Starter Post

We are Brittany Baker and Mackenzie Reinhart. We attend New Riegel High School as freshmen. Our Language Arts class is doing a project on Patterns in History and our topic is Human Trafficking. Our class has also previously read Night by Elie Weisel. It is the story of a holocaust survivor.We are looking into modern topics that reveal similar, repetitious patterns of history. For this project we are posting artifacts (projects) on our blog. This project is a great way of learning about this subject.

We choose 4 projects from 4 different categories. The first category is informative. We are to present facts and not opinions. It basically explains what this topic is. The next category is personal. We have to act like the victim and tell their story. It is meant to be very emotional. The third category is evaluation. We have to compare and contrast patterns amongst both the topic and the holocaust telling what the leaders were like, who was targeted and why, how they maintained power, and how they obtained power. The last category is How-to. We tell how to make a change. We explain how we can help victims, help stop the topic, and stop it from happening in the future. I hope you enjoy what we are going to post. Thanks!
