PEOPLE IN SOCIETIES
B-ANALYZE THE CONSEQUENCES OF OPPRESSION AND CONFLICT BETWEEN CULTURES
Monica Dent
· Benchmark; People in Societies (B) analyze the consequences of oppression, discrimination, and conflict between cultures.
· Our idea is to tell the story of the Holocaust and Elizer Wiesel. Explain the discrimination of the Jews, what happened (the conflict of the discrimination and results. The consequences of having the Holocaust and wars.).
· The Holocaust, Elizer Wiesel, Jews and other cultural groups, Hitler, and Nazis. Many Jews and other cultures were killed by Nazis ruled by Hitler. They were sent to concentration camps, put in gas chambers, and burned. Others died of exhaustion and disease. The Holocaust began in late 1938 and ended in 1945 during World War II. It takes place in Germany and other countries Nazis had control of. The people were starved, forced to work and were treated like animals. Hitler killed anyone and everyone who didn’t have blonde hair and blue eyes. Hitler ended up killing himself. This benchmark relates to the project because it explains the discrimination and conflict between cultures also the consequences.
_HOW IT WORKS
MY BOX LIGHTS UP A CANDLE,A RIVER, AND A NUMBER. THE LIGHT ABOVE THE CANDLE STAYS ON AT ALL TIME. THERE ARE TWO SENSORS IN THIS BOX. A MOVEMENT SENSOR AND A PUSH BUTTON. WHEN SOMEONE WALKS PAST THIS BOX THE MOVEMENT SENSOR DETECTS MOVEMENT AND THE RIVER LIGHTS UP. DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE RIVER MAKES THE NUMBER ABOVE IT LIGHT UP. AS BOTH THE RIVER AND NUMBER LIGHT UP IT FADES AS IT MOVES. THEN, YOU PUSH A BUTTON AND THE REST OF THE CANDLE LIGHTS UP.

s.s benchmark brainstorm-status:complete, champion:monica
comment-this step Danielle and I thought about what story we wanted the box to tell. we ended up using my idea[the holocaust and Elizer Weisel]. we also thought about what benchmark we wanted to analyze. the benchmark we used was people in society letter B. we both felt this benchmark would be something we could complete because we understood it very well.
Develop topic and project ideas-status:complete, champion:Monica
comment- in this step we both decided what we wanted our main idea to be. we thought about what the story was actually going to be. then we recorded our ideas and choose through the ones we really wanted to do.
Historical research and pre-write-status:complete, champion:monica
comment-Danielle and I research the Holocaust. we completed this who, what, where, why,and how worksheet. this gave us a better understanding of what our idea was. and we also developed the pre writing with an outline. this was kind of difficult because we wanted to talk about much more than we are but, we narrowed down our picks.
Conceptual solution[sketch 1] feasibility-status:complete, champion:Monica
comment-in this step here we had to get approval of our idea. then we had to go through series of drawing our design on different levels. this was difficult too because once we got our approval we had to change the way we wanted our box to operate.
preliminary design[draw 2] gap analysis-status:Complete, champion:Monica
comment-in this step we had more drawing to do. the gap analysis is when we had to explain how the box worked and everything that was put into the box. once we completed the gap analysis we had an even better understanding of what we wanted to do with this box. we also narrowed down how we actually wanted the box to work.
Start project portfolio-status:Complete, champion:Monica
Comment-in this step we had to record and upload all of the work we had to complete. here in task stream will be everything we have done with the box. this was pretty easy, no big deal.
Descriptive essay and poem pre writing-status:complete, champion:Monica
Comment-here we had to write a poem and describe what the images were in our box. then post then on task stream. we had to change our descriptions quit q bit because we kept changing our ideas. but we did get it done and we are sticking to the plan.
Build phase
box-status:in progress,champion:Monica
comment- we have the design with the leds and material in detail and in the layout we want. we also have the schematic design of our box on sketch up. we also created the drawing views. we still are constructing the box.
circuit-status:in progress, champion:
writing-status:Complete, champion:Monica
comment-we have completed the writing portion of the box design and received approval. also we posted this on task stream. this was easy to.

Descriptive essay
The story box
Since the beginning of time our world has been full of historical events. Our past affects our future. This is why we need to understand our past to know how to act in the future. History will always be with us to remember and not forget. Most people that lived in the early 1930’s and late 1940’s will not forget the discrimination and conflict that they felt. The time frame of the Holocaust was from 1933-1945. This story box tells the story of the Holocaust and a survivor named Elizer Wiesel. The German discriminated against the Jews and other groups of people. Many conflicts resulted and some had positive effects and some weren’t so great. This box has images that represent the groups of people and the tragedy that occurred.
The river represents the different places the Jews were taken to and the many people that died. The river represents movement because the Jews were moving different places and while they were moving some of them died. It represents the families that got torn apart and the river flows in different directions because the families went in different directions. Concentration camps were torture. A lot of people died from illnesses and starvation. The smells of these camps were horrible. They smelled of corpses and gas. An image of a candle is represented in this story box. The image represents the remembrances of the people who didn’t make it. When the Jews were sent to death camps they went to a crematorium. When people died the Germans or Nazi followers burned their body or gassed them. The word Holocaust came from this. Holocaust means completely burnt. The image of numbers represents Elizer Wiesel.
Everyone that was in the Holocaust received a number or some sort of identification number burned on them. Elizer Wiesel’s number was A-7713. Elizer Wiesel is from Romania in a little town called Sighet. He was sent to a concentration camp when he was only fifteen years old. He is one of the many survivors. The concentration camp he was located in was in Germany. Auschwitz, Buna, Buchenwald and Gleiwitz were all sub camps in Germany that he was sent to. His father was the only one that traveled with him the longest. Elizer Wiesel father died a year later of starvation, exhaustion, and dysentery. He is a very lucky man because of him surviving. A lot of people didn’t make it and he is living. He can tell the world about what happened. Elizer Wiesel has gone around place to place speaking to people about the Holocaust and his experiences. He also has done work with children that were ill and depressed. He published a book called Night in 1960 in English. This book is in Ophrah’s book club and won a Noble Prize in 1986. He wrote Night because he wanted to inform people in detail about his experience in the Holocaust and what really happened to other people in detail. Elizer Wiesel saw his own father die and saw other people die, he worked and he went days without eating. He was extremely depressed and insane. Many of the Jews wanted to be alive and should have been alive; others were killed, tortured, felt imprisonment and anguish, and also starvation. None of his other family members made it. A famous statement that is German is “Arbeit Macht Frei”, this means work brings freedom. This was the sign over the gates of the Auschwitz camp in Germany. It was placed there by Major Rudolf Hoss, commandant of the camp. This statement was put there for the Jews to think if they worked they will be set free.
The Holocaust is something no one will ever forget and when you think about the Holocaust you think about discrimination and the conflicts it brought to the world. When something like this happens it affects everyone. Something like this isn’t right and should never happen again.

Poem
Burn, burn, burn the discrimination burns.
Hate, hate, hate the Jews they hated!
War, war, war is what started,
Bomb, bomb, bomb the buildings go down.
Fear, fear, fear they hide in small places!
Look, look, look they search in high places!
Starve, starve, starve nothing but skin and bones.
Once you here the sirens you have to get low,
Families, families, and other families are torn apart.
Gloom, sadness, fear, death and horror is the Holocaust!
