1. Thomas Jefferson- Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of American. He is the role model and also he support the Lewis and Clarke expedition.  Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of American Independence and also the Father of the University of Virginia.

2. George Washington- George Washington was the first president of the United states but before he became president, he had to successful for many problems. I choose him because when Britain  went to war, his decide not to take sides and also he was a role model for American soldiers and in American history.

3. Abraham Loncoln- Abraham Loncoln became the 16th presidents of the United States.president Loncoln is only American who likes to wear a beard and the tallest of  Amercan president. I choose him because his want to end the slaves, get them opporunity to have their own freedom and to have equal right for all. He was assassinated after his successful his dream.

4.John F. Kennedy- John F. Kennedy was the youngtest elected to became president of the United states.He was assassinated in his office before his was complete his third years president.I choose him to became my role model because Johm F. Kennedy want to provent war, get people equall right, and tells people to make house for them to lives.

 5. Martin Luther King Jr- Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi both of him protect for equal right but both of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi not use non-violent. Before Martin Luther King Jr. protect for civil war, his say " I have a dream". I choose him because he will be in all american memory and not only for american memory, he will be in my memory either.

Something I thought that was interesting about World War One was when the soldier dies was so sad, the courtry was destroyed by war, and many man had been lost their opportunity to had a wonderful life with their with their family or love.

Something that I learn today was many soldiers don't had leg, just only one led but they still be a goood man to protect the courtry and I also learn that many soldiers dies for war or courtry and nothing can't stop the war.   

You will make a Flowgram answering these questions about the woman:

1) Who was she and what did she do?

Elizebeth Candy Stanton is a woman who try to solve the problem between the woman and man to get legal for both side and she try to end the slavery for everybody to have better life in the future.

2) Why did you pick her?

I pick her because Elizebeth Candy Stanton is the first woman to solve the peoblem between the woman and man and also sheis the hero of all people in that time. Another reason that I pick her is she try to equalll right to all woman and man on matter how hard, She still believe that her dream will came true and many people said that her is the woman's rights.

 Please pick a woman who you know personally (your grandmother, mother, a teacher, etc.) who reminds you of the famous woman you picked to write about.  Explain why she reminds you of that famous person.

The woman that pick is Ms. Blust. she is a wonderful teacher that I ever have before because she hepl me how to learn, how write , and how parpare for my future. Ms. Blust is a person that I respect and she is a role model for me and for all students in Luther burbank. Also Ms. Blust is a helpful teacher.

Manifest Destiny
By Cathy

¹     In the 1800s, the country started to grow quickly. Some people started to believe that the country should go from one ocean to another. They used this idea as a reason to go to war or take land from other countries. This idea was called Manifest Destiny.

 ²     The term was used for the first time in 1845. The person who used it did not think the country should go to war to get land. He didn't think the government should have any part of it. He thought that people should just move west. When enough people lived in an area, they would apply to become a state. This is how the country should grow.

 ³     It wasn't that easy. Other countries owned the land in the West. Thomas Jefferson helped with this problem in 1803. He bought land from France. This land went from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains. He doubled the size of the country

 ⁴     People quickly began to move onto this land. But some people wanted to go farther west. They went into Texas. This land was owned by Mexico. In 1836, they declared their freedom. Texas applied to become a state. The two countries went to war over the land. Mexico lost.

 ⁵     After the war, there were some that wanted all of land to become part of the country. Not everyone agreed. The treaty helped end this talk. Mexico lost land - a lot of land. The land would become many states in the West.
