This illustrates my cause because its showing a heart and the British flag inside it, so it's showing nationalism by demonstrating patriotism towards their country. | |

What is the difference between aid, a treaty, and an alliance?
- an aid is someone who provides food or water, or gives aid to a certain country. They aren't alliances but they help each other. - a treaty is mostly like an agreement between countries whereas an aid just helps. -an alliance is a country or person who is in a defensive relationship against other people. So basically they're like friends but not really, more like associates or friendly with each other but on certain terms. Why isn't the U.S. part of this diagram? Does the U.S. become part of this diagram at some point? When? Why do they join? - The U.S. wasn't part of this diagram because they didn't know until it was actually happening, so when they found out it was too late, until they helped at the end. - They do become a part of this diagram at some point to become allies with Russia, France, and Britain. - They became a part of it on April 6, 1917 - I believe they joined because they knew that the strongest countries were Russia, France, and Britain, so when they joined they probably knew they'd stand a chance. What surprised me during the Immigration Activity in class is that many of the people that moved or immigrated to America, came for a better lifestyle or better jobs. What I want to know more about Ellis Island is: how many people came to Ellis Island their first year open?
Answer: In the first year, nearly 450,000 immigrants passed through the Island. (source: http://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/ellis-timeline) Civics: Active participation within societies, schools, neighborhoods, classrooms, groups, and/or organizations.
Civics has impacted my life because when I was eleven years old I went to a community resource center during the summer and there they taught us so many things and we would all help around in the community. For example, cleaning up parks, and picking up garbage by Lake Michigan. History: acquiring knowledge about significant events and individual developments over time; investigations about the past and its legacy.
History has impacted my life because when I was younger I used to live in the north side of Chicago and I remember one of the traditions my family used to do is that every Sunday we would walk to a restaurant or fast food place then afterwards go to the store and my mom would buy us a toy. But then that changed when my dad got a better job here in Woodridge, so we needed to move here and we didn't keep any of our traditions anymore. But its still as great as it was in Chicago, probably even better because its quieter and less crowded. I've been living in Woodridge/Downers Grove for almost 8 years.
