Daniels Story Expository

Daniels Story Expository

Imagine Erica, Peter or Daniel's mother are still alive. Pick one of the three characters and ask yourself, "What questions would you like to ask the character?". Explain why your questions are important to you. Tell the character what you've learned and how you feel after hearing their story. If you can relate her experiences to any conditions facing your generation, explain those connections. Describe for the character what you will do to teach future generations the lessons you've learned from studying the Holocaust.


The person I chose was Erika. the first question I would ask is how does it feel to lose a loved because of their race or view? I would ask this because It is hard to imagine losing someone you know because they weren't part of the perfect race or they simply opposed someones view. The next Question i would ask is how do you feel about about Germans and other people responsible for other genocides? I would ask this because i would like to know weather or not they hate the entire German race or hate people responsible for other genocides. The last question i would ask is how did you feel when you were split from your family? I would ask this because it is hard to imagine being ripped away from your family, ripped away from your life. I learned that Hitler discriminated Jewish people from the rest of the Germans, the only real difference being their religion, their beliefs. I learned that they were forced to help the Germans build thing for them, in a way helping the Germans kill people. To teach future generations I will tell them all i know about the holocaust.

Progress Report Reflections

What do you think of your progress report? What are you happy with? Why are you not happy with?

I am mostly happy with my progress report. I am not really happy about my social studies mark . I think the rest of my marks are pretty good. I think that I did pretty good considering the class average on some assignments. I think that overall my marks are pretty good.

What can you do during term 2 in order to improve your progress report?

In general I will put more effort into school. I will put extra effort in to assignments. I will make sure when I miss a day of school I will figure out what we did and catch up on what I missed. I will continue paying attention and learning.
