In the class short movie, I played one of the girls in class that can't stop talking. When the teacher has his out burst in class, he walks over to the group of girls that won't stop talking and he let them no how he feel about them always talking in class. I doesn't say it in the nice way. This role, was a role that you see in a lot of movies about school, because i feel that in real life there is always a group of girls who play this role.

I think our movie showed how a teacher let their problem outside of work effect them at work. In our movie the teacher had just broke up with his girlfriend and he was taking it very hard, he stared drinking at work and didn't want to teach his class. The thing that mad our school movie different form was our movie didn't make the teacher seem like a big hero and he was saving the kids that every body gave up on . The teach was the one with the problem, but the kids didn't to be heros they just let him deal with his problems on his own . So in our there was no hero .

In our movie the whole class wasn't disrespectful, and all over the place like the student s we saw in almost all the moves we saw in class. Instead of making a movies that mad all the kids seem like problem children, in our movie the teacher had the problem. I feel our class movie was really different from the movies saw , nobody was trying to save anyone .

By watching the movies clips in class it seems students want to learn more when they feel the teacher is trying to connect to them, other then just teaching them about thing they feel they will never use. In all the movies we watch when the teacher stood in front of the class and was just trying to teach them they didn't even want to hear the teacher out but once the teacher tried to deeply connect to them thats when they gave the teacher a chance and had a lot of respect for the teacher and the students want to hear want the teacher was trying to teach.

List of ideas

1) there should be kids that act out at first

2) there should be a person that don't let the teacher get to them as fast as everyone else

3) it should be more about the kids then the teacher(like what makes them act out)

4) teacher should show that they care about the students and isn't there to teach them

5) teacher should have some thing miss in there life so they can be able to relate with the students

The book I read was Freedom's Children by Ellen Levine, it was a book of stories by thirty black teenagers growing up during segregation. The setting of the book was in the south between the 1950's and the 1960's. The teens each told the their stories about what they went through during this time. The talked about the unfar things they went through just because the color of their skin. Some of the things they talked about was, sitting in front of the bus and not welling to give up their set, being some of the first to integrate public school's as well as eatting at all white restaurants. That was just to list a few of the things they did to get treated equal and get freedom. By fighting for their rights they were they face arest, violence and even death.

This book relates well with my topic because in some of the stories they talked about how the schooling for blacks was very unfar. They wanted to integrate school's so that blacks can have equal chances of success, al though when school did become integrated the still found ways to hold them back. This relates with my topic because i wanted to talk about is there equal right in schools now for blacks or are they still getting the short end of the stick.

In one of the stories by Fred Taylor, he talked about how he want to a segregated school and a white teacher. she asted him to make a speech but she wanted it to be," non-confrontational, with non- movement language in it. Just a nice high school speech". He was unable do so. meaning he wrote the speech and went over it many of time with his teacher but he was unable to go out and give a speech that he didn't really belive in. this relates to mu topic because i feel this teach was trying to hold Fred back from saying how he really felt . Through my paper i'm talking about are black people getting held bach or not.
