במקום שאין איש
.תישתדל להיות איש
I think that this quotes telling you that when everyone is not acting like a man and goofing around, step up and act like a man.
I think that To bring this quote to the class would mean that I have to be a little less cray cray.
What do you think invasive species means?
I Think it means a species that invades other habitats
What does it mean to invade something?
It means to come into something without asking and do bad stuff.
Can animals invade?
Yes they can because they can steal other habitats
What about plants?
Yes because they can invade people home for an example moss.

They might lower the numbers because of the fewer places to live.
Some Native Americans do not like the term Native American. Explain why they reject this name.
I think they reject the name because they think that they aren’t really native anymore
One person in the BBC Video said that living in poverty does not mean they are poor. What do you think he meant by that?
I think that they meant that The native Americans live in poverty but they can still make money and not be poor.
Some Native Americans approve of the team name Redskins. What is their reason for approving this name while others do not?
I think that they think that it’s okay because maybe it strongly represents their culture.
In the CNN segment, there was a story told about a woman who used to approve of the name Redskins, and now does not. What changed? Why does she no longer approve of the name?
I think that the reason she approved of the name earlier was that it was something that strongly represented their culture and how they lived. What change was that they stopped doing some of the things that they were doing for their culture and people still thought it was an accurate representation of them.
How can non-Native people help others learn about Native Americans current issues? What can we do to help?
I think that we can learn to respect the native Americans as we would do to our other friends.
How have you changed as a group member this year in ETC?

Explain why or why not Mascots meant to resemble Native American people be changed.
I think they should change the Mascots because of all the common Native Americans who are very offended by this, I mean, Do you really think Native Americans look like that even nowadays?
Should Native American people be given something in return for these mascots? Why?
I do not think they should be given anything else because giving an entire different mascot is pretty big to be honest
Do you think it would be important to you to change these mascots if a mascot was made of you? Explain.
I think I would want them to change it because I do not feel comfortable with my face on a football team it’s unsafe to me.
Should these teams and the government give Native Americans reparations? Why?
I think they should not because again changing an entire mascot is pretty darn big

Explain how your group worked together before the debate (during research). Did you work well together?
I think that we were arguing a lot with each other but for a good cause to gather the correct Information
Explain how your group worked together during the debate. Did you work well together?
During the debate, we planned out who was gonna talk and when they would talk.
What can you do differently next time? Why will this help you and your group improve?
I think we did find we were much more serious about our topic than the other group because they were using things like Spongebob and Stitch
Explain how this debate influenced your opinion on Columbus.
I still think that we should just celebrate him because he is history and everyone in history has been bad before
Today in science we tested a bean seed and a potato for starch to answer the question, “Do plants contain the food that organisms need?” Below, is my scientific explanation that explains what we learned and discovered from our lab today.
Image of the lab:
Claim:
There is starch in potatoes!
Evidence:
Today we tested Iodine on different things to test them for starch. The only one that turned black was the potato, therefore, has starch
Reasoning
I know that a potato is a food that organisms need because when we tested Iodine on the potato it turned black saying that it has iodine
