I did my project on Turtles and Tortoises. I did my project on these reptiles because, turtles are incredibly interesting and incredibly overlooked animals. Their populations are dropping at an alarming rate, and it's incredibly important for all animals who are endangered to get enough people to talk about them, and to make a change so they can live better lives.😂💯

This will also teach about the hardships of living life as a slave.

I chose this topic because Anne Frank is an inspiration to me. Anne had a lot of hardships but always looked at the bright side in everything. I love learning about the Holocaust and I never get bored of it. For example, I read her diary The Diary of a Young Girl and Anne Frank Remembered by Miep Gies. In addition, I watched a 4 hour about her life and I also watched Schindler's List was was 3 hours. People don't know much about the Holocaust and it's really depressing seeing how people are forgetting this tragic event. 2/3 of the Jewish population was destroyed which was about 6 million Jews. Anne Frank's story is just one example from other hundreds stories about the Holocaust. I chose this topic because it's really special to me and I think my inspiration towards Anne Frank was shown through my project. ]]> 2019-01-31 16:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cgordillo1/18msytspxp6z/wish/326356685
