In this section we reflect on the Student Activism Unit by explaining:
* What have I learned in this unit? * Who has inspired me? * What causes do I care most about? * How do I plan to help? / What action can I take today? * What are my hopes for the future? / What kind of world do I want to live in? |
" In this unit I have learned there are a lot of steps in a project. The person that inspired me is Greta TungBerg because she takes climate change very seriously. I now care a lot about climate change. I plane on helping reduces climate change by recycling more. I hope in the future people recycle more. I want to live in a world where the planet we live in is clean. " |

" I learned about Greta Thunberg and climate change. Greta Thunberg inspired me to help with climate change. I care about helping the climate. I’m going to help with the climate change and the ocean I’m going to take out the garbage form the ocean to have a clean place. I will take action by helping by cleaning the ocean and helping with climate change. I hope in the future we will have a clean healthy world. My plan for cleaning the ocean is to gather people, get a boat and a net to catch the garbage. Just like 4ocean (organization) they are cleaning up the garbage in the ocean and I want to help and be like them. " |
" Hi my name is Kaylee and i learned from this unit to change the environment and making these city's clean also to add on i learned that some foods our bad for us and some foods our healthy for us. I am inspired by Greta Thunberg because she is a teenager that takes responsibility also that takes action. She is a good person because she protest in small groups and dosen't travel in cars or bus she travels in a sailboat so that it dosen't causes pollution. One cause that i care alot is to not waste food because you could give food to gardens or animals but reminder just be careful on what you give them or they. An action i can and would take is to start recycling food for donations or i could compost. I wanna live in a world and city were its clean and were our presidents that take more action and also responsibility for our future before it too late. "

" In this unit I have learned to change and make the city clean. Also, I learned that some foods are bad, but then some of the rest of the foods are good and healthy for us. Greta has inspired me because she is a teenager that has made it her responsibility to change the climate for the better. That takes a lot of action. She is a good person because she doesn't travel just to make her life easier. She is dedicated to decrease her carbon footprint so she only travel on sail boat, not planes. One cause is that I care a lot about is the environment and climate change. It is important for us to help by not wasting food because you can give food to the garden of the plants and find other uses for them. Another action is that I can take it to start recycling food by composting at my home. I wanna live the world that is a better place that could clean the city and also take the action for our future before its too much late. Such as (Responsibility)+(pollution)+(environment) And also+(recycling). So what I learned is that you should never waste a lot of food and give the rest of the food to the garden and give all the food to all the plants and this will help the planet. "

" Hi my name is Michelle and I learned that some police are racist because they think they have the right to do what ever they want. However, Malala has inspired me because back then girls didn't have the right to go to school just because they were girls. And I really want to help by saying that "My color doesn't determine my worth." For instance, in the future I really want people, police's ,and the whole world would stop being racist just cause of their race because I remember last spring when George Floyd was killed that their was a lot of protest because the police didn't have the right to kill him and they wanted justice. And it also mad everyone care. Then recently the man who killed George Floyd was recently found guilty and it made me think that all the protesting really helped - And I will also want to live in a world that is relaxing and everyone is safe!

" De todas las personas de las que aprendimos en esta unidad, las personas que protestan por la vida de los afroamericanos, Malala Yousafazai la activista y Greta Thunberg, mi mayor inspiración es Malala porque se preocupa más por la educación de las niñas. Ella me inspira y ahora quiero ayudar a la personas y que todos tengan trabajo y comida. Yo quiero ayudar a la personas que no tienen empleo y que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos y los dueños de los empleos puedan y aceptar dar trabajo a personas que no tienen trabajo en el mundo. Tal vez algunas personas no tengan trabajo porque no hablan inglés. Ahora estoy aprender inglés pero sé mucho más que cuando vine aquí. También puedo ayudar a enseñar a algunas personas que no saben cómo usar una computadora para buscar trabajo, pero yo sé cómo hacerlo para poder ayudarlas a usar la computadora. Tal ves pueda decirle a mi madre que puedo hablar con sus amigas y con cualquier persona que necesite ayuda, luego puedo hacer todo lo posible para ayudarlos. Mis esperanzas para el futuro son crecer y estudiar el tipo de mundo en el que quiero vivir donde vivo ahora. "

" Hi my name is Britney and the thing I learned from this unit is that the police think that they can do whatever they want just because their polices. However, Cesar Chavez inspired me because he helped lots of people. The thing that causes me to care a lot is pollution and I want to help to stop pollution because its a big problem. The ways I plan to help is by gathering people and making signs to stop pollution. I hope for the future for no more pollution and no racism. The world I want to live on is a peaceful world and a healthy one. " |
" Hi my name is Angy and what I learned in this unit is that what we learn about student activism and Malala Yousafzai because what she did is to let girl to school because they didn't let girl go to school and in Greta Thunberg she was help the climate because she know that something was wrong and in Xiuhtezacatl Martinez he was help the environmental because he know that something is wrong and made a song but he know that people were only hear the song but not word because the people didn't care about the word, who has inspired me is BLM because the police are kill black people which it was part of the rule in NYC, Brooklyn. What I care a lot is BLM because they kill black people and what I want to help is to stop racism and police brutality. What I plan to help is put some sign outside my window and another things, and what action will I take is make sign will BLM. And I will talk to anyone who asks about it. What I hopes for the future is to stop the police from hurting black people and to treat everyone with respect. This is what I want for NYC, Brooklyn because is the best city! "

" Hi, my name is Ashley and in this unit I learned how students my age can make a huge impact in the world, Greta Thunberg inspired me to help the environment. Now that I learned that us as people are killing the environment. I now recycle more and try to make an impact in the world. I plan to help by recycling, going to thrift stores, and taking less transportations that include using gas if it's possible. I hope that in the future everyone can come together and make and even bigger impact in the world. "

'' I learned that if more people are saving the world they are also saving us. To be honest the one that inspired me is Greta Thunberg. For example she know's that boat ,a car, train and a bus hurt's our planet so instead she travel's with a sail boat . The know's world has damaged so much since there are a lot of more car's now so i think that we can use less car's now and then. I plant to help the world by recycling and eating less animal's products and spread the word. My hopes for the future is for everyone to be peaceful and respectful. "
