Hey I’m Tyler M. from Sal’s period 6 class. In the WWI game, I was in the Ottoman Empire. When spending our economic points we started out buying a little of everything. We started buying more Colonies, but found out if we get attacked that we lose them. So after we had found that out we started buying more navies than anything because navies count as 2 times what the army’s are. When the game first started out, we went and tried to make as many treaties as possible. We made treaties with Great Britain, Russia, and Germany because they were the big countries and we figured if we could befriend them that they would have our back for anything. We didn’t break any treaties but everyone (except for Great Britain) broke there treaties with us. I am very pleased with my country’s outcome because we played good and only got attacked once. If I could go back and change something, I’d probably change the fact that we bought a lot of colonies and I would have bought way more navies and armies. I now have a better understanding on how diplomacy works in the world because I now understand how people attack each other and how just one county attacking another and turn into a complete world war.

Hi I’m Tyler M from Mr. Sals 6th period class. One of the biggest social issues of the 1900’s was child labor. Child labor is the employment of children at regular and sustained labor. Children as young as 4 would be put to work for little pay.
One place were they would have children work is in coal mines. They would have them crawl through tunnels that were too small and narrow for adults. They would put the children to work at coal mines at ages 5 and would mainly die before age 25. The hours these kids would work would be 4am to 5pm. Conditions in the mines were extremely dangerous with high risk of death. Some kids were killed by falling asleep in the track while moving mine carts ran them over. Others died from gas explosions. Many kids that didn’tdie on the job developed lung cancer and other diseases. Children were also employed as chimney sweeps. They would climb the walls cleaning the soot. Some of there masters would light the fireplace in order for them work faster. Most children fell and was burned alive.
In 1904, the National Child Labour Committee was formed. It was made in order to try and get congress to end child labor. Jane Adams, one of its members, said that over two million children under the age of 16 were in paid employment in America. The NCLC hired Lewis Hines as there lead investigator and photographer. There weren’t many laws against child labor, and the ones that were passed were not enforced. There were age limits and safety laws that no one payed attention to.

Hi, I’m Tyler M and I’m in Mr. Sals 20th century class. I want to learn about the holiocost because I know little about it and I want to learn more about it. I also want to learn about any kind of war I can because I find that stuff really interesting and I play call of duty alot. As far as technology goes I want to learn how to use the iPods better because this is my first time using them. I would also like to learn more about the smartboard because it seems like a cool thing.
