My Research




The last two days we had been researching. Hear is some research I done. We have freedom of Religion, freedom of Assembly, to Keep and Bear Arms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and protection for those accused of crimes. http://bensguide.gpo.gov/3-5/citizenship/index.html The most important right citizens have is the right to vote. By voting, the people have a voice in the government. The people decide who will represent them in the government. Before. voting in an election, each citizen should be well informed about the issues and candidates.The government may call upon citizens to serve on a jury. The members of the jury need to decide the case in as fair a way as they can.Every person is expected to obey the laws of the community, state and country in which he or she lives. All Americans are expected to respect the rights of others. All persons living in the U.S. are expected to pay the income taxes and other taxes honestly and on time.Appear before a judge in court. The judge listens to the person’s reasons for wanting to become a U.S. citizen, and then decides if the person will be allowed to become a citizen. However, living in the United States doesn't automatically make one an American citizen. Citizens of the U.S. have the opportunity and the responsibility to participate in their government. This process of self-government insures that power will always remain where it belongs - with the people.

American History




I am writing on John F Kennedy. John F Kenndy was the youngest president to be elected. John F. Kennedy was born on 5-29-17 in Brookline, Massachusetts.


Birth: May 29, 1917
Death: November 22, 1963
Term of Office: January 20, 1961 - November 22, 1963
Number of Terms Elected: 1 term; Was assassinated while in office.


John F Kenndy was the thirty-fifth presindent. He had a family and thier names where Joseph and Rose Kennedy. He served in World War II and worked for a brief time as a reporter before becoming a Democratic Congressman from Boston in 1947. He married Jacqueline Bouvier, had three children, and wrote a Pulitzer Prize winning book called Profiles in Courage. John F Kennedy beat Richard Nixon to become the youngest U.S. president ever elected. On November 22, 1963 John F. Kennedy's life was tragically cut short by an assassin's bullet, while riding in a Presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas.John F. Kennedy NHS preserves the birthplace of America’s 35th president. In 1967, the president’s mother returned here, where Kennedy spent his boyhood, and restored the house to her recollection of its 1917 appearance. Each year, thousands of visitors join NPS staff to share Mrs. Kennedy’s memories in a tour of the house and neighborhood that, in her words, hold "many happy memories."On Sunday, November 22, the National Park Service opened the site for the day in remembrance of President Kennedy on the 46th anniversary of his 1963 assassination. The site was open from 10 am until 3 pm with no admission charged. In addition, National Park Service staff held a brief memorial ceremony outside the house at 12:00 noon that day. The site is now closed for the season and will reopen in the spring.

Animations and Sounds

In the past few weeks we have been adding sounds and animations. I didn't get time to add sounds but I am finished with adding animations. I need help in how to click on the play button and it will go to the first level. I also need to make the next level button work. I think that it will be a little bit easy to add sounds. I need people talking and a jeopardy playing when answering a question. I need a lot of work to do on flash because it is not easy.
