By the time I splashed around, happy just to be alive. That's when the hand reached down and grabbed me. Before I had a chance to think, I had been hauled into a small boat ** and dumped there like a load of fish. ** "You made it," he said. I nodded. "Did you get the map?" he asked. I sat up, outraged. "Is that all you can think about?" I demanded. "No. Of course not. But did you get it?" I pulled the map, now waterlogged, from the folds of my shirt and tossed it to the floor of the boat. ** Jeremy looked visibly relieved. ** "Are you all right?" he asked. "I--I think so," I said. "What happened to...uh, to Diablo?" I shrugged. "I don't know. I didn't see him." There was a pause.

= __Belief Paragraph #1:__ = Hello, I'm Aryash, and I am 12 years old. I live in Dhaka, Bangladesh and I go to the American International School Dhaka (AISD). My hobby is to play soccer. I will be talking about believes today. Everyone around the whole wide world have believes. Beliefs are very important in life. Belief means to accept or to strongly feel that an idea is surly true. Through out my life I have developed many different believes that I still believe now. Here are a some of my strongest believes.

I believe that Humanity is very important. I think that all human beings have equal rights for everything. All humans are special and unique in their own way and everybody should respect that speciality and uniqueness. Everyone should be a good human being in their life, by being honest, not doing anything bad,and etc.This is one of my strong believes because outside I see that many people that aren't being treated equally or respectfully. I got this believe when I was 9, I was stuck in traffic and I saw  3 guys throbbing a small young boy . He was getting downtrodden  because he didn't go get the ball, so me and my dad went and told those guys to stop. We helped the boy, and from that day I got this believe. If everyone is treated and respected equally then this world will really be a better and equal place, everyone would have a equal and happy life.

Every human being who works hard will always achieve their goal. This is one of my strongest believes. I believe this because I have seen many examples. Like Lionel Messi, when he was young he worked and practiced really hard, so now he is a big football player. Many people in this world take advantage of hard working people. When I was in 4th grade, I was working in a group project but I was the only one working my group, the other group members were just having fun. Later one day my teacher saw my group, and when the projects were over, and the grades were put up I got an A but they got F's. So whenever there is a group project I always work hard even if my group members are working or not. I got this belief from my dad, because this is even one his strongest beliefs, so now both of us share a strong belief. People who work hard will always achieve their goal.

Another strong beliefs of mine is there should be no war in this world, only peace. In the past there have been many wars among countries and cultures. Why war, why not solve the problem peacefully. When the british empire had taken over India, many Indians fought for their independent country but they failed. Later Mahatma Gandhi stood up and peacefully got India to be a independent country. Many innocent people die because of war but peacefully no one dies. I developed this belief when we started reading a novel called When My Name Was Keoko, this book made me realize that because of wars many people have to suffer. I felt very melancholy when I got to know recently that there was a mini war in Motijheel (Dhaka) many lives were taken over there. I even feel really woebegone for families who loose their close ones in war. So I believe that there should be only peace in this world and no war at all.

Now that you know of my strongest believes, I think you must be wondering what you believe in. I am pretty sure that you also must be wondering how all of this is related to my life and who I am and how I am like. .Let me tell you a little more about myself. I never fight with anyone and I always support peace. I am always hard working and I also encourage other people to work hard. I also treat everyone equally and respectfully. I think that we must have some common believes. I hope that throughout my life I will have the same believes and I will support them. If we do all these things together, than this world will be a better place. Thank You.

This I Believe essay.

This essay was by Joshua Yuchasz.

I chose this essay because when I first saw the title I thought it would be interesting and it was so I chose it. This is an essay about a guy named Joshua Yuchasz, who talks about how he was a lot like his classmates but in some other things he was very different from the others. Joshua believes that its important to accept people for who they are. and how their differences are important. He believes this because of his past., he got teased a lot because he had big interests in other subjects then other students. But he thinks even though he has different subject interests they have no right to be mean and tease him about it, because we are all different in our own ways.

= __Assignment 1-__ __** Pre-Unit Reflection ** __ = Personal Beliefs are important values that guide your daily life. What we believe in influences who we are, how we act, and the decisions we make.

__** Directions **__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms',sans-serif; font-size: small;">On your wiki page, write a paragraph about your personal beliefs. Choose 3-4 personal beliefs. Religion is one personal belief that is very important to many people. However, it is not the only personal belief. What are some of your personal beliefs? In your paragraph, you may certainly include religion as one of your beliefs, but be sure to include others. Be sure to explain why you have or how you developed each belief. You may also wish to add a few images.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms',sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you're having difficulty thinking of your personal beliefs, take a look at this podcast. For the 100 Day celebration at his school, this kindergartener made a list of 100 things he believes in. His top 30 beliefs are in the podcast. Some are at a kindergarten level, but some are quite interesting.

My Beliefs:
===Well the truth is that I have a lot of beliefs, so I will just say the top ones. First of all, since I am Human, I believe in humanity. I am hindu and I believe in my religionI believe that every human being is unique and special in their own way. I even believe that if you are hard working then you will be able to achieve your dreams and goals. I believe that what ever is your dream you should always try to live it. There was also quote said by Mahatma Ghandi "To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest." Everyone have dreams, but the people who actually work hard and try to achieve it, will achieve it. I believe that you will should never give up on the thing you are best at. There is a quote said by Abraham Lincoln “Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.” When I get older some of my beliefs will change and some won't. ===


 * ====**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Big Understanding/ **====

**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Essential Question **
||  || ====**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What have I learned about this? **====

**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">understand this? **
||  || ====**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Connections to today or to self **==== ||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Interaction between cultures ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">changes both cultures.
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.066em; line-height: 1.5;">Sometimes interactions could be positive or negative. The WMNWK Story helped me understand this better. The positive interactions between Japanese and Korean were that they had exchanged few ideas. The negative part between Japanese and Koreans was that the Japanese ruined some of the Korean culture. ====

||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Many Korean restaurants serve Japanese soup because now the soup's part of the Korean Culture. ====

||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Trade and War are the main ways ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">cultures come into contact.
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cultures trade other with other cultures. They exchange items to other cultures, and in exchange receive items too. They even exchanged ideas with each other, the most popular location to trade was the silk road. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.066em; line-height: 1.5;">Due to this exchange of goods, cultures change. ====

||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When two people from different cultures talk, they might exchange ideas, this is called trading ideas. ====

||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is culture? ==== ||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Culture is many characteristics a person should know to be in a group. for example food they eat, their clothing,religion, and etc. I learned this from the HA! textbook. ==== ||   || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">One of the stations we went to was the Ghanian Game and that was part of their culture. ==== ||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do people identify with their ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">cultures?
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">People identify another persons culture by looking at the food they eat, language they speak, clothes they wear, the religion they believe in, and etc. ==== ||   || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> In my culture there is a religion i follow, that is not in any other culture. ==== ||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How does cultural diffusion ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">take place?
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cultural diffusion takes place when ideas and things are transferred from one culture to another. For example: cultural music, cultural clothes, cultural food, and etc. One of the most cultural took place in Kashgar, a city in the middle of the silk road. ==== ||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Koreans and Japanese restaurants both sell a same soup that was originally Japanese but then during the Japanese occupation, ideas were transferred. ==== ||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What are some historical examples ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">of diffusion?
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Romans started wearing silk from China. I learned this from Ch.24 ==== ||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Korean restaurant served Japanese soup. ==== ||
 * ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How do people from different cultures ====

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">negative ways?
||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I think our interactions are positive as racism remarks are not tolerated. One way of interaction is our United Nations day! Everyone dresses up in their traditional dress. Neutrality would be people tolerating each other. Negative could be when there are racial riots. ==== ||  || ====<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since we are living in Bangladesh, we don't get to celebrate our festivals because fireworks aren't allowed here. ==== ||

====The main four connections from the past to the modern world are going<range type="comment" id="405800712_1"> to be in this paragraph</range id="405800712_1">. The connections are going to be from the past of the hominids, sumerians, and ancient indians. One great tool the hominids made was the knifes, we use a lot now days. For cutting fruits vegetables, meat and many more things to eat. I use the knife to cut and eat food when i am hungry. The sumerians made a really good tool to they made the written language. I use the written then i can see what the instructions say. The Ancient indians also made a great tool the sewer system. I go to the bathroom and all my toilet stuff goes throw the sewer system to the location where all the toilet<range type="comment" id="405800712_2">s are store====

// 4. Which life skill (time management, independence, organization, etc.) do you think you practiced while you made this cube? **Explain** how you practiced it. //
====// I practiced how to organize and work on my time management by dividing all the documents and did the hardest documents first and did the easier ones at the end, and I had everything planned out i the beginning.//====

//What parts of the flight activity were the most challenging? Why?//
====//I guess the last day was the most challenging for us because first we rushed to get our flight plan done before the three clovers, later we had a mistake so they won. After a while we submitted our flight plan again and we got a bad fate card, we had to find a alternative city. So we had to finish day 5 then move to day 6 really fast because we only had chances of getting third, we were successful and sad. We were sad because we could have come first but we came third :(//====

====//Name two life skills (e.g. teamwork, problem solving, time management, independence, organization, communication, etc. ) you worked on during this flight simulation. For **each** life skill you chose, give an example of how you worked on it during your flight simulation experience.//====

====// Time management- we needed a lot of time management because to be organized and on task to complete everything. We were really good at time management because we were done with our flight plan and we even finished our diary in class twice. So that was a relief.//====
