The period I think is most important is The Bill of Rights.

    The bill of Rights is very important because they protect our liberties and freedoms from the government. Without the Bill of Rights, the government can do whatever they want to us. The belief that all men are created equal is implemented to all American citizens. They protect states' rights from the National government to an extent as well. The Bill of Rights was added to the U.S. Constitution in December 15, 1791. The Bill of Rights consists of the basic 10 amendments, then the other amendments added down the years up to about 26 amendments. 

    The person I thought was most important was Martin Luther King Jr. He made a impact on the world because He was a leader in black rights lead to a law passed to stop discrimination. He also was very instrumental in organizing the boycott of the buses in Montgomery, Alabama, the sit-ins and protests in Birmingham, AL, the protests in Albany, GA, and the March on Washington in August 1963 - the "I have a dream" speech that opened the world's eyes to the discrimination of the black people and the fact that the Civil Rights Movement was not stopping until it obtained both respect and freedom. Go to your library and take out the book - The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. It is in the biography section and Clay borne Ca writes it.  

    Knowing your own history, or the history of your culture, is important because it helps us to know who we are while molding the future. Being familiar with what went on before gives us the ability to not only learn from past mistakes, but from the successes as well.

    If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.Knowing history with help you Live Today. this is a quote about history today. i think i relate to this quote because with out history i don't think i would understand most of the stuff that goes on today.


   knowing the importance of history is very import because it will help you move on in life  and knowing history can also help you get a better job like if you'd want to work in a museum and help other people learn the importance of knowing history.

How To Make A " Cootie Catcher"

How to make a “Cootie Catcher”

 

 

1.) Materials: Blank piece of paper, scissors, pen/pencil, and color pencils/markers

 

2.) Instructions: Take a blank piece of paper, fold the corners into make four triangles, flip over then do the same exacted thing. After that fold in half you put your fingers in the four little pockets. Pick four colors to write on the outside of the tabs. Open back up where you will see eight little triangles, write 1-8 on them. Open the little tabs and write goofy statements in each one. Color the four tabs on the outside the colors you picked. To play cootie catcher you must put four fingers in the tabs and a friend or family member picks a color. Lets say they picked PINK, so pink has four letters so this is how many times you moves the cootie catcher back and forth and side to side. On the inside of the Cootie catcher you will see four numbers, they pick a number and do it that many times. The last step is for the friend or family member to pick one more number and the one they pick, you open up and read the statement.

 

3.) Warning Hazards: Cutting yourself with scissors, paper cuts on body, extreme laughter and fun.

 

4.) This is a fun, goofy way to bond with family and friends, and stay away from the T.V, computer, game-boys, Nintendo, video games and much more all day.
