Iroquois Nation


http://www.mce.k12tn.net/indians/reports1/iroquois.htm
I watched pictures of models they made. They've done a
good job. Iroquois Indians lived in which New York state
is now. I learn that things change quickly in the same place.
For example, the Longhouse vanished and buildings appear.


I read all questions and answers in this website. I learn
more about the life in Indian culture. I also know there
are somethings still don't change after hundreds years.
Take Indian kids for example, they liked to play but most
of times they had to do chores.
I read the whole article about Black Hawk, one of the famous
chiefs. He was good at battling. He killed Indians of other
tribes when he was young. I realize although he was good at
fighting, Indians were still persecuted by Americans' guns
and con games.

Britain's Battle In WW2

http://www.battleofbritain1940.net/contents-index.html
This website is well arranged. I clicked on page10 The
Hawker Hurricane. You can find how it was designed.
I learn weapons can be used to save people, too.

This website talked about the RAF. I also clicked the "Our Last
Hour". In this war, Britain lost less soldiers than German. I
realize war always causes deaths, though you lost less soldiers.

I scan over this website and look at the picture. The picture shows
the trail of the battle between air forces. I also learned Britain
wasn't the sole country which fought with German. Also the US and the Soviet Union.

German Army In WW2

http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-weapons/enemy_ww2.htm
I look through this website and watch many
weapons. There're SMG, grenades, rifles, and
pistols. I learn that the improvement of
weapons may causes wars.

I read this website and the prices. Besides
the weapons, there are helmets and some
uniforms. After wars, those things will be-
come commodities or even mementoes.
They notice the pain of wars.
I surf this website and know different
cultures have different ways to salute. As
for German army, they raise their hands
toward the sky. It's their style.
