Hey, my name is Cassie D. from Mr. Sal ‘s first period 20th century. My empire in the WW1 game was Austria, Hungarian. We did combine our group at the very end because we had no choice but to.
My group decided it would be best to spend most of our points on the Navy to win against other groups. Also we spent some points on the colonies to gain more land. We made treaties with Russia and Great Britain.
The reason we made treaties with these teams is because they had more of colonies, navys, and etc. then us. So in order for us to stay in the game we had to work with them.
Our team broke one treaty which was with both Russia and Great Britain. We agreed to give them our Navy and they would give us their points to make sure no one would go back on their word. Then Ryan took their econimic points and bought us new stuff and when the team came back there was nothing to give them.
I was not pleased with my countries outline because we started with nothing and we ended with nothing. If i had a second chance at this game would not have let Ryan trade the teams money just to get us more stuff. Also i would of made treaties with America because they had the most stuff. I have a much better understanding of diplomacy because i realize you just can not do stuff on your own you need help because you never know who your true enemies are.

Hey I am Cassie Drodge from period one 20 th century. The topic I have chosen is Child Labor. Which is also known as “child slavery.” Child Labor is “the employment of children who are under the legal age.” The ages of the children that are usually working are 5 years old to 17 years old. Children usually died before age 17 because of the manual labor they had to do was to rough on their bodies. The places the child labor is most common in the United States, Uzbekistan, Brazil, England and many places in Africa and South Africa. Most children usually decide to work because their family is poor or because they had no parents and have to survive on their owns. Child labor now and back then have many differences and similarities.

There were many attempts to end child labor in the Constitution, but there was not enough states that agreed with the law. Some differences back then to now is that children back then earned close to 23 percent of their families income. Now children earn less than that for their families. There has been many people and states that have tried to stop child labor back then, but no one was successful. An example of a state is England. England was one of the most common child labor areas of all. Another difference between now and then is that children have more rights now than back then because back then they would not give you any choices, you just did what they said. Some similarities are is that it is still occuring around the U.S., Africa, South Africa, and etc. Another similarity is that back then and now they are still trying to make laws to make sure children have certain rights too. Child labor occurs almiost every where in the world. It is thought by many that no matter what child labor will still be around for many years.

Hey I’m Cassie from period 1 20 th century. I hope to learn more things about world war 2 because my grandfather was in it. I also want to learn about different cultures because the different cultures interests me. I also want to learn more about different technology. I’m most curious about how they got the iPod touches to work with class related things. Also it will help me learn how to use my iPod touch better at home. I want to learn how to type better also because I’m struggling with that.
