Reading Post #3 Because of Romek

1.) When I first heard David Faber speak I was kind of shocked because I could not believe that he remembered everything that happened to him. I didn't know that someone that actually survived something so tragic, can speak so strong and not be bursting out in tears about what happened. I think David Faber is the toughest person I have ever met because he got tortured, beat up, but he somehow seemed to survive with and without his family around.

2.)I think when David was with the partisans was when he was the happiest because he was safe and they were like a family to him. When David was there he would help bomb Nazi trains so they wouldn't find the partisans hideout, and he was very brave and didn't complain. I think that is why Romek was proud of David.

3.)I think that the Gustapo let David go after torturing Romek because they knew thathe really didn't know anything. I also think because of his age is also the reason why they let him go. I think that the Gustapo thought David was going to eventually die so that is why they let him live.

1.) I think David's pigeon is significant because it saved his family and himself more than once. I also think it could be a good friend for David because he doesn't have anybody else. I think that the bird will save David's life one more time but then I think it will die.

2.)I really don't understand what you mean on this question.

3.)Why did you get a pet pigeon, when you could have gotten a dog or something else.
How did you end up surviving but everybody else died in your family.

Rdg post #1 Because of Romek

1.The book I am reading is called "Because of Romek". I learned that in the Holocaust,the Nazi party tortured Jews of all kinds. Also different skin colors that were not the German prototype.

2a.David Faber's family is a very tough family that really fights for what they believe in and who they are. I think that the Faber family showed more courage than fear in the worst of the worst of times.

2b.I think David remembers every memory of the early chapters of the story because those were probably the most shocking times to live, especially since he was just a young boy.

3.After reading the part were David tries to save his dad, it showed that David was very corageous and it shows how much he loves his dad. I think David is avery strong willed person and I think that is why he survived the Holocaust.

1. The story I am reading is called When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit. I think this

book is intersting because it shows what it was like to be jewish when Hitler was

running for president. It is also coming from the prespective of a girl.

2. The main character of the story is Anna. Her family is Jewish and if Hitler

becomes president it will be not good for them at all. Anna's father is famous so

when people see her they automatically know who she is. Anna has a brother named

Max, who is really hates nazi people because he is jewish and also because he is

a sozi, which means peole that are voting against Hitler. So far the book is

interesting.

Project Reflection


Project Title: Aztec Mural
Letter:B Dates: May 5, 2008

PURPOSE
In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.

The purpose of this project was to learn about the Aztec symbol that our mural depicted.

Our group did the warriors stepping out of the sun and into the moon, it was to also show

the outfits of the warriors overtime. Our mural was really just like it was in real life

because the colors are the same and that is what they really look like. I also learned

about the lifestyle of the Aztec warriors.


WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what academic information or skills you learned or improved.

I learned about Aztec history, culture, and how the warriors dressed and how they

started. I learned that the Aztecs believe that there warriors came from the sun. I

learned that the Aztecs style of dressing started with the rank of the people. One of the

highest ranks of dressing for the army was the cheetah dude. He also had a pony tail. I

also learned that the capital city was Tenochtitlan.



REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?


I enjoyed this project because it put together fun and learning at the same time. What I

mean by that is we got to draw and paint. I think I did descent on this project. I think

I did descent because there were certain areas that I wasn't focusing in. I could have

did better by listening to my group and payed attention more.

WORK HABITS

you use when you had difficulty understanding or completing the project?


I was responsible for picking colors and I also picked the topic which was Aztec warriors.

I had difficulty paying attention and staying on task. Next time I will pay attention more

and I will stay on task so I can more accomplished.
