Japanese American National Museum

1. what did you like most about the Japanese American National Museu?
i liked the first thing we were shown,the taiko and the types of music they showed us.i also found the origami interesting.

2. Name one thing you learned.
one thing i learned ws that the concentration camps that the Japanese Americans were put into were built very quickly and only for that purpose.

3.What did you learn about the Japanese-American experience?
i learned that people that were only half Japanese were still put into the concentration camps. and they were only given a short notice depending on where they lived to gather their things and leave.

) What is the theme of this movie? What message do you think this movie is trying to convey?
i think the theme of this movie is to see if one person has an idea like pay it forward if it could really change something

2)Which character do you find the most interesting? Why?
the most interesting character to me was trevor. he was only 11-12 and had made a change


3)If you were to write the movie script for Pay It Forward, Part 2, what kinds of characters would you have in the movie? What would you have them do to “Pay It Forward?”

im not sure what i would do for a second pay it forward movie. i think it would be generally the same idea...except he didn't die. i dono what i would have them do but it would be the same concept and yea

i dont think this project had a big affect on how the 9th graders treat eachother. at this school, for the most part, people are pretty nice to eachother. i dont know if it made too much of a difference, but it was interesting. i didn't notice different people being nice to people they didn't really know. maybe i just wasn't paying attention...

if this involved 10th and 11th graders i dont think it would make much of a difference. it would just make the group of people involved alot bigger. it's different from most high schools ive heard about, all grades mix and socialize. most of my friends high schools are very seperated when it comes to grade level. in this case it probably wouldn't make much difference.

if we continued this throughout the rest of the year, everyone would just get bored with the entire subject. i know i would. if it was for the same person through the whole entire year, it would get annoying and by the end of the year we would either love them or hate them. i sure hope we dont continue this for an entire YR

?

i have absolutely no idea who my so called "angel" is. either way it doesn't make much difference to me, because this project didnt make much sense,atleast to me. i feel a little bad for the people who didn't do anything nice,afterall that's 50 points lost. i hope whoever had to be nice to me atleast got credit for this

in one class the person that was chosen for me needed help with an assignment. we sit near eachother so i helped her out. i didnt give the answer but helped w/instructions and explain what we were supposed to do.
a few days earlier she seemed upset but i dont know her all that well so it would have been so awkward and go up to her and just say hi or what's wrong or something of the sort.
i dont think this project should have been worth so many points, 50 points to be nice to someone you dont know is a bit odd to me. i just hope that helping someone with homework and classwork will get me credit

thank god it's friday and the day is...kinda almost over. i hate being here cuz all my other friends went to some wierd Christian school. theyre trying to convince me to go there but i would never survive in a religious christian school w/all the dress codes and rules. they dont allow hair dye and boots above your ankle,which just kills it for me. hopefully i just need to survive another year in this school then i can switch. too bad all the really good schools cost an outrageous amount of money. but it's almost the weekend,which is the 2 days a week i get to see my friends. they all talk about how much they love Pacifica, and i sit quietly thinking "shut up, pay for my tuition and i'll switch there" saturday is also almost completely taken up by violin lessons and ensemble classes i'm forced to go to. all that's left in Sunday at the mall at power anime. todays dragging by incredibly slowly....my so called "friend" keeps getting on my nerves. he knows he's doing it on purpose just to annoy me. and this new project where you have to be nice to one person,in my opinion the project is just pointless. so what, you say "hi i like your shirt" and walk off,gain 50 points, and never talk to them again! this day just needs to end already.....
