Also how they live a daily life, mainly either going to school or working. ]]> 2018-10-24 19:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/296648688 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/298087756 This poem might mean something to everyone in the world because it talks about how love is present, and how strong it might get. ]]> 2018-10-29 15:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/298087756 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/310506632 Mexico is a big country, just south of the United States. Itś filled with a lot of different landforms. Mexico is a poor country, that has a rich history. Was previously ruled by the Aztecs and was later taken over by the spanish. Then, the Spanish got overruled by the Mexican natives.

In Canada, there is a theme park that is very popular called Canada’s Wonderland. This year, it is adding a new ride, the 17th, called the Yukon Striker. This ride will have one of the largest drops and will be a big tourist attraction.

This article talks about how large South America is. It’s so big, that it can be split into three different regions. These three regions are the mountains and highlands, the river basins, and the coastal plains. Each have their own distinct traits. For example, the mountains and highlands contain peaks above 15,000 ft.

On November 13th, 2018, it is officially 100 years since the end of the first World War. This talks about some people and how they are feeling, (usually emotional). They interview someone and they talk about the toll on those that are still alive.

This front page is focusing on the death of Stan Lee, the creator of MARVEL Comics. He died on the 12th due to old age, and at the age of 95. Stan Lee touched many people's hearts with his comic books, and his death left a big impact on the rest of the world.

This article is about things you should do or places you should visit if you go to Ottawa, Canada’s capital. You can visit a canal, the Rideau Canal to be exact. You can also visit Parliament hill and also the parliament buildings. 

Unlike the U.S., Canada is less strict on the immigration topic. The U.S. has a lot of intolerance, racism, and inequality, where Canada is almost the complete opposite. They like to think of themselves as multicultural. This they except all cultures in their country and don’t discriminate them. There are always still some that do though.

In September of 2017, in El Salvador, young people, mostly innocent, are finding themselves in a rut. With war between gangs and the state, younger people didn’t have as much freedom. They had to watch out for themselves wherever they went.They even had a hard time paying attention in school.

In February of 2017, Mexico was going through a drought, or a period of time without water (rain). Also, due to climate change, it was also falling apart. Schools and other buildings were crumbling, and the roads were split open. This had to be bad for them, and what made it worse was that the country is broke.

This article was about how South America had earlier inhabitants than we thought. New bone fragments have been found that date back to around 11,000 years. We had previously thought that the earliest inhabitants were from around 9,000 years ago, but they also found a baby’s skeleton from 13,000 years ago.]]> 2018-12-03 16:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/310506632 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/315238864 https://www.wattpad.com/665273901-the-thought-process
My story took place in Canada, and it showed that the people act pretty regular there, nothing out of the blue.
1. This story might mean something to me because it shows my creativity.
2. The things I researched may matter to others because they can look at the similarities and differences between them and the U.S.
3. This story might matter to the world because it tells a story of how wanting and needing are two very different things and can sometimes effect someone's life in a negative way. ]]> 2018-12-17 16:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/315238864 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/330056415 http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/windigo.html
This myth is from Canada
A brave warrior wanders into the forest in search of food for his family. a Windigo, pops out and attempts to kill the warrior, but instead gets killed by him. as a reward, the hunter comes across a red fox at the end of the forest, which keeps his family fed for months.
The theme of this myth is to be brave. ]]> 2019-02-11 19:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/330056415 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/330867375 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KAyXpR_rVxwUNv79DkEnsbY-YOMg7_w_DTPEOtZbX0E/edit#slide=id.g4d6c005210_0_78
We added a snowy forest, two major things Canada is known for.
The class thought the presentation was good. 
Strengths - Easy
Weakness - Kinda hard to do as a group.
This myth might matter to me because it'll remind me to be brave.
It may also apply to others that read it. 
That may also apply to the rest of the world, too.]]> 2019-02-13 15:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/330867375 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/331895379 From this, I learned about the cities in mexico. I also learned about the food, too. The jobs there are pretty interesting as well. How people are in the neighborhoods kind of confused me, though. 
The book I read taught me more about the hardships it takes to cross the border. This book may be important to others because it can help others see how hard it is to cross the border and maybe help people understand that it isn't that easy. ]]> 2019-02-15 19:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/331895379 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/341044936 One thing that surprised me about her was that she seemed happy. She said that you will usually see Syrians looking depressed. She on the other hand, looked happy, she has 2 kids, a husband, and she gets to talk to others in the world.

One topic I would like to learn more about is the wars going on. Anything war related interests me, and if I could be talking to a person who's kind of living through it, I feel like that'd be pretty cool. I would be kind of getting like the inside scoop.]]> 2019-03-13 18:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/341044936 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/346188929 This book was a well written one. To me, though, this book was a little boring. Mainly because of the topic I think. It tells the story of El Gato is a fictional way to make it seem entertaining. Soccer isn't really my kind of sport, and that's what the whole book focused on. I'm sure that if the book was about another kind of sport or maybe even video games, I'd feel more interested. Other than that though, the book had a good flip at the end, and ended in a way people are okay with, unlike a cliff hanger, you know? 
This book could matter to everyone because it talksabout ways you can overcome your fears, and bullying, and other things that could potentially bring you down.

We read multiple books that take place in Mexico, and follow along the same kind of traditions. This was done througout the whole year, and we wrote down a bunch of like notes about it after each one, getting more information towards the new materials we learn. when it came about time to start, we split our group up to do different parts. I worked on the travel presentation and the board with Jessica. When it came time to present, we realized that were were fully prepared to start, and we sort of had to improvise. I think it ended up pretty well, but we could've done better. ]]> 2019-05-23 17:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/363018779 collinkerkela21 https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/366357650 The book parrot in the oven is a book about many problems going on in bad cities. This book matters to me because I've been through similar events that Manny has gone through. This book could mean something to others, and people around the world because it tells a story about a boy who even though has a hard life, never gave up.

The writing part of it wasn't hard. The hard part about it I think was just coming up with the material to write about. If He would've made the essay have to be shorter, I think it would've been easier for everyone. Otherwise, I think its a good idea to get everyone to try and piece things together about a book. The book was good enough to be able to do this so I think that it was good to do this. I didn't like it though.
The essay can be important to me and everyone around the world because I connected events in the book to events in real life, and that just goes to show how out of shape the world is right now. ]]> 2019-06-07 13:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/collinkerkela21/7xq66r31ouab/wish/366358696
