Trail of tears
The Trail Of Tears was the forcible relocation of the Native Americans, like the The Cherokee, the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, the Creek, and the Seminoles. In 1838 it was in Red Clay, Tennessee, They got to use blankets from a hospital in Tennessee. Most of the Native Americans died before arriving because in their way they got hungry and started to starve, they mostly died of starvation. They were basically the ones that got affected by the Trail Of Tears because in their way they had to cross in the harsh winters and cold rains. They suffered starvation disease and tiredness, about 40,000 Natives out of 15,000 died and didn't even get to know where they were going to migrate to. The Trail Of Tears was the relocation of Native Americans because the Cherokee was forced to give up their land east of the Mississippi River and migrate in a area near Oklahoma. The reason that the Cherokee's were forced to move and migrate of a other place is called the (The Removal Act.) if the Cherokee's tried to bury a dead relative they would be shot, I don't think that is fair for the relatives because they are just trying to protect their bodies from bieng founded, that is what i think about the bad that it would be for soldiers to shoot at them, but that is my opinion. Something that i really liked about the Trail Of Tears was their bravery. Even though they were mostly all men but still to walk and to try to hold their starvation that they had they are pretty brave. They fought threw diseases and most other bad things but some still settled to survive.

Getting KIcked Out
I think the trail of tears was a sad time for all the indians who went threw it. But I think it was brutal more than anything. I can not imagine going threw what those indians went threw.They just got kicked out of their homes and had a lot of there people die and had to walk along way in the freezing cold. Just because some greedy people wanted all of their land witch was rightfully the indians land. I liked how we went on are own little trail of tears. It was not near as bad as the real trail of tears but i think everybody got the message you were trying to send everybody. I think the message you were trying to send is that the trail of tears kept getting more and more terrible. At first officer Luthy kicked us out of our room and sent us to a room without any desks and then some other teacher kicked us out of that room. so then we went over to the stairs for a while where it was colder and even more unconvertible than the classroom with no desks. And after the stairs we went outside where it was pretty cold and we stayed there till the end of school. but I think when we went on are own little trail of tear I thought it was a pretty fun class activity. I hope we can do more class activity's like that before the end of the year.

First term at provo high school
My first term at Provo High School was a little bit strange. Everything was so differant compaired to Jr. High School and elementry school. I came from a charter school called walden school of libral arts on univercity avenue. It was a very small school it only had about 200 students total in the whole school and had grades Kintergarten threw twelveth grade. I went there from sixth grade to eighth grade and I didnt like it to much so I decided to come here to Provo High School. It was quite a change with students. I was use to knowing everybody because their was only 200 students in the whole school. But now I am going to a school with almost 1800 students. I went from knowing everybody to knowing almost nobody. It was a strange first term but it was a good sort of strange. I thought it would be differant than i thought it would be. I pictured alot of things differant. I pictured the inside of the school differant I thought the students would be differant I also thought the teachers would be differant. But it was a good type of differant. I think almost anything you think about before you do it will be differant after you do it. You kind of see it in a differant way. Somtimes when stuff like this happens the outcome is good and other times when stuff like this happens the outcome sucks. At first I thought it was going to suck but after ive been here for a while its not so bad. It is actually pretty fun at Provo High.
My typical saturday
well on my saturdays I like to try and get as much done as possible. Every saturday is differant for me. I dont like to waist one of my days of and just sleep or sit on the couch and watch T.V . I like to get outside in the great outdoors and get some fresh air. one of my favorite things to do on a nice saturday morning or a nice saturday afternoon is to get up and get on all of my motorcycle gear and go ride up on the mountain up obove my dads house. It is also very fun to wake up early on a nice saturday morning and go hiking up on the mountains above my dads house. But some weekends it is fun just to take a ride up payson canyon and over look the view of the vally. I like to go up the canyon especially after it rains because utah vally seems so clean and clear plus the whole canyon smells like pine trees. Or sometimes me and my dad like to go golfing on saturdays when it is nice and sunny out side we normally go up to gladstan up on elk ridge. Sometimes I catch up on homework I missed over the week. Because after school monday threw friday i have a part time job mixing hair color for the students and ordering product at a place called Image works acadamy of hair desine in Spanish Fork.

Perfect Teacher
Wll to be a good teacher you need to have a happy medium between being fun and happy and joyfull and also having dicipline. Because if you are to easy on your class they will turn into lazy people and they will not want to learnanything and theywont be prepaird properly for for the world outside high School. But if you are to strict with your class your students will not like you and they will dred going to your class. And most likley they will end up doing poorly in your class. It works out for bolth the teacher and the students for the teacher to have a happy medium. It works out for the teacher because most of the students will appreciate a you and like you and since the students like youthey are more likley to get a higher grade average around the A and B work. And if your students are passing you will look good to the other teachers and to your school and also other schools as well. It goes for the students to if he or she likes your class they will go to your class and they will also be more motavated to get higher grades and with higher grades they will fill better about theirselves. It is also nise for a teacher to have a good classroom to work in. It is nice to work in a classroom where you have a little time at the end of the class period to work on homework. About fiveteen or twenty minutes would be cool and it helps students a lot.
