Auschwitz I & II
"the whole entrance of "work makes you free" was kind of a way of censoring the ones that entered. Though, at the same time, it was kind of ironic, in a way. Either way, when people would be forced into concentration camps, they would…"
Kelsey Carlson commented on Mari Saunes's blog post Pros and cons of having the Final Review online."its hard to take a side. I think either way some people aren't going to look over it. If it's online then there is less of a chance we will, but if it's class some shove it in their bag a forget about. At least handing out in class…"

"yeah, or like, work makes you free or something like that! I went in 2007 with my school, or the whole 10th grade went there as a school trip. It's a normal thing to do when we're in 10th grade because we learn a lot about the holocaust…"

Would I be considered an Immigrant?
During the time of the immigrant unit and the family history project in AS I thought alot about what I am in the American system or culture.
What could a foreign exchange student that was born and raised on the other side of the Atlantic talk about that had to do with immigration?
My host mother suggested that I talked about what it is like being an immigrant and what the big differences are. And sure, there are big differences, although I have to think about…

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"
Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "

"This amazing video has been removed from Youtube, but--at least temporarily--you can find it here."
Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something .
