This BTN is about Australia day and why people celebrate it.

Australia day used to be called ‘foundation day,’ it had re-enactments of when the first fleet arrived in Australia. I also found out that in 1988, 15 thousand Aboriginal  people staged a protest about freedom,  justice and hope. The day celebrates the arrival of the first fleet 200 years ago.

Why do some people want to change the date that Australia day is held?

Does the parade that showcases all the culture that makes up Australia showcase the Aboriginal culture in Australia?

After watching this BTN, I understood that many Aboriginal people are upset about Australia day and use it to grieve over the loss of loved ones and have re-enactments of what it was like when the English first came.

 

BTN ~ Magna Carta

Black ~ SUMMARY

<+=+>

This BTN is about how the Magna Carta came to be and how it affected the government.

During his reign, King John raised the taxes for his barons 11 times when they had a war. I also found out that after King John signed the Magna Carta, he broke most of the promises he made and thus a civil war broke out. Lastly, I found out that the Magna Carta inspired Thomas Jefferson (The 3rd president of the USA) to right the American Declaration of Independence. 

I wonder why King John broke so many promises that he made?

I also wonder why he had such a bad personality?

After watching the video, I understood that without the magna carta, government would be very different.

I made a connection to “Hamilton: An American Musical” due to Thomas Jefferson saying:

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We fought for these ideals; we shouldn’t settle for less. These are wise words, enterprising men quote ’em. Don’t act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote ’em”

From the song “Cabinet Battle #1.”

this BTN was about the history of video games and what people thought about them.

why would people be excited about pong?

why did space invaders inspire other games?
