Equal

I believe there is no difference between writing on paper and typing it on the computer but, I prefer typing. I think writing two blogs on two pieces a paper is a waist of paper. Why would you want to write it when you can just type it? We have technology for a reason. Why not use it? I would also type it than write it cause my hand writing is messy and you will not understand what I am writing.

Oregon trail

I do not like blogging but it is much better than writing it on pen and paper. But my favorite blog topic of first quarter is playing Oregon trail. Oregon trail isnt a fun game but is an addicting game. It tells the life of a journey that a family takes. Also teaches that strategies are important if you wanted to make it to your destination. This is my favorite because it gave me a chance to play a game rather than having to think of what I have to write about. Kind of what I am doing now.

New life

immigrants coming to the united states were probably excited. They wanted to start a new life and live the way they wanted. They had plenty of children so they probably wanted a better life for their children. The immigrants had a long journey to the united states but it was worth it. They were hopping for freedom and hopped for things to be perfect. The condition of the ship they were on were not good but those who survived were hopping to start a new beginning with their family.

Blood shot eyes

Factory workers were mistreated in several ways. For example, they were not properly fed. Factory workers were starved and would be happy to get a piece of bread. Another example of mistreatment is they worked from night to morning. They worked so much their eyes were red. They would fall asleep on what they were stitching. The ladys were not properly dressed. They were dressed in “un-womanly rags”. The working conditions were also dirty. They worked all day as a daily routine.

Heading west, ehausted, starving, miles away

brain sticker

gaming can potentially connect with learning in several ways. For example oregon trail teaches you the real life experiences they took while they traveled. Gaming sticks to most peoples brain than reading off a book. I played oregon trail for an hour and it was getting addicting. being able to manage my equipment and money. Also, making the right decisions to stay in a good health. It explained the obstacles they faced while on their journey. for example Fire, broken leg, and a snake bite. If i read the journey that i played i would think it was boring and not pay attention to the text.

slaves

The reconstruction affected the former slaves in many ways. Fore example, sharecropping. Ex slaves were granted a piece of land that they had to pay for. The land owners also charged interest. There were also disadvantages of the ex-slaves having a piece of land. Many of them would fall in debt because they would be lent tools and supplies that they could not afford to pay off. The ex-slaves were still being treated like slaves because the land owners were not paying them much money. Also, the ex-slaves were doing all the work for the land owners.
