My book, The acorn people, is about kids and teens with disabilities in the book the kids with disabilities go to a summer camp and people who have never taken care of kids with disabilities take care of them it goes through their everyday life and getting ready in the morning. This is different to my culture because I down have to do the extra task in the morning I shower get dressed pack my bag and go to school; on the other hand, then need someone else to help get dressed. It takes a lot longer to get ready in the morning and they might need help moving to their next class or need help learning. in my book, it tells how these kids will go about doing summer camp activities like swimming eating and climbing.
The first thing that the kids
in this summer camp did was go swimming they needed extra help swimming a lot of them used floating objects to help one of the kids that had his leg amputated due to cancer got in the water and was really fast. One of the other kids they called spider because he had all his arm and leg so he looked like he had extra compared to everyone else like a spider. another didn't want to co swimming so he went over to the woods and grabs some acorns and made a neckless that is why the book is called the acorn people. When I go swimming I can walk to the other pools with ease; I can go up stairs to go down water slides; I can splash water at each other jump into the pool like a canon ball to make big splashed. I will get snacks during a break. At the end, I can dry off with and go home earlier than kids in the book they each needed help drying off and getting back the cabin. When the kids go to eat they sit in groups based on their disability. Some need help cutting up food or getting in there mouth. In my book the narrator said that the camp was not ready for a number of children there. because that was the only thing that they looked forward to in the summer.
The Muckleshoot are a Native American tribe are a part of the Coast Salish people. their territory can be found located in Washington. They are recognized as the Muckleshoot Tribe, they are composed of generations of different tribal groups who inherited Puget Sound areas and occupied river drainages from the rivers confluence in Auburn to their reservations in the Cascades.
Modern day Native American are widely known as stewards of the environment who fight for conservation and environmental issues. The position of the many Native American as environmentalists and conservationists is justified based on the perception that before European colonists arrived in the Americas, Native Americans had little to no effect on their environment as they lived in harmony with nature. This idea is challenged by Shepard Krech III in his work, The Ecological Indian. In The Ecological Indian, Krech argues that this image of the noble savage was an invented tradition that began in the early 1970’s, and that attempts to humanize Native Americans by attempting to portray them as they really were. Krech’s arguments are criticized by Darren J Ranco who in his response, claims that Krech fails to analyze the current state of Native American affairs, falls into the ‘trap’ of invented tradition, and accuses Krech of diminishing the power and influence of Native Americans in politics. This essay examines both arguments, but ultimately finds Krech to be more convincing as Krech’s
As I was starting my homework, I heard my mom yell "Honey! Come down for dinner!!". As I went down the stairs, an aroma of buttery mashed potatoes filled the air. As soon as I sat down at the table, my father asked the same question he does everyday, "what did you learn at school today sweetheart?" "Well, I read a story called "Block Party" and we had to identify the theme of the story, which was that you dont necessarily need a mother to grow up well, get advice, help regarding more personal problems, or to have a female role model in your life. I agree with the theme of the story because if you need advice you can always ask your friends, or or if you are having more personal problems you could go to other relatives in your family. Also, you could have another female role model, such as an aunt or a grandmother.
The objective of this article is to inform the reader about the Apalachee Indians interaction with the French, English, and Spanish forces, as well to show the lifestyle of the Apalachee Indians, in which he uses mainly primary resources for his article. One of the many conflicts stated in this article started with the Spanish disapproval of some of the Apalachee customs like “Tribal dancing featuring scalps taken in raids” (Covington, 1972) and also the act of scalping were outlawed by the village council, in which causes a revolt that turned out unsuccessful for the Indians. Therefor the Spanish punishes all the Apalachee men as well all the ones that were loyal to the Spanish by forcing them to contribute in labor which “was hard work
With the thought of summer camp comes the recollection of cabins filled overstuffed with bunk beds, campfires, and mess hall meals with the loads of friends we met at the opening dance. Summer camp is a childhood memory for many of us, one that changed our youth, usually for the better. Such camp memories and activities still hold true today, even for children with disabilities. The inclusive classroom that takes place during the school year has now begun to carry over into the summer months at camps across the country, whether they be overnight for the whole summer, day camps or weekend camps.
Students in Japan ride the subway while an Australian girl rides her bike. Travel by boat is common in Peru and Egypt, but Canadians ride snowmobiles. Students in Sudan and Africa ride animals such as donkeys and horses, and in England and South Africa students walk to school. I would use this book with a first grade class. I would use this book at the beginning of a unit about school around the world. At the end of the book there is a map and word bank of all the different countries mentioned in the book. I would make copies of that map and ask the students to match the student to the

Later, she finds out that the secret white societies, the Ku Klux Klan, the White Brotherhood, and the Camellias of Luzana, caused the trouble.
The Amish people have found encountered a struggle in this their culture that has led to people dropping out of the community to search for answers. The Amish come across rare genetic disorders that are nameless (foreign to doctors) and one known as mental retardation. These and others alike have been prevalent due to the evolutionary theory. The evolutionary theory helps us understand that genetic disease can become the norm in secluded populations through the founder effect and can help prevent future causes of genetic disease.
My first book was “The Only Lonely Panda” by Jonny Lambert. For the most part I followed the same format that I had planned for “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”. The group was smaller so we sat in a half moon shape with me in the front. Still keeping everything on their level. I started by asking the children about the cover and the pictures inside. We talked about pandas and who had seen pandas at the zoo. We also talked about how pandas eat bamboo and how they can be so big and eat leaves. Even though the group was smaller, I still double panned so all the students got a good look at the pictures. Throughout the story, I asked the student various questions about the different animal’s colors and why pandas would have a hard time dancing and

Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People" is a story told through the examination of the relationships between the four main characters. All of the characters have distinct feelings about the others, from misunderstanding to contempt. Both Joy-Hulga, the protagonist, and Manley Pointer, the antagonist, are multi-faceted characters. While all of the characters have different levels of complexity, Joy-Hulga and Manley Pointer are the deepest and the ones with the most obvious facades.
The bus is filled with children ranging from grades six to twelve. There is chatter surrounding me. People are discussing their hobbies, homework, and weekend plans. Imagine a girl squeezing through the aisle, while getting pushed to the left and to the right. She takes a seat and looks over her shoulder. There are three more students lounging next to her. One is blasting his music.Another is talking on her cell phone. The third person is shouting to his friend across the bus. As she hangs off her seat, she ponders about how convenient it would be to have an after school club. An after school activity that everyone would appreciate would be a book club because members can discuss the books, find unfamiliar genres to read, and establish new friendships.

At the Boy Scout summer camp I worked at every Wednesday we would put on Native American dances and an open camp for visitors to come in and watch. The problem with doing these shows and open camp is that not all of the families are able to go see some of the Scouts camps because they are disabled. At the camp we have a hill called “suicide hill” because of the length and the angle of this hill that leads to all of the campsites besides three of them. An improvement that would be for these events would to offer some kind of transportation so that disabled visitors can see their child or grandchild’s campsite. Also, more handicap parking will allow more visitors into the camp to watch the show and
