This is my response to assignment #8...but I will obviously link to this assignment on Miss.Pollock's blog which is right below that says "The Real Riel."
The Real Riel
Interviewer: Hello, today is a really special day for all of us. We are going to have the greatest guest in all....Mr.Louis Riel. Everybody give us a round of applause.
Mr.Riel: Thank you everybody, It's a honor to be here with you and answer the questions you would like me to answer, I am positive that I am going to have a great time today with all my audience and of course you "Miss.Meshal."
Interviewer: Well than, lets get started with all the great questions from the audience and of course me. The first question will be from one of the audience. Now lets see, who has a question that they would like to ask Mr. Riel? Oh, I think we see our first hand raised at the back stage. hello young lady, whats your name?
Kerrifa: Hello, my name is Kerrifa.
Interviewer: Oh, what a lovely name that i haven't heard before. Now what would you like to ask Mr.Riel?
Kerrifa: Thank you very much. My question for Mr.Riel would be....I heard on televisions and radios that you were called a traitor and hero, now for the first time they are saying that you are a founder of Manitoba, which is something the Metis people have demanded for years. What was your expression when you heard that?
Mr.Riel: Well, that is a very good question. When I heard that, I can't really explain my expression because theres no way to express it but, I am very happy now because the Metis people will walk around with their head up high, and I will not let anything ruin that for them.
Interviewer: That was a very good question and thoughtful answer. For our second question I will like to ask you, how did you establish champion of the Metis?
Mr.Riel: Well, It started on October 11, 1869. People were proclaiming that Canadian government had no right to act without permission. Sixteen Metis led by me stopped a crew of surveyors on my property. It was a really important incident because it was the first act of resistance to the transfer of the Settlement To Canada and because I established champion of the Metis.
Interviewer: Wow!!! That is a very good answer for my question. Now we will go to the third question, but we will like to take it from the audience. Anyone like to ask Mr.Riel a question? Yes, I see a hand at the back row. Hi whats your name?
Reda: My name is Reda.
Interviewer: Oh, what a lovely name, all of you have names that I've never heard of before. I will be back with you Reda, I just want to go around to some people and ask what their names are.
Reda: Okay.
Interviewer: Hello, Whats your name?
Samra: Hi, my name is Samra.
Interviewer: Another wonderful name. Now last person to go to is you in the red shirt.
Handi: Hello, My name is Handi.
Interviewer: Another one. Now we will go back to Reda. So, what was your question that you wanted to ask Mr.Riel?
Reda: My question for Mr.Riel today is, What ran through your mind as you stood on the scaffold, waiting for your trapped door to open to your death?
Mr.Riel: Wow!! I really never thought anybody would ask me that question, It's the first time ever someone asking me a question similar to that. It is a wonderful question. Well, I thought about the turmoil, the turmoil that surrounded me. The turmoil that surrounds the controversial Metis leader.
Interviewer: Those were all wonderful questions. I don't think we have time for one more question, so that's all for today. Thank you Mr.Riel for joining us here today and answering the questions we were wondering.
Mr.Riel: Your welcome, and thank you for having me with you. Have a good day everyone, hope to see you soon.
Interviewer: Good bye! Now this is the end of our show. Hope to see you guys next Saturday, good bye now!
Hope you enjoyed my assignment #8. Here are some links that I got my information from.

Assignment #8
Vow of Silence!!!
At the moment on February the 18Th at 1:40 to 2:30 which is one whole period, my class (E7A) are doing a practice of the Vow of Silence. It all started by Hanad the super duper kid!! We found them at the door of the lab, lined up and all silent, so my teacher Miss.Pollock decided to make a practice of the Vow of Silence so we can be used to it when it is March 5Th-6Th(You don't have to do it for the whole day but it would be nice to at least try it, plus its fun to experiment it and know what the people that can not speak feel like). Right now its actually easy because we are distracted by the computer but, when the day of Silence comes you won't be able to go on the computer or chat with any friends on MSN or face book or anything like that. On the day of Silence we are suppose to stay quiet for 24 hours (1 whole day) and we can't speak to any of our sisters/brothers/ parents (etc.). We can't even write a note to them,but we can make hand movements and/or face movements so they can understand us (its going to be hard!!). Right now i feel like I was just talking but i actually wasn't for 28 minutes so far. I am proud of my self and for my classmates and of course the lovely Miss.Pollock, because we are doing a great job. So, I just wanted you to know that doing the Vow of Silence is a great thing for those who can't speak. Hope you liked my post. Thank you.

Assignment #7
This is my response to assignment #7....
4.a) Which category of Canadian Personalities interested you the most? Did you like the "we inspired", "we founded", "we fought", "we built" or "we governed" section the best? Why?
I liked the section "we built" because it had Samuel de Champlain, and last year i had to do a project about him. I also liked "we built" the best because they put influential people that shaped Canada's landscape.
b.) Which personality interested you the most? Why?
Samuel de Champlain interested me the most because he ventured by canoe in the wilderness. As he was in the wilderness he met aboriginal people and he negotiated with them. With the aboriginals he was helping them in the war and as well he traded furs.
c.)In your post, suggest three more influential Canadian personalities that could be added to this site. Why did you choose these people? Which categories would they fit into?
The three people I think would be a great influential Canadian are Rosemary Brown, Richard Preston and Terry Fox. I choose these influential people because they all can be great influential people because they all did something in their life to save people. I think that Terry Fox would fit into the category "we fought". Rosemary Brown would fit in to the category "we governed". I think Richard Preston would fit into the category "we built".
7.d) Which History-Maker did you have the most in common with? Were you able to figure it out from the clues given? What do you share with that person? What are some things that are different between you and that person? The two people I have in common with are Harriet Tubman and Thomas Longboat . The person I had the most in common with is Harriet Tubman. Yes I was able to figure it out from the clues given . Some things I don’t have in common with Harriet Tubman are that she helped escape from slavery and I didn’t . She doesn’t have any record of her birth because she was a slave and I do have a record of my birth because I wasn’t a slave . We are both similar we both are girls, we both love to sing, and we are both not from Canada.
8.e) One hundred years from now, (in 2109!) imagine that students are learning about Canadian History Makers and they discover you. What will you be remembered for? How were you a Canadian History Maker? You are using your imagination, so think about some things that you would like to accomplish in your life and imagine that you have all the accomplishments of your life to look back on. Write a short profile of yourself, imagining the contributions you have made to the future of Canada. (Write this as though you've lived your whole life. You may have been a phenomenal athlete, the first black Prime Minister, cured cancer...use your imagination!) In a hundred years from now which is in 2109, Mariam Meshal was known as a famous artist, that made the best piece in 2108 (99 years from now!) Mariam never was famous, but when she started to draw, people would say "Why don't you be an artist?" She thought that she isn't good enough. After awhile she put her drawings on the Internet and became famous. Mariam was shocked, but she started drawing and she became the most best artist in the world. No one ever had seen such amazing, and emotional pieces of art. One of her best pieces was the last one she made because she was drawing it while she was dying. She made her last piece about every feeling she would get when she was drawing this piece. It was a sad, happy, suprised, shocked,(etc.) piece. Well thats pretty much everything about her.
