Answer

1. Name one idea you have after this visit that connects to the idea of using resources!
Garment is a really good resource for Bangladesh to get money from other countries by eporting. Also Bangladeshi can get money really easly if they work in a garment factories.

2. The two observation i made on the field trip are that Lots of the population of bangladesh work in garment factories. The other one is, both the places we went, they export their stuff. They do not give it to bangladesh and also they make garments on oder.

3. One question I have is where do they export their stuff? And how do they solve problems that they face?

The Flex Day

Elliot’s Expose

When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.

"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)


Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)

I think he means that if we let bullying go on we are also a part of it .Also people can bully on anything. And one day you can be the victim. So you sould stop this.

Blog Question: After the Bully Lab was renamed, the Revealers, and the stories of the three Darkland students were released and well received by the student body, Elliot wanted to publish Russell’s narrative about Richie punching Russell in the face.
1) Why was Russell so opposed to the idea (pg. 110)? Explain. (4 pts)
2) What is happening to the relationship between Russell and Richie. (3 pts)
3) Two Peer Comments (4 pts each)

Blog Answer:

1)Russell was so opposed to the idea because he tough that Richie was changing. He also helped him when he was going to be hit by Burke and Blanchette. So he though that he hitted him but he also helped and was nice to him.(pg 96 and 97.)

2)Well the relationship becoming little bit nice. I do not think so that they have the relation like the bullier and the victim because bullier do not helps the victim.(pg96and97)
