The Day Mrs. Jenn Came In

About 2 weeks ago Mrs. Jenn a good friend to Ms. Trenkle came in to talk about the Revolutionary War. Ms. Jenn showed us pictures of where in Boston it took place and also talked to us about how the National Park Services works with the renovation of the landmarks. The Revolutionary War was very brutal women could go outside to get a pail of water and see the smoke of the war. Winters for the American side were brutal because they didn't have the proper clothes, not enough food, and not enough weapons. The French worked with the Americans and showed them new war tactics like guerrilla warfare. You may wonder what that is but basically it is when you hide behind a tree with camouflage clothing on and you ambush your enemy also hit and run. That is what the Americans used to weaken the British Army. America had many advantages, one they knew the land, second they weren't overly confident like the British, and third they stuck together even through rough times; those are just a few. After the war George Washington commended his army for their endurance during the war in a letter he sent to all of his former soldiers. Then the Americans came up with the Paris Treaty stating that America can fish off the coast lands of Canada, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia, and other land also any captured prisoners. The British also had some share in the treaty to but the treaty was never fulfilled after it was created. So that was the day of when Mrs. Jenn came in.

Art Museum Label: Dorie Miller

Dorie Miller was a attendant anonymous to the public until one day. Dorie worked on the U.S.S West Virginia. Dorie was born in 1919 and died in 1943. On December 7, 1941 on the attack of Pearl Harbor when his ship got shot down and was sinking. Dorie Miller did the unthinkable, he got his Captain and swam to the top of the ship grabbed a gun and shot down one plane. Dorie kept shooting till his Captain said " enough". After the war and word got out to everyone about what Dorie Miller did Frank Knox Secretary of the Navy wrote Dorie a letter of Commendation. An uproar began because people thought he should get the Navy Cross Award. Eventually Dorie Miller was awarded the Navy Cross by Franklin Roosevelt 6 months after the war ended in December. Dorie Miller died at age 24 on the sinking of the U.S.S Liscome Bay.

Born in 1919, Dorie Miller was the first African-American that was rewarded the Navy Cross for his "above and beyond the call of duty" act.  Although he was just a cook in the Navy, he did step up when needed. On December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, he grabbed a 50 mm bridge gun and shot down at least on Japanese plane while on the U.S.S West Virginia ship. Even though he showed so much dedication to fighting for his country, there was a lot of controversy on whether or not he should be awarded a Navy Cross. It was nearly 6 months after his heroic act when he received the Navy Cross. Unfortunately, Dorie Miller was killed while serving in Navy in 1943 on the U.S.S Liscome Bay. Dorie Miller has a great impact on a lot of people, especially my Dorie Miller History Class. 

The Piscataway tribe lived in the Northeastern Woodlands. As seasonal place, so the tribe had to be prepared to stay warm during the winter months.

Bella Coola Tribe

The Bella Coola tribe is located in the North Western part of North America. Geography affects this tribe by having cold weather because it's Northern.

The Iroquois Tribe

So, how did you like my little project. I know I enjoyed it, especially the mask the mask was really cool. The map was cool to.

The Powhatan Tribe



 

Since my tribe was located in the Northeast/ Eastern Woodlands region, geography played a big part of the Powhatan's daily lives. They had to build easy houses that they could take down really quickly if they had to move. As you could probably tell by now,the powhatan people were hunter-gatherersso the men would hunt for meat while the women would gather fruit, corn, etc.





Hello World

Hey, my name is Gabrielle but I'd prefer to be called Gabby. I love my life and expect to live a long and happy one too! I enjoy trying new things! I'm a wonderful Gemini, of course 'cause Gemini are the best! Mhm..I went there. My role model is probably my mom because she is loving, caring, and I can talk to her about anything. In the future,I look forward to becoming an actress or singer or becoming a teacher. The highlight of my life is that I'm alive....that's really cool.I'm also a straight "A" student on the honor roll. I love laughing and I love making people laugh. I also love food, roller coasters, and doing very acrobatic type things like walking across the monkey bars at my school. My personality is very unique and different from others.....in a good way! I hope that I will enjoy this experience sharing a blog with American Junior Girls Team!

Something Interesting About Moi

Hey my name is Taylor and I'm 13. My Birthday is June 7, 1997. That's right, I'm a Gemini and they are the best. I have a lot of good friends and I love to sing and act. I love learning about new things and I love music. Also, I love to go swimming. I also like to write stories and poems too. I joined the Cluster when I was in 5th grade. I like doing things for people and I LOVE to have a good time. I really look forward to graduation this year but I will miss a lot of the people from Stuart Hobson. The high schools I'm looking into are Duke, McKinley and Wilson. My role model is my mom because she has inspired me to be the best I can be in life and she is such a loving person. The highlight of my life so far has been seventh grade because I faced a lot of things like preparing for eighth grade and also there was so much drama that it just was so hard to believe. My future holds happiness. In my future, I want to be surrounded by loved ones and have a job that I can make a lot of money from.

DC SWAGG

I got more swag than my siblings, I'm a Gemini , fun-loving, and awesome. My role model is my mommy because she just shows me and my sisters what being a woman and a mother is like. She can be your best friend but she can also push you so you can achieve in life, she shows that she wants the best for us and not the worst, and she taught wrong from right and you can learn from your mistakes. The highlight of my life is when I joined the volleyball team and I am officially on the team so I can play in my first game being here. I hope that  can go pro in volleyball and play all through high-school and college. If you really get to know me I can be the most awesome person you ever met.

What you might want to know about me

 Hey there, my name's Angela and if there is one thing you have to know about me, it's that I am a bookworm. Seriously! Some people think I'm a tomboy, which I am, I guess. My role model is J.K. Rowling,who (if you don't know) is the author of the "Harry Potter" books, which happen to be my favorite books of all time, she is an inspiring person, because she never gives up and is VERY creative. The highlight of my life so far is reading books. I told you I'm a bookworm.  In my future I hope to be either an engineer or an author, because  I also love to write. That's all for now.

Dorie Miller-The Man of Service

"Above and beyond the call of duty". Not only did Dorie Miller say it, he did it. He showed us what serving our country really means. He helped this country and died with honor. He was loyal and true, like an American should be. He was the first African American to receive the Navy Cross Award which was the third highest award in the Navy at that time. He also received a Purple Heart for his dedication to this country. We are proud to represent him.
