A difficult week...

The past week we weren't able to go to school because of the current situation. We have continued working online with all of our teachers. Also some people had difficulties in other neighborhoods. I continue to hope and pray that god will help us!

A good week

So last week we started to go back to school.

Since of the crisis in the country we now finish at 12:00. We started off the week well with all of our normal class. We all had English, math, history, P.E, I.T, speech, and current event. This week was also a bit challenging because we had loads of work to turn in.

We also lost all lot of students because they are leaving the country.

A good week...

Our last week was a very good week. Since we didn't go to school we continued our work at home.
We had to finish all of our late work and continue working on our BLOG and on our typing. A good typing website is http://www.typingweb.com/.
As in the current situation in the country nothing has changed. Both presidents haven't made a decision and things and changing. Their have been a couple of deaths in the country BUT.....


I PRAY FOR EVERYONE AROUND ME AND FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE SUFFERING

Another week without school....

This week was a strong week for all of us living here in Ivory coast. You can find more information on :http://topics.pe.com/topic/Laurent_Gbagbo.

Our English teacher gave us an assignment to finish reading the book Night. In History we had to read about the Unification of Germany and to answer a couple of question which I found really interesting. In Math we had to take a 10 question quiz which was very simple and after taking the quiz we had to scan it and send it back to our teacher. In current event we were sent article, which we need to summarize and send to our teacher by Monday, and you will be seeing my summary on the blog!

The thing i really enjoyed this week was me talking with my teacher. I talked on Skype with my Math teacher which was very helpful because I was able to ask him a couple of question.

A Problem.....

This week  was a very difficult week for us. Another week without school so we stayed home and sent all of our homework by Engrade. Our Science teacher had sent us a powerpoint document which we had to read and learn the context. In current event our teacher sent us a article which we need to read and write and essay about. In I.T.  we needed to continue with our typingweb and I had to improve my blog!
Their has been a tragic incident. Six women died after protesting in the street! you can find more information on this by:http://news.am/eng/news/50279.html

Also in English we had to write and essay on African American so this is it:

Could Martin Luther King Jr nonviolent system work in Côte d’Ivoire past, present or future?

Dr Martin Luther king Jr was a great man who used a system. He believed in the power of love, which he would call nonviolent resistance. This method of nonviolent resistance helped his people achieve freedom. I believe that Martin Luther nonviolent system could have a place in Cote D’ivoire past, present and future.

Martin Luther King Jr was born on January 15, 1929. Martin went to segregated public schools in Georgia, and he graduated from high school at the age of fifteen. After finishing going to school, he married Coretta Scott and they had four children. In 1954, Martin became pastor of a church in Alabama. In December 1955, he accepted the first nonviolent demonstration in America. The bus boycott lasted 382 days and on December 21, 1956, the Supreme Court decided to stop the laws requiring segregation on buses. During the boycott, Martin was arrested and his house was bombed. In 1957, he was elected president of the Southern Christian leadership. He directed the peaceful march in Washington D.C. of 250,000 people where he said the speech “I Have a Dream”. Martin was the youngest man to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. On the evening of April 4, he was assassinated while standing on the balcony of his motel.

In my own, nonviolent protest is a way of protesting against injustice. Nonviolent protest is a way of showing that the other person looks violent. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is a good example on how to fight injustice using nonviolent protest. Martin Luther King was also a good example. He would use speeches, boycotts; sit ins and other forms of peaceful protest. There are loads of examples of non violent protests. Marching and demonstrations are examples. When people strike for example not going to work. When they disobey to unjust laws and refuse to pay for unjust arrests. I believe that nonviolent protest can make differences.

I believe that nonviolent system could have a place in Cote D’Ivoire past, present and future. There were people like Martin Luther King who used methods long time before the crisis started. Our leaders could have used these methods. There are ways to prove to the populations, that you are telling the truth. For example you can have speeches or strikes. Political leaders could tell people not to go to work but the people should be willing to listen. Also political leaders could give speeches on their plan for the nation. A bad method is preventing people to have access to information about another political group for example cutting the newspaper or channels. Another bad method is killing innocent people or by making people suffer for example by cutting electricity and water for example going into people’s house and killing them. War should be between armies and it should stay this way. If people used nonviolent protest, people wouldn’t be scared to leave their house. Also we the students would be going to school and the city would be functioning. Also the population would be willing to fight for a change. They would need to listen to their political leader but if all they do is stay at home nothing will happen. I truly believe that nonviolent protest is possible. Political leaders could tell people not to go to work. It also depends on the population. If the population wants a change, then they will fight for it. An example is in Egypt, the president Muhammad Hosni Mubarak resigned and the population didn’t use violence to make him leave. All they did was gather in the street as a united country and tell him to leave.

I think people should use nonviolent system in Cote D’Ivoire. It is a good way to prevent violence. I think that if people start using nonviolence, things would change in the country. People wouldn’t be scared to leave their houses. War should be between armies and it should stay this way.

A Problem.....

This week we haven't been able to go to school. Their have been shooting everywhere in the country and it is dangerous for our security. Since we didn't go to school, we had to communicate with Engrade. We would send all of our assigments by internet for correction.
We had to continue doing our typing-web to help us become better typer's. We had some homework from our History teacher so we had to type that and send it too him. Also our English teacher gave us the assignment to finish reading the book"Night" and to finish Writing and African American essay.
I hope that we will be able to go to school.

Hello everyone,
This week was very good and I learned loads of new things. In English we watched a movie on Romeo and Juliet. Since the following week we had been reading it in class and it was great. In science we learned about the Punnet square which a a way to determine a cell probability. We also had a project on Gregor Mendel and we found out lots of interesting things for example that he was a monk while doing his experiments on his favorite plants which are peas.
 In math we learned about Linear equation . In history we learned about the expansion of the United States and about the reforms and we watched one of Dr Gnakpa's. In P.E. we played Hockey which was very fun.
I found this week very interesting!

Blogs

Today we had our first lesson on BLOGS and a blog is a place to share your thoughts and your passions blog id a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a place to express yourself to the world.
I think that the blog would be very helpful because it will help us out to stay in contact with other people in the world. They would also be able to find out what we do in school or out of school!
