", "we built" or "we governed" section the best? Why?
I read about Gabrielle Roy and she was a famous writer.She was in the "We inspire" category.
She inspired me the most because she was an awesome writer. Also because she made people want to write books and enjoy it very much!She also inspired them by making them write things about themselves. If you want to read more about her than click here.
I also read about Samuel De Champlain and he was a famous explorer and a administrator.He was in the"We built" category.Samuel De Champlain was a writer to and he inspired people to come to North America.If you want to read more about him click here.
b.) Which personality interested you the most? Why? Find an image of him or her to embed (add to the body of your post) and write, in your own words, a short description of what he or she did and why he or she is your favourite. If you get information from any source, you must credit it by creating a link to it (that includes information from the site that I've asked you to look at).The person that inspired me the most was Gabrielle Roy. She inspired me the most because she was and awesome writer and because she didn't give up at all when her work was not good enough, she just kept going.The picture at the top, as you might have noticed, is Gabrielle Roy.
c.) In your post, suggest three more influential Canadian personalities that could be added to this site. Why did you choose these people? Which categories would they fit into? Link to information about each of them. The three people I'm suggesting are,Mary Brant and Joseph Brant(they were both great Aboriginal leaders), and Mordecai Richer is another great writer.I chose Mary Brant and Joseph Brant because I though that if you ever want to be a leader when you grow up you should read about him and he will be a great remodel(click here if you want to cheek it out). And I picked Mordecai Richer because he was also another awesome writer to being with. Click here to read more.
7d.) Which History-Maker did you have the most in common with? Were you able to figure it out from the clues given? What do you share with that person? What are some things that are different between you and that person.The person I was match up was Thomas (Tom) Longboat. Me and Tom were similar because we both play sport. I would say Tom is way athletic than I and, and he probably likes a different spot than me.
8. Think long and hard about this part and then post an answer to this question on your blog:
e.) One hundred years from now, (in 2109!) imagine that students are learning about Canadian History Makers and they discover you. What will you be remembered for?How were you a Canadian History Maker? You are using your imagination, so think about some things that you would like to accomplish in your life and imagine that you have all the accomplishments of your life to look back on. Write a short profile of yourself, imagining the contributions you have made to the future of Canada. I would want to be remember so a sports event.I want to be none for a person who made a really awesome sport that a lot of people would like. I would want to be the first person who shoots from on end of the basketball net into the other nets basket.That would be really awesome.In 1995 Mariam Khazaal was born in 2100 she was able to get in and awesome team called.....The Flames.She was able to score a shoot from the other end of the gym into the other teams net.How awesome is that.
And that's all for assignment #7 hope you liked it......Leave a comment.

Winters Cold Assignment #5
Hey peers.
I'm starting on assignment 5.It's one of my favourite assignment so far.Anyways.you now how you think its so cold now??Well, how do you think people felt in the old times when there was no furnaces or any heaters?And why, in the old times, did they,the people, stay when they new it was this cold???
I can up with couple of idea's.Here they are:
- Well there was a lot of freedom so they thought that they can do anything, and they decided to stay.
- There was many jobs for people,so,they stayed to get money.
- They also stayed because man were forced to join the army but in Canada you had the choice of either joining it or not.
- They also stayed because there was a better education than there is in ANY country.
My parents can relate to this because they lived in Lebanon and it was really hot, and than they came to Canada. And than when winter came they thought that the coldness was the worst thing they had ever experienced in there life.But hopefully they got used to the weather and they also had something to warm them when they got really cold.
I hope you liked it and please leave a comment! :)

Assignment#4 Linking Back to Your Peers.
A lot of my class mates did a very good job on "What Canada will be like in 2109?"But I really liked Aynalem's entry(click here to see it).I liked it a lot because it had a lot of details and a lot of reasonable answers. I liked this quotes that Aynalem used"That people will be able to abolish racism".
Another one was Rania's blog.She also had reasonable answers and they put down things that I think will happen in the future. I also liked her answer's because one she put details but she didn't do it in a way that it would take you like 10 minutes to read,no, it only took me about 5 minutes to read and it makes a lot of sense. Click here to check it out!!. I liked this quotes the most bout Rania"There will be more respect for black people".

What the world will be like to "ME" in a 100 year's.
Hey again!!
Now I'm starting to work on assignment #3. This assignment was so that we write down what we think the world is going to be like in a hundred years or so. And these are some of the things I think the world is going to be like in a hundred years.....
- I think that there is going to be less war.Because now as you may no that America has a new president and I for one think hes going to make a big change.
- I think also there will be a hole lot less racism in the world,because not that United States has a African-American president people might follow what he did and pick any kind of people.
- And hopefully there will be less pollution in the world because a lot of people are coming up with a lot of good ideas of how to make less garbed and how to reuse things that you are able to reuse.
