-African Americans were treated like THINGS

-I learned more about my identity

-I learned that 42 is not used in Baseball because it is in honor of Jackie Robinson

I used to think my life was boring,now I think my life is not boring ,because I found out my life has so many funny things.

I used to think that things about Taiwan ´ s history didn't matter to us. Now I think things that happened before really matter to us, because things that happened will influence our life.

The best part of this unit I think is to watch Jackie Robinson ´ s Biography movie and the autobiography summative writing.

I have many questions for this unit but, my biggest question for this unit is why do we learn about writing and reading about autobiography and biography?

I think this unit learner profile I used is:

1: thinker

2: reflective

In this unit I am most proud of my own autobiography. I am proud of my autobiography because I work hard on the work and I also spend a lot of time on the autobiography.

The word I chose for the week is:

1: biography

2: autobiography

3:history

childhood

life

I used to think that English class was going to be challenging. Now I know it is actually really easy!

HIGHLIGHTS:

-I learned a lot of interesting facts

-English class is a breeze (really easy)

-I got to learn about Jackie Robinson's story

-The grammar edits were really fun

-Writing the autobiography helped us find our true selves and help us deeply understand ourselves and our past, plus what things make us who we are.

What questions do you have?

-Is the English going to get harder?

-Are we going to watch the Narnia movie?

-Are we going to read the full Narnia series?

- Are we going to write more essays in Unit 3?

What approaches to learning did you use the most?

-I used communication skills, social skills, and other skills to help me during English class

What 'learner profile attributes' have you demonstrated?

- I used communication skills and knowledgeable skills to help me during English class. I often share facts during class.

Why is there racism?

Why did Mr. Huck choose Jackie Robinson?

Is Jackie Robinson still alive?

If he isn't, why did he die?

Why do baseball players spit during a watch?

Why can you hit people in baseball?

• Biographies are boring

• Jackie Robinson is a bad guy

• The n-word is NO

• Everyone is treated as a human

  Now:

• The n-word is a bad word

• African Americans were treated as things

• Jackie Robinson is a good person that stood up for African American’s rights (Which is IMPORTANT!!!)

• Racism is a big deal

My personal favorite was drawing my poster because it was fun.

I think the highlights of the unit are making the autobiography poster, although I thought it was not really fun when I was making it. ( It ´ s because I am making the ending when it is Sunday. I didn't finish it during class time. )

1.parcel: A wrapped up box that is sent to you.

2.Damp: a little wet like the water on the grass sometimes.

3.Emotions : How we feel inside our body

Why would people like to write biographies? You need to use a lot of time to interview the person that you were interviewing, and when you finish publishing your biography book, maybe it wouldn't have people buying your book. I think you can have done other things. If I, I wouldn't write biographies, or autobiographies, because it is not my hobby.

I think that I was balanced, because I did all the work OK not too bad and not too good.

-racism: A type of prejudice held against someone because of their skin tone or their nationality. Sentence: Racism against black people in the south of America was a big problem 100 years ago.

-prejudice: Hating or being against someone for no reason or for a false accusation. Sentence: Prejudice against black people were because of their skin color.

-unjust: The opposite of justice, being unfair. Sentence: The case of Emmit Till was unjust because he had a unfair court case.

I have thinking skills , because I think before write

has racism so I didn't think it is important

but now I think it is important because many

people is mean someone
