Title: Rome
Section: Country Living
In this section of this story, I read about the way of their country living. In their country living some of the ancient Rome made their living by them farming. Their houses was made of mud bricks and wood. The ancient families spent little bit of time in the homes instead of being out. The homes only had little furniture, and very few windows. The ancient most important crop was olives and grapes, and some of their people also had raised sheep and pigs. The rich people had lived in large villas and they owned their own farms. Sometimes the farms would be large cattle ranches. I learned that the ancient Rome people had lots back then and that they were very wealthy people. I liked the fact that they seem to not have very much problems with their food own settlement. I feel that the ancient people had an very unique life and they didn’t have to settle for anything.
1. According to the story, why did thousands of immigrants and their supporters demonstrate in cities across the U.S. yesterday? What argument is made in the report for tighter U.S. border controls? *People from other countries marched to protest against the laws against the illegal immigrants. *
2. Why do you think that immigration reform is such a controversial issue? *Because so many people want the freedom they can’t get in their own country here in the U.S, but others do not agree *
3. Do you think that these protests will sway lawmakers' views on immigration reform? Why or why not? *Not really, because they seem to be very much against this opinion and seem some what racist.*
4. According to the program: Why did President George W. Bush veto the war funding bill? How did Democratic leaders respond to the veto? *Because he feels like if it will be confusing for the troops and he wants to send troops back home.*
5. What are your thoughts regarding the president's veto of this bill? *I am a bit confused about what he said so I really don’t know, but if he’s trying to send troops back home, he should make sure all things in Iraq are back to normal.*
6. According to the segment: What does the U.S. government say is the purpose of the new U.S. citizenship test? What criticism does Andrew Stengel have about the redesigned test? *To show how many people really know about their country to be a citizen.*
7. Do you think that it is important for immigrants to take a test to become U.S. citizens? Why or why not? How do you think that you would fare on such a test? *In a way, because it helps those who do want to become of this country, learn a bit more about democracy, and what their rights are.*
8. What content do you think should be addressed on a U.S. citizenship test, and why? If you were designing the test, what types of questions might you ask? *I would add more political questions, and questions that have to do with a citizens rights, and amendments.*
9. According to the segment, why has the U.S. military established its own You Tube site? *To show that even though a lot of bad things are happening in Iraq, there is also a more positive side to all this kaos. *
10. Do you think that this new site will influence people's view of the U.S. military and the war in Iraq? If so, how? If not, why not? Maybe, because many people watch things on you tube and instead of watching troops doing bad things they’ll see that they are also trying to help them out.
11. 5 sentence reflection!! I liked the fact that everyone joined to fight for their rights. Because after all it shows that we are a country united. And that how it should have been always. I hope that everything works out for the immigrants and hopefully something gets worked out.
12. One thing you learned that you find interesting!
I learned that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of independence.
Thousands of demonstrators marched in cities across the country, pushing for the U.S. to make the path for illegal immigrants to get their citizenship. Close the borders and make sure that Americans don't have to foot the bill for the illegal immigration situation that we have here in America.
Immigration reform is such a controversial issue because it concerns millions of families.
I think that the immigrants that break the law will get what they deserve, but obey the law and stay in the country.
The bill would impose impossible conditions on our commanders in combat. Democratic leaders responded, saying the president has a responsibility to explain his plan for ending the war.
Im not trippin about it.
The redesigned test is better suited for "Jeopardy," than for fitness to serve as a citizen. They're asked, "when are your taxes due," but having nothing to do with, no question how to register to vote.
Im not sure.
Im not sure.
They hope it will offer a new perspective on the war in Iraq.
Im not sure.
The video was interesting. There are a lot of people taking part in this immigration thing. Thousands of people should make a statement. I thought that the You Tube videos were interesting. You can see what really goes on in Iraq.
I liked the whole video.
1. According to the story, why did thousands of immigrants and their supporters demonstrate in cities across the U.S. yesterday? What argument is made in the report for tighter U.S. border controls? They were pushing for changes in the immigration policies
2. Why do you think that immigration reform is such a controversial issue?
Because many people oppose it. And many people are for it.
3. Do you think that these protests will sway lawmakers' views on immigration reform? Why or why not? I think that it will because there has already been a lot of progress. And many people have been convinced
4. According to the program: Why did President George W. Bush veto the war funding bill? How did Democratic leaders respond to the veto? Because he thinks it is unfair since they would have take orders from someone who is many miles away.
5. What are your thoughts regarding the president's veto of this bill? I think he did do a right decision and I agree
6. According to the segment: What does the U.S. government say is the purpose of the new U.S. citizenship test? What criticism does Andrew Stengel have about the redesigned test? It focuses on ideas of democracy
7. Do you think that it is important for immigrants to take a test to become U.S. citizens? Why or why not? How do you think that you would fare on such a test? I think that there should be a test but I don’t think it should be that hard
8. What content do you think should be addressed on a U.S. citizenship test, and why? If you were designing the test, what types of questions might you ask?
I think that there should be questions about how to vote and things like that
9. According to the segment, why has the U.S. military established its own YouTube site? So that people can see things that do not appear in the news
10. Do you think that this new site will influence people's view of the U.S. military and the war in Iraq? If so, how? If not, why not? I think it will because I saw many good things in it
11. 5 sentence reflection!! The immigration reform has become a huge issue. Immigration in my family was also a big problem. So I like the progress that people have made. I also liked that bush vetoed the war funding bill
12. One thing you learned that you find interesting! I learned many things in this video. The most interesting thing was how the military established its own YouTube.
1.They were protesting because they wanted to live in peace and wanted to become American citizens.
2.I think it is a controversial issue because there is a lot of people in America that are not American citizens, and they all want to be treated equally.
3.I do not think these protests will sway the lawmakers view because if it did they would have done something about the immigrants a long time ago.
4.President George W. Bush vetoed the bill because he felt it would be nothing but chaos and confusion for the troops. The democratic leaders think president Bush has a responsibility to explain his plan for the ending of the war.
5.I think it is a bad decision for president Bush to make because he has to end the war sooner or later, he can’t keep the troops over there forever.
6.The purpose of the new test is to see how much people know about the “American Ways”. Andrew Stengel thinks the test is no good because it asks questions that have nothing to do with registering to vote.
7.I do not think the test is any good because most American citizens don’t even know some of the questions. I think I would fail the test.
8.If I were to design the test I would ask easy questions like about presidents.
9.The reason for the military making it’s own “you tube” is to show us that the war is not all about killing and violence, sometimes the troops help the people.
10.I do not think this will change anybody’s view because those are just good things that are happening, but I’m sure there is still a lot of bad things going on over there.

What argument is made in the report for tighter U.S. border controls? * thousands of demonstrators marched in cities across the country, pushing for the U.S. to make the path for illegal immigrants to get their citizenship. * 2.

Do you think that these protests will sway lawmakers' views on immigration reform? Why or why not? * What I think is that there not because these was done last year and no changes were made for them.

Bush veto the war funding bill? How did Democratic leaders respond to the veto? * * 5. What are your thoughts regarding the president's veto of this bill? * I think that is bad choice for the president because he can keep the troops to be away for a long time.* 6.

The governments purpose to make the immigrants have harder questions to become a citizen.* * 7. Do you think that it is important for immigrants to take a test to become U.S. citizens? Why or why not? How do you think that you would fare on such a test? Because they should know the history of united states they should know everything that deals with the government.* and the rights that people should have and not have.* 8. What content do you think should be addressed on a U.S. citizenship test, and why? If you were designing the test, what types of questions might you ask? Well I would just put questioned about the past all the wars,president,countries,what we do in the united states to become someone important or to have something that would take years to take. Many of the people that don’t have papers just come to the u.s. to work but not to actually expand their education such as going into school to learn something from the country.* * 9. According to the segment, why has the U.S. military established its own You Tube site? * so that it could show us how war is and that is not made to do damages for no reason there are so many purpose in why people go t o war.* 10. Do you think that this new site will influence people's view of the U.S. military and the war in Iraq? If so, how? If not, why not? Yes, because it takes about how it goes and how people from our country died to protect us.
11. One thing you learned that you find interesting! One thing that I did found interesting was that people still tried there hardest to make something about the people that don’t have papers, when they know that this theme was already been going on for the last couple of years and still no changes had been made.
Thousands of demonstrators an immigrants rallied for the U.S to make a path for illegal immigrants to get their citizenship. That they aren’t supposed to be in there.
I think that immigration reform is such a controversial issue because there are people that dislike Mexicans and don’t want them in “their” country. Also because there are so many Mexicans crossing illegally and people that own those places don’t want them in their territory.
I think that it might because they are trying their best to be a part of this country and in my point of view the residents should let them be here legally and they should be proud that so many people want to be a part of them and that is the only thing that they are showing when they do these rallies.
The President vetoed the bill because it would “ impose impossible conditions for the commanding troops. The democratic leaders said that the president has a responsibility to explain his plan for ending this war.
My thought about this president over all is well I don’t like him. I think that he makes choices not that help his country but I think that he makes his choices because he doesn't care about our people. I think that if it wasn’t for him a lot of our soldiers would be alive.
The purpose of this test is for immigrants to become U.S citizen and to see how much they know and what they would score. Andrew guy said that it was more like a jeopardy game to him.
I think that it is somewhat important because that way they can proof everyone that they really want to be a part of this country and they are not here to ruin them or to do something illegal they are here to work and make money.
I would ask questions about the history of the U.S and about what they would plan to do when they got to be citizen. What their goal are
I think that they made their own you tube because they want to let us know that there is a purpose for doing the war.
I think that this site will help people see that the war isn't doing anything good and that a lot of innocent people are dying because the president is very greedy and he only thinks about himself.
I found most interesting that people feel so strong about getting united and fighting for what they want.
