She was taught that her foot was ugly because her mom always told her it was, and when your taught something at a young age it usually sticks with you. Ada is also annoyed and dissapointed when she finds out that her foot will never be fixed and she will always stay the way she is always having her moms voice in her head saying your ugly, and rubbish, and no one will ever want you.

I feel they go out of harms way to do something.
 Another idea of mine is,  that Mrs. Z, will help everyone in the Flashback Four, I think this because, she is giving them an amazing them an amazing experience, and also, is giving them a chance to really see what happened in the past, and even, from their knowledge, maybe get them a better education. Isabelle, in particular, because her family, isn't doing too well financially. Lastly, the experience, will really help all of them to succeed more, and maybe make them amazing in history.

This motivates Y'tin because he wants to make it so that the elephants can get the thing that is very desirable in this time period freedom. This motivation makes it so that it is easy for Y'tin to feel brave and think about the sacrifice he is making to the people of his village that he is risking their lives for an elephant
One lesson that Y'tin learns along his hard journey that even when it is hard to do the right thing you can never stop trying. Y'tin learns this when he is forced to do things for the north Vietnamese soldiers. He then realizes that they are making him do the wrong thing and that doing the right things is always what makes things peacful.]]> 2017-05-23 19:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173484133 Kiley Blackmar- Ranger In Time- Long Road to Freedom https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173484524 An idea I had about Ranger In Time- Long Road To Freedom, was when the Bradley´s thought about growing more wheat than tobacco because they probably thought that would get them more money off of wheat. Another idea I had was why William likes Sarah the most but might sell her brother Jesse away, because I you like someone more than someone else and that someone else was their sibling, would you make them sad or happy? And by they way William didn´t look at Sarah when he said he is probably not going to give her brother away made Sarah think of her mother and how she said, ¨eyes told the truth even when mouths were lying.¨

After a while she had to accept that but it stuck with her that she would be different her whole life. Her old mom always treated her badly because of her foot. She would not let her go outside or make friends, instead she had to wait on her mom. Now all those memories will trigger  emotions that make her upset and sad. 
I also think that Jamie wants to help Ada but some things he can’t do like fix her foot. Ada appreciates the help Jamie gives her, she would not be where she was now without him. When they were back in England without Jamie Ada wouldn’t of eaten because the mom never gave Ada food. She was grateful for Jamie and what he has done for her.

I think that it is a problem because she keeps on wanted to be able to be like a normal kid and wear two shoes on each foot,but she cant because of the I feel bad for her because Susan and Miss.Smith are afraid to let her get the surgery because it cost a lot of money. I also think that they do not want Ada to get the surgery because they are trying to teach her that it does not matter what you look like in the outside it is how you are on the inside but Ada is trying to tell then that she understands that it is just that her footy hurts almost every time that she moves. Before she got the crutches she could barley even walk so If I were her I would be grateful that I can now walk instead of crawl.  One lesson that Ada learned is that you should except who you are and not judge your self by how you look. Ada's real Mam used to judge Ada on her foot and make her do things that she did not want to do. But now she is so much more grateful.

One day, he finds a mysterious first aid kit in the garden and is transported to the year 1850, where he meets a young boy named Sam Abbott. Sam’s family is migrating west on the Oregon Trail, and soon after Ranger arrives he helps the boy save his little sister. Ranger thinks his job is done, but the Oregon Trail can be dangerous, and the Abbotts need Ranger’s help more than they realize and ranger learned that he can help people without being a aid dog]]> 2017-05-23 20:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173488778 Flashback Four || ben levyb241 https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173489335  One of my ideas is, that the Flashback Four is very honest. They won't lie, even about their "time travel" ordeal. They are especially honest, when Abe Lincoln and his son visit the Flashback Four in prison. They were truthful about trying to get the shoot -- camera shot, not gun shot, and how they came from the future. They all told Lincoln, knowing that they could've gotten away with a lie, because he had no idea what they were talking about. That brings up a little issue about why they were in jail. Luke was trying to get the photo shot of Lincoln giving the Gettysburg address, and some officers came and took them away, even though they told the officers that, they were trying to get a photo shot. I think the Flashback Four learned that, honesty is the best policy. I think that it was important that they were truthful, one because if they had lied, they may have gotten judged, and even maybe, been in jail for a lot longer. Second of all, they really learned a lesson, that will make them more successful in life socially.

 Another idea I have is, that they felt hopeless, when they were in prison. I feel like they felt hopeless, because they were being treated horribly, by the prison guard. This was a big obstacle, that could have stopped them from getting to the "future", and since they got back, potentially saving their life! Abe Lincoln saved their life. A lesson that I think they learned, is that, they always have to think about their actions, more deeply, especially around people that think something is really bad when it's not.

Learn about how honest Abe Lincoln was, just like the Flashback Four:]]> 2017-05-23 20:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173489335 The War that Saved my life- Nikolet Vataj https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173491934

When The doctor told Ada that her Foot would never be healed, she felt defeated. I think hat she feels defeated now, because she was getting help, and people were not discriminating her for her foot. She was thought of as average for once, without being called out for her foot. She thought that if she could be "normal" Than her foot can to. But she wouldn't have thought the same way if she still lived with her mom. Her mom never thought of her as "normal"  she thought of her as "ugly" and "different". I feel like if her mom sent her to the doctors, and they told her that her foot will always be "different" she would not feel so defeated. Why? Well, since her mom thought of her as nothing else but a cripple. But when she was excepted, she gave her hopes up. And that is what made her so down. I feel that if she can just know that she can be normal without having a perfect foot, then she would be okay with this. But with all the discrimination her  mother has given her, she thinks that she is only different, but does not realize that not every one is perfect right away. So really, the lesson learned in this book is that no one is perfect.

Y'Tin is trying to catch up on everything as fast as possible and that is making him a little exasperated. 
I also feel that the whole idea about crossing the line is very true and a great theme for the story because it is emphasized during times of war.
I feel that Lady coming back at the end was kind of a happy ending type scenario at the moment

Sam Abbott. He and his family are on the Oregon Trail because they are going West. When he meets the family he help's save Sam's little sister. They decide to go together, but when they walk on the Oregon Trail there is way more danger ahead. In this story Ranger shows Courage and Bravery by helping Sam's family keep safe, while traveling West on the Oregon Trail. Ranger learns that helping people come 1st. ]]> 2017-05-23 21:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173497927 Eliza Zeltner https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173498845 One idea that I have is that Luke and David were very courageous and wouldn't give up to get the camera to work. This was a big struggle but they had motivation. Their motivation was that they promised Ms. Z they would have a picture of Abraham Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address. If they didn't do this Ms. Z would be flabbergasted. This was a big issue for them that they had to overcome.
One issue is that the four of them don't fit in. This is a big issue/struggle. I mean Ms. Z did show them a list of slang words from the time period but that only helped a little bit. But word choice is also a crucial part of fitting in. I mean if a kid went into our school saying their feeling melancholy or flabbergasted we would not understand. I think some of the people they met got a little bit suspicious about them. This happened especially when Isabella hands Tad Lincoln (Abraham Lincolns son) a five dollar bill that had his dad on it. Of course at that time Abe Lincoln was not on the fie dollar bill.  ]]> 2017-05-23 21:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173498845 Ariana Chace- Ranger in Time-Long Road to Freedom https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173499217 In the story one of Luke and Sadie faced no problems or issues yet. But on the other hand, Sarah and Jesse are facing some big problems, because they are in the time of slavery. For example Sarah is facing a problem with trying to convince Jesse to run away, or sneak away. She wants to convince her brother to run away because she thinks he might get sold this scenario adds up because Jesse is little and young which makes him weak, so Mr. Bradley thinks it would be smart to sell him. One thing that motivated Jesse in the book was the idea of Ranger running away with him. Jesse wasn't convinced that running away instead of getting sold was what he wanted to do but he seemed to really be liking Ranger so if Ranger ran away with him, it would motivate him and show him that he should run away. This is what his older sister Sarah was thinking.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=vedios+on+the+book+a+ranger+in+time+long+road+to+freedom&&view=detail&mid=29591278E8EFF5655DE629591278E8EFF5655DE6&FORM=VRDGAR]]> 2017-05-23 21:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173499217 Jack https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173499860 One internal struggle that Y'Tin has is that he doesn't recognize many people in the camp. In his mind that maybe means more than half of the village was killed, or maybe he's just dreaming. And if more people in his village are killed, the more that Y'Tin could potentially become enraged, and the harder it gets for him to contain that rage. That leads to an internal conflict of trying to contain that anger, and the anger trying to escape from Y'Tin. If he let's the rage escape he will create a physical conflict within Y'Tin's family and Y'Tin's friends. An idea I have about this conflict is that Y'Tin just wants everything to be fine, but in reality it's not. And Y'Tin accepts that, but whenever it happens directly to him or to other people in his tribe, he can't accept it. That is why I think this internal conflict and confusion is a big factor in Y'Tin's views on the war and his views on North Vietnam. But this anger towards the war and North Vietnam is not helping him. It's getting in the way of what he really needs to do, which is to survive.

He is very brave and motivated. One thing that motivates him is his Elephants his elephants have freedom he wants to be like them and he will try to get to freedom but one mistake that he made was going on the adventure but that didn't stop him because he still is brave enough and motivated to keep trying and get to freedom.]]> 2017-05-23 22:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173505894 Jon https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173506443 Ranger in time Oregon Trail is about a dog who is really good at finding people and his owners luke and his father are training him to get better at finding people. So the father always give Ranger something to smell and he tells him to go find it and he does whenever he comes back with the thing he found the father would say good boy. But Ranger is always getting distracted by squirrels. One day he found something in the ground and he was bringing it to Luke when then a light in the box gets brighter and brighter then something happened to him he looked around he saw horses, wagons and a lot of people wearing fancy clothes. He then meets a kid named Sam and he is trying to find someone so Ranger helps him so then he goes places with Sam and does a bunch of crazy things but he is still looking for Luke. At the end Ranger realizes that helping people comes first.

He can't be free and run around happily like his elephants.  He wants to be free. He makes the best of what he has but he still wants to be free.  Y'tin feels angry to the war because he wants to be free but can't because of the war. If Y'tin can just stop the war he would have done a long time ago.
 One thing that motivates Y'tin is his elephants if Y'tin didn't have his elephants he wouldn't have the feelings he is having. The feelings of wanting to be free and wanting to be with other people (animals).

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/world/asia/vietnam-hostages-land-dispute.html?mcubz=0&_r=0]]> 2017-05-23 23:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173506848 Lila https://padlet.com/mgoodman18/r3onrnpxaih3/wish/173512164 One of the flashback four's issues is that they do not fit into the time period. Even though Miss.Z told them the slang of the time and helped with their clothes, they still stood out.  One of the reasons they stood out is because of their language, and language and word choice is a key part to fitting in. If some kid came to our school and started using words like "Indubitably" or "Desultory", I wouldn't really know what he or she was talking about, and i would think that they were a little odd. Basically the same thing happened here with the flashback four. 

A lesson that they all learned is to be honest all of the time, because when the officers came to take them away when they were taking the photo, they were honest and just said that they were trying to take one. They were also honest when Lincoln and his son came up to them and confronted them.

One thing I noticed is that they grew tobacco but they switched to wheat because less people were needed for that and maybe they did that so they can sell more people. Another idea is that Sarah's mom got a fever and didn't recover. She must be very sad and lonely. A third idea is that William didn't look Sarah in the eye when he said that Jesse would never be sold so he must be lying. One more idea is that Ranger could smell anythingfrom  bad smells, good smells, tree smells, human smells. Another idea is that the guy in the hat was not good news. Now they really had to get Jesse to leave. An idea I have about Jesse is that he cares about the dog and he didn't want to leave anything behind. But they brought the dog and got in the boat.
