The Titanic Sinks!

By: Lauren

The RMS Titanic, also known as the Unsinkable Ship, set sail on her maiden voyage on April 10, 1912. It was leaving Southampton, England to reach New York. This ship was the biggest ship ever and was created by White Star Lines and was constructed by Harland & Wolff. On April 14 a terrible disaster happened. The Titanic hit an iceburg. It was 11:40pm when she grazed the side of the iceburg. Three hours later it sank. Over 1,500 people died on that fatal night. The captain, Edward J. Smith ignored warnings from other ships about iceburg sightings. They tried to turn the ship so it would not hit the iceburg. They turned but not enough. The ship started to sink at bow, making the passangers move to the stern. She split in two and sank bringing everyone in the water down too. Many froze in the -28 degrees Fahrenheit water. About 706 people survived, living to tell this tragic tale.

 

Disaster Strikes!

By: Megan

Hurricane Katrina was a devestating disaster that struck New Orleans. The death toll for Katrina is in the thousands. An estimated 80% of New Orleans, was under water and in some places the water was twenty feet deep. Katrina wiped out New Orleans and left thousands of children and families stranded on roof tops and in attics seeking shelter. Katrina destroyed everything in its path leaving nothing but tons of water behind. Rescuers were found carrying people and animals into helicopters and buses. Thousands of houses were destroyed from the inside to the outside. There was no shelter, no food, amd no one to care for them. The people who were struck by Katrina were either staying with family nearby or they were brought to the New Orleans SuperDome.

 

The Great Depression in the United States How Much We Suffered Through!

by: Danielle

 

On October 1929, the stock market crashed. Many people lost their whole life savings. The New York Stock Exchange by 1933 was less than a fifth as it had been in the beginning, in 1929. Banks failed, factories had to shut down, and business houses closed their doors. Income from farms fell a great 50 percent. By 1932 about one out of every four Americans lost their jobs. The problem was that there was a great difference between the country's productive capacity and the ability of the people to consume. Great changes in the productive techniques during and after the war raised the output of industry beyond what the U.S. could afford.

The Presidential campaign in 1932 was to discuss the causes and possible remedies of the Great Depession. Herbert Hoover entered the White House only eight months before the stock market crashed. He tried his hardest to get the industry motivated again, but was unsuccesful. The Democratic candidate, Franklin D Roosevelt, was crticizing Hoover and was ready to become president. Hoover had to depend largely on a natural process of recovery so Franklin Roosevelt was ready to use the federal government's authority to make bold experimental remedies. During the U.S. election Franklin Roosevelt had 22,800,000 votes compared to Hoover's 15,700,00. The U.S. was about to enter a new political change. Franklin D. Roosevelt was going to become the new president.

When Roosevelt became president everyone was more optimistic. He had a new program called "the New Deal." The New Deal introduced types of social and economic reform. The New Deal happened really quickly. It brought citzens a interest in government. After Roosevelt took his president's oath, the nation's banking and credit syestem was in great decline. soon many banks closed down.In 1933, millions of Americans had no career. In most cities there were bread lines. many people were searching for food, shelter, and work.

A huge help for the unemployed came from Civilian Works Adminastration. This program was made by Congress to hep men between the ages of 18 and 25. This gave men jobs to work in camps for 30 dollars About 2 million men took part of this program. Some of the work consisted of was planting tree, eliminating stream pollution, conserving coal, and much more.

We suffered through all of these tradgideies and many more, but now its finally over! People have their jobs and no more having to go to bread lines for food. No more having to search desperately for food, clothing, and shelter. Its over!

 

The Holocaust

By: Taylor

Things happen over time. Unfortunately, sometimes, things that happen are terrible , tradgic, and horrible. The Holocaust was a time that describes all of that! Newspapers all over the world published this story: even in Germany itself.

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. The Jewish population at that time was over 566,000 people! As time went by, Hitler was granted emergency powers over Germany due to the Reichstag fire. This happened on February 28, 1933. On March 24, 1933, the Parliament of Germany appoints all dictorial powers to Hitler, and he now became dictator of Germany. On April 4, 1933, the Nazies begin to destroy the Jews bit by bit. They begin on this day in time to boycott all of the Jews' shops and businesses. In September of 1933, the Nazis exclude the Jews from the arts. On September 29, 1933, the Nazis prohibit Jews from purchasing and owning land. On October 4, 1933, Nazis prohibit Jews to become newspaper editors. On November 24, 1933, the Nazis pass a law against the habitual and dangerous criminals (which allows beggars, the homeless, alcoholics, and the unemployed) to be sent to a Concentration Camp. On January 24, 1934, Jews were prohibited from something else once again. They were prohibited to work at the German Labor Front. On May 17, 1934, Jews were not allowed to have national health insurance. On July 22, 1934, Jews were prohibited from getting legal qualifications. On August 19, 1934, Hitler gets a 90% YES vote from German voters that they approve of his new laws and rules. On May 21, 1935, Jews are prohibited from serving in the military. On June 26, 1935, Nazis pass an abortion rule that women were to have abortions because the Nazis were to prevent hereditary diseases. In Januart of 1937, Nazis pass a law that bans Jews from being professional occupations, including teaching Germans, being accountants, and dentists. They were also denied tax reductions and child allowances. On April 16, 1938, Jews were ordered to register their property and health. On April 9 & 10 of 1938, an event called Kristallnacht, the night of the broken glass. This was an event when stores were looted, they burned down schools and synagogues, and thousands of Jews were arrested; hundreds were murdered. On November 25, 1938, all Jewish students were expelled from non Jewish schools. Years pass, and Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin Bunker on April 30, 1945. However, earlier on, all concentration camps were evacuated, and sick people hospitalized.

 

There's another story that is about another war called World War II (WWII). Even though it was a happy time when the war was ended, but all stories have a sad part to it. So many peole died, and the brave soldiers' spirits still live on today.

By: Lauren, Megan, Danielle, Taylor

WWII was a terrible time for countries all over the world. When the war ended, you could just imagine what everyone felt because they rejoiced, and the sad ones mourned the loss of their loved ones. No matter how anyone felt, they had a large amount of pressure lifted off their shoulders because the war was over.

The United States entered WWII by the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. Japan bombed us because they didn't want the United States to get involved in the war in Europe. The Unites States retalliated early in April 18, 1942, with the famous raid by Jimmy Doolittle, when he and his squadron bombed Tokyo. It was a terrible war. Franklin Delano Roosevelt quotes, "December 7, 1941: A day that will live in infamy,". Americans agreed. December 7, 1941 scarred so many people for life; physically and emotionally.

Parts of a Newspaper

There are thirteen sections in a newspaper. These sections are very useful because when you are reading the newspaper quickly, and you want to see what happened at the football or basketball game last night, you can simply skip ahead to the sports section. If you're looking for something that is almost halfway across the globe, you would want to look in the international section. If you want to see what's happening business-wise, you'd want to look in the business section. Listed below are the sections in a newspaper and examples of what you can find.

1. International: The international section of a newspaper tells you about news in different continents, such as Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

2. Washington: Washington's section is about things that are going on in our nation's capital

How to Use Quotation Marks

Using Quotation Marks

The primary function of quotation marks is to set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else. The quotation mark is also used to designate speech acts in fiction and sometimes poetry. Since you will most often use them when working with outside sources, successful use of quotation marks is a practical defense against accidental plagiarism and an excellent practice in academic honesty. The following rules of quotation mark use are the standard in the United States, although it may be of interest that usage rules for this punctuation do vary in other countries.

The following covers the basic use of quotation marks. For details and exceptions consult the separate sections of this guide.

Direct Quotations

Direct quotations involve incorporating another person's exact words into your own writing.

1. Quotation marks always come in pairs. Do not open a quotation and fail to close it at the end of the quoted material

2. Capitalize the first letter of a direct quote when the quoted material is a complete sentence.

Mr. Johnson, who was working in his field that morning, said, "The alien spaceship appeared right before my own two eyes."

3. Do not use a capital letter when the quoted material is a fragment or only a piece of the original material's complete sentence.

Although Mr. Johnson has seen odd happenings on the farm, he stated that the spaceship "certainly takes the cake" when it comes to unexplainable activity.

4. If a direct quotation is interrupted mid-sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation.

"I didn't see an actual alien being," Mr. Johnson said, "but I sure wish I had."

5. In all the examples above, note how the period or comma punctuation always comes before the final quotation mark. It is important to also realize that when you are using MLA or some other form of documentation, this punctuation rule may change.

When quoting text with a spelling or grammar error, you should transcribe the error exactly in your own text. However, also insert the term sic in italics directly after the mistake, and enclose it in brackets. Sic is from the Latin, and translates to "thus," "so," or "just as that." The word tells the reader that your quote is an exact reproduction of what you found, and the error is not your own.

Mr. Johnson says of the experience, "it's made me reconsider the existence of extraterestials [sic]."

6. Quotations are most effective if you use them sparingly and keep them relatively short. Too many quotations in a research paper will get you accused of not producing original thought or material (they may also bore a reader who wants to know primarily what YOU have to say on the subject).

Indirect Quotations

Indirect quotations are not exact wordings but rather rephrasings or summaries of another person's words. In this case, it is not necessary to use quotation marks. However, indirect quotations still require proper citations, and you will be commiting plagiarism if you fail to do so.

Mr. Johnson, a local farmer, reported last night that he saw an alien spaceship on his own property.

Many writers struggle with when to use direct quotations versus indirect quotations. Use the following tips to guide you in your choice.

Use direct quotations when the source material uses language that is particularly striking or notable. Do not rob such language of its power by altering it.

Martin Luther King Jr. believed that the end of slavery was important and of great hope to millions of slaves done horribly wrong.

The above should never stand in for:

Martin Luther King Jr. said of the Emancipation Proclamation, "This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice."

Use an indirect quotation (or paraphrase) when you merely need to summarize key incidents or details of the text.

Use direct quotations when the author you are quoting has coined a term unique to their research and relevant within your own paper.

When to use direct quotes versus indirect quotes is ultimately a choice you'll learn a feeling for with experience. However, always try to have a sense for why you've chosen your quote. In other words, never put quotes in your paper simply because your teacher says, "You must use quotes."
