If I could go back in history I would like to meet George Washington. I would want to meet him because he was intelligent and a good leader. I also liked the Revolutionary War topic so I would like to see what it was like. I have also wanted to see Valley Forge. Matt G. 1-2A

If I could go back in time, I would meet Rosa Parks. I would meet her because I admire how she stood up for herself. This is the reason because she might be able to give people advice. Also, I would want to meet her because she is a good role model, so she might inspire you/ me to become a better role model as well. Lastly, I would want to meet her because she's a hero, she changed this world for the better!

if I could travel back to a time when a famous person was living, I would go meet Christopher Columbus on his journey. I have always wondered what he's like, all his different brilliant thoughts. He was a great captain because he was persistent and extremely smart. Christopher is definitely one of my idols, I wish I could meet him and converse about his journeys. Nick D 1-2 A
ReplyDeleteIf I could travel back in time to any period, I would like to travel back to the Trojan War. I would like to travel back to the Trojan War because I know that not all of the story is accurate, and I would like to see how the event played out. I wouldn't want to meet anyone because during the wars if I am asking soldiers questions the assumption that I am a spy is very likely, so I would rather watch the event play out in a safe place. Matthew M, Period 8-10B.
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back to any time period I would go back to the fiftys because it always looked fun. The fashion, parties, food, and stuff they did back then. The people always seemed happy. I just always thought it looked like a cool time period. It doesn't seem like there was many big wars involving the US either. I would also like to meet some of the singers that were from that time period that people still consider famous today. - Morgan N. Period 8/9-10 A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time and meet someone I would go back to meet Martin Luther King Jr. I would go back and see him because he stopped a huge problem in the world, not be judged my your skin color and because I think he is inspiring. -Michele M 8/9-10A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time, I would go see the play that Abraham Lincoln went to, I would want to meet and save him because he is my favorite president.-Paul R p8-10 A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time and visit where ever I would like to visit I would pick to go to the constitution The reason I would like to visit when the constitution happened because I would like to see how the whole constitution began and how it happen and also I would like to visit at that time because George Washington is a beast.- Antonio S p8-10A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time for a week in a historical time period I would want to go the Golden age of Rome. I want to see how great their engineering marvels were for there time in, and out of all thing I would LOVE to see a game in the colosseum. I would also like to see as many historical figures as I possibly could for that time. Ethan D. P 8-10 A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back to any era for a week it would be to go to the Ancient Greek times because they were so clean and Greece was very peaceful in most cities just not Sparta, but Athens was a place full of art and literature. Back then Athens was pretty much like us just not with our kind of technology.
ReplyDeleteJared M. P 2-3 B
DeleteIf I could go back in time to any specific week, it would be to back when New Jersey became a state. I would like to know why they choose to put New Jersey against the Atlantic? Or why they made New Jersey really small? When they decide to help make New Jersey a state, I would help change New Jersey, to make it larger. For example take a chunk out of New York, it is a big state any way. Gavin D. P 10/11 B
ReplyDeleteIf I were to go back in time to any day and age, I would want to go back to the 1950's. I would want to go back to the 1950's because that was when really good musicians became extremely popular. I would want to listen to Elvis Prestly sing Jailhouse Rock on stage. I could also see how the prices were back then. The coffee was only 5 cents at a coffee shop! I would experience many things that I could not experience now.
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time for a week in a historical time period I would want to go to the Sparta times because I'm curious how their army was and how all their architecture looked like. I probably wouldn't ask a lot of questions or they wouldn't trust me. Lastly it would be cool to know how they actually designed everything to make it look amazing today.
ReplyDeleteMatthew L. P 10-11 B
If I could go back in time and meet one person It would be George Washington, during the revolutionary war. This is because he was so important to the american revolution that he was even appointed to be the leader of the revolution. For example one reason he was so important is at the time he was the general of their army. Another reason he was so important is he encouraged his army to keep fighting, even when it seemed that they were losing the battles. One final reason is because he gave the people hope that the revolution would be successful. Ultimately, If I could go back in time I would want to meet George Washington during the American Revolution.

If I could go back in time I would go to when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. I would go there because dinosaurs are really cool and I could get dna so I could create Jurassic park for real. I would also get a pet t-rex.
ReplyDeleteJack B p. 10/11
I would not recommend going back to dinosaur ages. I say this because they are known to kill almost all live prey, except the dinosaurs that are carnivores. Even if you did end up getting dna of a t rex and recreate it it probably would not turn out well in the end.
DeleteJack, I disagree with your idea. I disagree because if you went back in time to when the dinosaurs ruled the earth you would be killed. So, even if you did get DNA you would not return alive.

DeleteIf I could spend a week in a historical time period, I would chose a time a couple years before America was discovered by pilgrims, when it was still mostly inhabited by the American Indians. I have always wanted to go back to this time period particularly because I feel like it would be extremely fun to learn about the outdoors and participate in the ceremonies and hunting that they did. Also, the air would be much cleaner and there would be no factories or buildings to hide the beauty of America. I think that I would be particularly awed by everything that I would see and do there. There would be many things that I could do that would be pretty much impossible now.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia T. Period 10/11 B
If I could go back in time, I would go back to the Revolutionary War. I want to see what it was like when George Washington and revolutionaries won the right to live in America without having to pay taxes to England. I would also like to see what it was like when the constitution was signed, and how the states were divided and created. Last, I want to see what it was like in colonial times. Did they have running water? What time did they go to school? How did they make sure that they didn’t oversleep? I think that going to this time period would be exciting.

DeleteIf I were to go back in time for a week I would go to the year 1346 so that I could warn the people about the black death. I would help them clean up the city, get rid of all the rats, and stop the plague from happening. If I did this I would be a hero. I would save so many lives, instead of having the plague destroy everyone. Also I would help them with their government. I would tell them that in the future there's is a perfect form of religion and government.

If I could go back in time I would want to go to when Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. If I got to meet Christopher Columbus and explore with him then I could be one of the founders of the U.S and that would be pretty cool. Imagine having a holiday named after you because you were the one who found this amazing piece of land. Also if I went back in time to meet Christopher I would be able to see how hard it was to live back then. I would learn survival skills that people do not teach today. If I traveled back to Christopher Columbus' time then I could be one of the people that found America and I could learn skills I would never learn today.

If I could travel back in time I would travel back to 1864. I would travel to 1864 because that's when the Civil War took place. I think that it would be interesting to see how divide our country was. Also I could compare it to the present and see how different it is, for example now America is a United Nation. This is why if I could travel back anywhere, anytime, at any event I would travel back to 1864.
ReplyDeleteRoss Benigno period 1-2 A
If I could travel back into time to any time period I would want to go to Ancient Egypt because their ancient lifestyle is much different than ours today. Also, I think it would be really fun to experience how the ancient Egyptians lived and learning more about their cultures. I would also be really interested to see all of the pyramids being built.

DeleteIf I could travel back in time I would want to travel back to the year of the 1970s since during that time the poor and rich didn't get along so I would wan to go back there so I could see how hard it must have been for the poor or see what it was like to be rich during that time period.

If I could go back in time it would be in the 1940s because world war two would be going on. I would want to see him from a distance to see how bad of a person he was. Also I would want to see how the americans handled him and how we killed him because I know it wasn't easy because he was one of the most powerful dictators in history.

If I could go back in time it would be in 1929. The reason is because of the great depression. I would want to see how bad it was and how people survived. I would want to know more about the major problems people faced.

If I could go back in time, I would go to the Old State House on July 18, 1776 in Boston Massachusetts. This was the year that The Decoration of Independence was read off of the balcony of the Old State House for the first time. The reason I would go there is because Boston fought very hard for their country's Independence. To see the peoples reactions would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteStella S period 1-2 A
I would go back to 2001 on September 11 and I would ask the men and women who saved or tried to save many's lives. I would ask them if risking their lives is worth saving others. Personally if I were there I would have risked my life trying to save other people without those men and women we could have lost even more members of our country to that tragic day.
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time and spend a week with any historical figure it would be Martin Luther King Junior. I think that Dr. King was a very good leader and is a great role model so I would spend the week trying to become more like him. He led a peaceful campaign and mad a voice for the mistreated people of color and I hope that maybe I can achieve something that major in my life.

If I could go back in time, to meet any historical figure, and spend time with them for a week, it would be Walt Disney. I picked him because he was the creator of Mickey Mouse, and others, and also Disney World. It would be cool to see what it was like back then, and and how Disney World came to be. (Also I might be able to help him on the rides).

If I were to go back in time, I would go back to the time when women weren't appreciated like they are today,I would go back to the time where the feudal system existing.

ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time and spend one week with a historical person I would chose to spend a week with John F Kennedy I would chose to be with him because I learned about him in 5th grade and 6th grade and I am really interested in his contributions that he made to history also I really want to see if the comparisons between JFK's assassination and Abraham Lincolns assassination are really that identical.

If I could go back in time I would want to meet Rosa Parks. I would want to meet her because she was brave,courageous, and lionhearted. Rosa Parks stood up for what she believed in, she didn't want racism, so she took action and stood her ground. Rosa Parks refused to obey bus driver's order to give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled. I would want to meet her because she ready to face and endure danger. Her belief was strong enough to make her say no. That is why I would want to meet Rosa Parks.

If I had to go back in time I would go to Roanoke. The reason I would go to Roanoke is so I can find out what really did happen to the missing colonists.

That is why I want to go back in time to Roanoke.

If I could go back into any time in history I would go 1954- 1968 in this time African American had no rights. I want to go back to there because we learn about it but we really don't know what it was like and how hard it was for them. Also because there where some people that just others tell what to do because they did not want anything to happen to them or their family. you also had the people who just wanted the same and wanted right and did not want anyone to tell them that they could not go somewhere because of they were not like others.
ReplyDeleteGianna A period 8-10 B
If I could go back in time to any time Id probably want to go back to when African Americans had no rights. I think that this would be really cool because I've always been interested in that time period,even though it was a terrible and unfair time. I would like to know more about how unfair it was for them and how horribly people treated them . I also think if I went back to this time it would teach me a lot about what it was actually like.Also if I went back to this time, and if I saw an African american being treated unfairly I would try to stand up for them .
ReplyDeleteMadison c 1-2 b
I agree with Madison and it was a really terrible and unfair time and I wish I could have done something about it. And by going back in time to that time period I could stand up for them.

ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time to any time period I would go back in time to the 1950's because I feel like it would be cool to see what was happening when time was becoming more and more modern and see how some of the people that were around in that time are still alive now and see like a flashback from present time to then and really get to see how much the world changes in so little time.

If I could go back to any period of time, I would go to the peak of Roman Civilization. There are not any people in particular that I would like to meet, but I would like to go there anyway because they were so advanced for their time. For example, they definitely were amazing at math, looking at their advanced buildings and designs and they were well educated, compared to the Dark Ages. -Ava P, 8/10 A
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in time I would go to the renaissance. I would want to go to the renaissance because it when we were getting out of the dark ages. In this time there was an “explosion of creation”. There were many famous pieces of art and artist from the Renaissance, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and many more. Some examples of artwork from the renaissance are , The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, The last Judgment and more. I would like to go back to and see all the artwork and meet some of the artist.

I world choose September 10, 2001, I would pick that date because I would warn the airport so I could stop 911. This would be so important to America and the world because that terrorist attack would have never happened which would save so many inisant peoples lives. It also would have saved the firefighters and police men lives. That would also mean we would have caught the Talibans then and killed or torchered them.

If I was going to go back in time for a week I would go back to the time of Anne Frank. I would go back to her time so I could learn what she was going through. I know most of her story from reading her book but I would really like to know what it would be like for her if she could talk to someone, and then how would he feel.

If I had the chance to go back in time fro a week I would probably go back to the time where technology was first being invented because I would like to know what it was like to go to school and live wothout any technology at all.

If I could go back in time I would also go to the day 9/11 occurred. I would want to help warn all women and men or try to make them late to work so they could not go to the building if they refused to listen. 9/11 killed so many people and proabably wouldn't have killed as many if more people had been aware as to what was starting to happen.

If I could go back in time I would go back to when Columbus found the "new world" because I want to see what it was like to be on a long voyage and then find land. I would want to met Columbus because I want to see if he only had a bad side and I would want to find out why Columbus was so mean to the Indians when they did not mean any harm. Ava M P1-2 A
ReplyDeleteIf I got to go back in time to a historical time period it would be when slavery began in Virginia on 1619. I would pick this because, it was not fair to them and just because they are a different race does not mean that they can't do things that a white people can do. They are humans just like us and I just think that it would not be fair for them. Luke W period 2-3 B
