Week 4: Moral Growth & Memory Maps

Lesson Reflection:

Share your memory map online. After watching Margot Stern Strom's reflection on growing up in the south, write a short summary of the video of about 120 words.

My Memory Map

1. The first day I came to WMSI(I) (13 years old)
2. The moment when I was voted as the monitor of the class (13 years old)
3. The time when I was changed into another school (10 years old)
4. The year which I was picked as a prefect ( 12 years old)
5. The day which I was introduced to model kit building (7 years old)
6. The moment when I was shown the first magic trick ( ???)

Reflection on the video

From the video, I found out that people during the 1950s mis-treated out people who are not their own race. The "coloured" people were treated worst than the "non-coloured". The people who are "non-coloured" had better rights. They had better jobs and they always think that they are always above any other people. The "coloured" people had lesser privilages from the " non-coloured". The "coloured" people were only allowed to enter certain place on a certain day. For example, places like the zoo. However, at the end of the video, I learnt that we can still get the same amount of love from someone who is a different race than you. All of us are still the same species of mammals and all of us should have equal rights for everything.

Week 8: The Great Depression

Lesson Reflection 8 What is the Great Depression? What caused it and how did it affect the Americans and the world? The Great Depression began with the stock market crash of 1929 and was made worse by the 1930s Dust Bowl. It was caused by the government which allowed people to use credit from the bank to buy goods. Thus, when people were not able to repay their debts, to the bank resulting the bank to enter bankruptcy. When this started, share markets plummeted and investor became bankrupt and most of the people there became poor. How does knowing more about the period in history helps you to understand the characters and setting from Chapter 1 to 7? It helps me have a clearer image of how the people back then lived. It tells me that most of the people were poor and lost all their money.

Week 10: Connection Question

Chapter 8 1. How does Hem respond to Atticus's compliment about the snowman? What does this suggest about their relationship? The compliment suggest that Atticus was happy and feels comforted. They are very close together. 2. What does the town's response to the fire at Miss Maudie's house reveal about Maycomb's universe of obligation in this chapter? A community's universe of obligation includes the circle of individuals and groups toward whom obligation are owed, to whom rules apply, and whose injuries call for amends. In other words, a community's universe of obligation consists of those its members believe are worthy of respect and protection. It will be difficult as Maycomb is a very prejudiced area. They simply hate black people just because of their colour. Chapter 9 1.What is Aunt Alexandra's vision for what is "lady-like"? How does Scout respond to that vision? What does Atticus think about Scout's conformity to gender...
