Wave Questions
1.) Movements like the wave can be defeated by going against it and not worry about what may happen to you. You could form a group of people who agree with your opinion and band together against the leader of the movement. You could also try to talk to the leader and ask if he could end the movement. Another way that movements like the Wave could be defeated is you could announce an assembly for only the members of the movement and then when everyone is seated, tell them that the movement has come to an end and they can go back to how everything was, like the movement never even existed. Those are ways that movements like the Wave can be defeated.
2.) This film says that authority and power can be a bad thing if you use it to manipulate people into joining a movement like the wave. At first they might agree to it, but as it continues they'd realize that the joke should have ended right away. Some people might continue to go along with it but, others will try to bring it to an end. Authority and Power are nothing if you don't know how to use it for anything other than manipulation. That is what this film says about authority and power.
3.)What the experiment says about the cause of the Holocaust is that Hitler went after the uneducated people and told them how the Jews were the reason they lost the war and that all of the Jewish people should be killed. The Nazis all believed that Hitler was telling them the truth. Hitler despised the Jews so much that he blamed them for losing the war and wanted them dead. The Wave was an experiment that got out of hand just like the Holocaust became a dangerous time for all of the Jews. That is what i think the experiment says about the cause of the Holocaust.

Real life Math
Today we made Choclate chip Muffins.Everything went very well. I had no problems with anything. I learnt that visualizing/modeling is alot easier then going through the processes. Next time I'd want to make cookies. It was really fun.

"For Angela" Journal response
”Why do you think no one on the bus stopped the boys from doing what they were doing? What might that say about the society in which we live? “
I think nobody on the bus stopped the boys from doing what they were was because they didn't want to end up in the middle of it so they just kept to themselves and minded their own business. What that might say about the society in which we live in is that some people just don't care about anybody but their selves and they couldn't care less about what's going on around them and what's happening to other people. But if something terrible happened to them that is when they want everyone to start caring about what's happening to them and nobody else. But if they don't care about other people but themselves then nobody will want to help them because they turned their back on everyone else instead of caring about it they just ignored it and continued with their own lives instead of helping someone else with what people were saying about them and stereotyping their culture because of what they heard from the media and what they saw on movies. it's not a great society to live in where people care more about their own lives and can't even spare a minute or so just to tell someone to stop bothering the person that they're hurting and tell them to think about how they would feel if they were in that situation and somebody walked up to them and started saying things about who they are, where they come from and what they believe in.
But sometimes for that to happen in the society which we live in would be a huge miracle and it would also feel like you are dreaming it and you feel like it will never happen which it won't happen unless you can make it happen and make people listen to what you have to say and stand up for those who are getting picked on , humiliated, teased, stereotyped just because of their race and because of what people have heard about them on television, in movies and the place which nobody can believe why and that's your friend sometimes it even comes from you. If we all stand up for not just ourselves but everyone we care about our society would be a lot better than it is right now. Now that would be the greatest miracle that ever happened. And it would be a lot nicer to place to live where nobody worries about their race being humiliated. It still bugs me that racism, prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping all still exist although you may not like it but it does exist, very sadly, in most parts of the world. That’s what i think that says about the society in which we live in.

Real Life Math:Cooking with Fractions
Today we cooked Apple Crisp,Yes I liked doing this because it was very fun figuring out how to double the recipe. It was very fun to do this with my friends and I learned that fractions and units of measure are very useful and very important to learn about when you are trying to figure how much you need to use if you are trying to double a recipe so it feeds more than it's supposed to feed .An example would be if you had 1/8 of a cup of Sugar and you doubled it, it would be 2/8 cups of Sugar. I also learned that by doing this instead of just visualizing it was way more effective. I also learned that simplifying is very important. It was definetly a successful experiment. It was also alot of fun and extremely messy too. But it was fun altogether. I can't wait to see what the next thing we do is!!
