1) Well I think it means that you should not let anyone get in the way of your ideas or plans you should just make it your own. Never let other people or groups change who you are. I think how I could use this is that when people want to try and change me I can just remember that I am who I am and thats it.





2)Well I think that Robert definately changed a lot during the book. Actually he hasn't changed a lot but definatly has gone through changes. I remember like on part in the book when he comes to school in a suit and tie instead of regualr old clothes I thought that, that was a change. I think that after the wave is over he will definatly make sure that the project stays only with the class not the whole school, so I would think he learned his lesson about it. I think that he might go back to his regualr self again because he probably wants to just get over it. The wave to me if I was him it would be a hassle for me.





3)A: I actually saw agressive in this book because I remember when the boys were fighting and I thought that was being agressive. I dont know if I saw this but I thought that the kids who were in his class were sort of over ruling the Wave prject to the kids that just wanted to join.


4) “Avoiding Mob Mentality: A Practical Guide by A Middle Student, for Other Middle School Students.” I think that I would not be a victim of this is because I don't let other kids or groups change who I am. I will not let other people change who I am or what i wear or even how I act around other people. It is just like you are trying to take over someone else's life and trying to make it how you want it. My advice too some kids would be "don't let other kids take over who you are just be yourself". Also to make sure you find the find the right people to be around and not some bad kids who just want to change you.

In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.

The purpose of this project was to basically learn about your own family history. In order to learn about my family history I had to do a lot researching. Plus wat gave me a lot of information from. Was my interview. Although the most fun part was making my scrap book. Because I got to go through all of my grandpa's old pictures and scrapbooks of his own. What we were mainly supposed to learn about was my grandpa's life in the service for the Vietnam War. There were a lot of steps some of them took time and some took 10 minutes some were hard and some were easy. I think if I had to ever rate this project from 1-10 I would rate it an 8.

WHAT I LEARNEDIn this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.

I learned a lot about my grandpa's life in the service for 3 years for the Vietnam War and what changes or emotions he went through during the service. Or even how he felt when he left for the service an if it was really difficult for him. I explored a lot about the Vietnam War. Like what they had to wear everyday or what they did and even what his job was everyday. Some of the skills learned were how to make a better looking scrapbook. Also how to do better research better without using wikepidia or some other websites that don't even work. Even though I have never done an interview before I have definitely asked questions. I learned how to make better in depth questions, and I think i I ever had to do another interview I would definitely know what to do.

REFLECTION

In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?

Sentence Starters

• I enjoyed this project because…

• I feel like I could have done better on this project because…

• Next time, I would…

I enjoyed this project because I got to learn more about my grandpa in the service because he has mentioned it before and I actually never got to the chance to ask him about it. So I finally got to learn more about that time for him and actually interview him about him. I also liked how we got to put our own writing in there for our personal narrative because people could look at my work. So I liked it that my parent got to look at what I do everyday in school. I felt like I could've done better on the Historical Narrative because I did not spend all of my time on it. I thought did do good but I thought I could have done better. Next time I would get a less girlie scrapbook and maybe a more serious work like one but that is just one little thing. Like I said I would have done my Historical Narrative better.

ARTIFACTS

You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project? I think that I will put the website that I used for my project because I'm sure that most of the kids don't use it. Because it worked a lot for me and got me a lot of information.

op #5

1) M y favorite sentance was on pg# 110 2nd paragraph. It was "There on her locker door, the word "enemy" was painted in re letters". I lied this sentanca because it maid me think so long it took me like 15 minutes to think why and who and how???????? I was just wondering who did that why enemy though I had a lot of questions. Plus the suspense in me was building up about what was going to happen and all of that.

2) I have no further questions thank you!!!!!!

op #4

1) I think that Ben is probably feeling like "I started this one thing and now it is madness". If I was him that is what I'd be thinking. Sometime I feel that he sort of doesn't have enough control some times it can get out of hand and sometimes it doesn't.

2) My favorite sentence was " Come on Laurie the only reason your against the wave is because it means your not princess anymore". I sort of thought when they were fighting that this sentence told me a lot. That I am not even sure if he is true about that because she does not really seem like that. On the other hand I could be wrong. The part when they were fight was when I got reall in too the book all I could say was what is going to happen next???

3) Do you think that Laurie and David will get back together????

The wave OP#3

1) I think that the wave is getting out of control because now everyone wants ot know about it and wants to sneek in the class. So since everyone is doing that Mr. Ross is just noticing how many people there are and so he wants to do more, which leads to getting out of control.

2) I absoloutly love the sentance on (PG. 62) when he had all the students say "Strength trough Discipline, Strength through Community, Strength trough action". It stood out to me most because I knew that the sentance was really true and every word in it I could relate to. Such as "Strength through Discipline" you do need discipline in doing any thing like in swim you have to push yourself. Also you have to have strength or you will just not suceed.

3) On pg. 66 aragraph 1 what do you think the word "glibly" means, I could not figure out what that means. So I wanted to see what you think.

1: Ok well first I think that it spread because one the teacher said pretty much keep it on the down low (dl). So when the teacher says that the students get all excited and they just have to tell their friends. So if one student over hears a student from that class talking about it then that person will tell everyone about it. Plus they would probably be getting more and more interested about the motto and just want everyone to know.

2: The sentance that stood out to me most was "From now on, our community, our movement will be known as The Wave". It stood out to me best because I knew thatwhen he said "the wave" I knew that was probably where it all starts. So I sort of got excited because I knew that "wow" this is probably where it all starts about the wave.

3:My question is "Why do you think that everybody really wants to know about the wave motto so much"?????
