ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the most about the class this marking period was the cocktail party. Because its fun, we get to talk to our classmates about a specific topic and also we get many ideas from them about that.
Basically I enjoyed everything.
Yes, my English is improving very much.
I don’t think there was any topic that you didn't cover.
This class is perfect. :)
Everyone has to share their thoughts and anything they do outside of the class like the community services, if they share those experience then the other people who doesn't know something could know it.
I went to the high school fair so far and there I got 6 hours. I learned more about our school while explaining to others. And also we got to practice our English more.
“From class this marking period, one thing I will take is knowledge and one thing I will give is respect ."
That's great Masuma. You are taking and giving wonderful things!!
Delete1.I enjoyed the time with my friends. In the class, we can discuss many problems we have. I also enjoyed the time we were doing projects. Those projects taught us how to think in the point of view from people in Africa.
ReplyDelete2.I didn’t enjoy some topic. Topics like world hunger are too heavy stuff. It’s hard to change the situation. Every time I think of it, I feel very sad.
3.yes. I feel I became more thankful about what I got. And I think I should take some responsibilities and try to change the situation.
4.no, it covers everything that I’m interested in.
5.we could talk about more about issues in Asia. Because, Asia is the home of many students in our class. The topic must interest us.
6.we can do some acting. Because we can better understand the situations and have fun at the same time.
7.i have done like 12 hours in total. I did community service with my friends. I learn more about my community and the world around us.
8. From class this marking period, one thing I will take is the knowledge and one thing I will give is my passion to make the world a better place.
It's true that hunger and poverty are heavy topics. But actually, by working with Concern, you are doing something great to help improve the world! So keep at it and you'll see!

ReplyDelete1.This class is very interesting class. We do a lot of different things. Every activity,project and workshop is very enjoyable. The most I enjoy was writing letter to my buddy, because I good share things about myself. Also working with Concern is very interesting.
2.I enjoyed everything. We have a lot of fun in this class. The best class in Newcomers High School.
3.I think yes, now I know more things about human rights, which I can share with people.
4.I want to know more about human right in different countries around the world.
5.We should have more trips, which are related to human rights.
6.We should work more as a team and share our ideas about the class. Also our experience from our countries about human rights.
7.I am doing community services in many different events and places. I compleated 26 hours. I learned how to work in group, how behavior in many different situations, how to help people and also how to become different person depends on situation and people who I helped.
8.From class this marking period, one thing I will take is that we should get more involved in human rights projects and one thing I will give is to don’t waste food.
Magda you are a community service star!!
DeleteAnd I love taking trips but your teachers don't love it when we have too many. We have November 7 and then Dec 5. There might be another one in November. I"ll keep you posted!!
1-I enjoyed doing class activities like clap games, i enjoyed working with Concern Worldwide because it got educate by learning facts of what is happening in developing countries. I enjoyed reading letters to my buddy and answer them back. I enjoyed writing an autobiography poem for my buddy.
ReplyDelete2-To be honest i enjoyed every single thing we did in class. I like to try new thing.
3-Yes, i have changed because when we having a group project i try my best to express myself but sometimes i have the ideas and its hard to express or share it with my classmates.
4-Like immigration because we are all immigration i think i mean our welcome stories. I think we should try to do it because when we all came to the U.S. we had internal and external conflicts.
5-I want you to be a part of the class when Sylvia and Amanda are present in the class. I want you to help us like they do.
6-I would advise them to participate more and do give their homework in time and complete. And also even that the teacher is absent they should still do their work because it is going to count toward your grade.
7-I did community service for Light the Night By the Leukemia Lymphoma society. I also did community service at the Race for the Kids. I have learn that it’s great to give back to the country. I watch people in the race for the kids running and i felt happy about it because people lives depend on you running or walking. I never knew such greats things to do like that instead of staying home and surf the web, sleep.
8-"From class this marking period, one thing I will take is Knowledge and one thing I will give is Devotion, Attention, Time."
Sarah I'll be happy to join your activities when Sylvia and Amanda come!!
DeleteYou've done wonderful community service. That is terrific.
Great advice about doing work even when the teacher is out. Thanks.
I enjoyed working with “Concern” organization and Ms.Sylvia because I can learn more about the global issues that I didn’t aware of them before.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoyed all the activities that we worked in the class, especially, with ‘’Concern.”
I think I am the same as before because I participated more when I knew about the things.
No, the class just the way is excellent.
I don’t have the exact global issue that I want to learn. So, I will always try my best to learn all the things.
We have to do the community service hours by the end of each marking period and more participation in class.
I have done the ‘’Light the Night Walk” volunteering. Now, I am doing volunteering at Kindergarten and Çampaign for Grace Meng. So far, I have done over 20 hours of community service.
I learned many skills such as managements, setting up things and so on. I also gained more patience from teaching the elementary students.
"From class this marking period, one thing I will take is real issues around the world and one thing I will give is more involved in those issues."
That is wonderful. And I'm so glad that helping younger children is teaching you about patience. Fantastic!
Delete1. I enjoyed what we learned in this class, because these are about social issues, and I am willing to help people who needed, also, I am interesting in solve the global issues with partners, friends, such as, the project we did for hunger day, I think it is helpful for more people know about issues about hunger.
ReplyDelete2. I didn’t enjoy doing blog, because the informations we learned are too general, and we just put our comments to our blog, there is no exact actions to help solve the issues.
3. Yes, I have changed my view after participating in this class, the world of poor areas are quite different from where we lived, they are more wretched than I imagined.
4. Yes, we did not have any activities that involved any exact actions from us yet. I would like to go out with partners, friends to help more people.
5. Create more projects and activities for us to learn more about global issues.
6. Regarding the global issues seriously, put our effort on our works.
7. I am doing community service in bridge to life, I have done 13.5 hours so far, I learned how to work as a group and I practice my personal skills a lot.
8. "From class this marking period, one thing I will take is concern of global issues and one thing I will give is my effort ."
Wen Hui I love it that you really want to make a change in the world. The blog is a place to get information, not really for action taking. But our work with Concern will be all about taking action and there will be other opportunities.
DeleteAlso, all the community service you are doing is taking action!!
Oh, I just realized that we can all volunteer together at the St Luke's Christmas Fair on Saturday Dec 3! It's a lot of fun!
DeleteDuring that first marking period i enjoyed the way i was discovering many facts about the world that actually make me more concern. I also enjoyed writing letters to my buddy named Stella and actually can’t wait to met her. We also did some mini debate about the global facts, we agreed and disagreed on some of them.
ReplyDeleteThere’s not a really specific thing that i did not enjoyed, everything was pretty good and knowledgeable.
Yes i have change by the fact that i’m more concerned about the different things that are going on around me and that pushes to be more devoted to do something that will be in somewhat helpful to my community.
I have no specific project in mind for now, we did group projects, we talked about pretty big issues which i liked.
For my concern i think the class is just fine, the assignments that you gave were pretty much enjoyable, but most of all as you being my teacher i would like to see you more involved in the class, like not sitting in the back of the class and just listen or watch to us interacting.
One advice i can give my classmate is that they should do all their work and try participate as much as they can.
I do community service at the library next to my house, and i also went to the walk for Leukemia at Forest Park. So far I have about 16-18 hours. What i learned was that in a community we should not only think about gaining but also giving back.
Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is _Knowledge______________ and one thing I will give is _my devotion._______________."
Sophia I will be happy to join you in your work with Concern. Great.
DeleteAnd I love it that doing community service is helping you see the value of giving back to the community. That is sooo... important!
1. I enjoyed getting to know the new students in the class and to have a new buddy for the semester. I also enjoyed the work that Sylvia Wang is doing with us, teaching about issues in Africa and what we can do to help those countries in need.
ReplyDelete2. I think there is nothing I didn’t really enjoyed this marking period in this class
3. I feel like a have learned a lot about the reality of human rights and about effective ways to minimize them through the workshops with Sylvia. I think that makes me more prepared for making a difference in the world.
4. I think if there is one topic that we could have covered is discrimination, because that is a very relevant topic currently
5. Even though the class is good as it is, I think the class could be better if you participated more in class, working with Sylvia and Amanda or working on a project with us.
6. Take the class more seriously and do the necessary community service hours.
7. I tried to vary my community service involvement instead of working on the same place I was working before, but that didn’t quite worked out. I ended up doing only 2 hours of community service this marking period.
8.From class this marking period, one thing I will take is all the knowledge I gained and one thing I will give is my participation and commitment to the class.
Renan, I'll be happy to join you as you work with Sylvia and Amanda. Great.
DeleteAlso, your intentions were good in finding different places and ways to do community service. It will all work out in the end.
You just have a lot of interests!!
LIN,XIAOYUE
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed discussing about human rights with our classmate, and sent letter with my partner who is not in our school. This is very interesting to change our ideas and thoughts to each other, because its a best way to share our thinking and compare our opinions. The activities are very nice to help us to understand human rights , we played some games to know about American's life and environments. The projects in our class are very created, because we just have short time and we have to think about it as quickly as we can. About our workshop, we can discuss our opinions and how can we do for those poor and weak people to have a better life, I like it because I like to think about and ideas to help the poor people.
I did not enjoy reading the facts, because I felt it is so boring to read it and understand it. Because I think we can understand it by ourselves. And I do not like to read too many words in a class, I like to do some activities.
Yes, I think I have changed in this class in participation, because I knew how African lived and their environments are very bad. So, I had changed to participation to discuss those questions as possible as I can.
I think we can have some real activities to go outside and to connect with their groups to help more people.
We can have more video to make sure the environment about African’s life and get more news to adapt their lifestyle, then we can thinking about the method to help them.
Reading more information about hunger and HIV, so we can give their more help immediately.
7. I am doing community service in kindergarten, I have done 20 hours so far. I learned how to care about children, and how to teach them about hard problems as patiently as I can.
8.Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is my hesitate and shy and one thing I will give is my love and help."
You are doing wonderful work as community service. And the facts are important because they help us connect with and understand the issues more. We will see more videos during the year.

No, everything was fine.
What can I do to make the class better for you (aside from no homework J )? Please be specific.
i feel good with everything in the class so i don't think we should add something else.
What advice can you give to your classmates to make their experience in this class more meaningful?
i think everybody could share own experiences when we do community services and everybody participate.
Where are you doing community service? How many hours have you done so far? What have you learned or gained from volunteering?
i did community services in Manhattan, the event called Rice for the kids, i did 6 hours, i learned that every child need a model by their lives.
Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is known more about humans rights and one thing I will give is participate in all the events we do."
I hope that you are feeling more and more comfortable to participate in our class.
DeleteYour community service is excellent!
1. This is one of the most enjoyable classes that I ever had. I like this class and working with the people and helping them. I enjoyed every project and activity and workshop what I did at this class.
ReplyDelete2. I have no complaints about any project or workshop that I did.
3. I feel that I have changed a lot, especially when i was doing my community service I saw and talk to the people and I observed them, and I open a lot of new stuff for my self just seeing those people, what did they do.
4. I would like to learn about the human rights more, their role in the world.
5. We should visit some places related to the human rights .
6. We have to work more together and maybe make some groups where we can discuss about our experience and give advices to others, but every time have different people in the group.
7. I did 14 hours of community service, I really like to do it. I was doing Light the Night Walk, I went to the NY Digital Citizenship Day, and I did a High School Fair. I learned how to be more confident person.
8. From class this marking period, one thing I will take is knowledge of the human rights, and one thing I will give is my truly response and my advice.
Oleg I'm so happy you are enjoying class so much! I love having you. You are rocking the community service!!
DeleteI really enjoy getting to know my buddy. As a matter of fact I just got a new friend and I just noticed that we have a lot of things in common. Writing letters and introducing ourselves. Working with Concerns Worldwide group is so exciting. I am looking forward to working with them. (Sylvia and Amanda)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I can’t mention anything that I did not enjoy, as a fact, I could not find anything that I didn’t enjoy. I am so grateful for being in this class, working with Ms. Mann and other groups to work and learn together.
Frankly, as a person, I am totally changed. I am stunned after seeing that my attitude as a person is changed. I get the opportunities to do volunteer work for my community.
A lot of things that I had in mind were done in this class. However, I would like to have a group work someday, like a group project that needs teamwork.
Honestly, you really did a good job in running the class. I am surprised. But, I could give an advice that might be good if we can do some play or any group project.
I would like to give an advice about doing volunteers. I would emphasize how important it is to do the community service for others and how the experience can change our life.
I am doing community Service in and out the school. Light the night walk, SLT meeting, PA Meeting, High school fairs, etc. I have done 25 hours so far.
Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is the experience that I get from doing community services and one thing I will give is my devotion to the class and contribute my talents."
I love having you! And it's great advice that we do acting. There will be time for that next week!! Beautiful getting and giving statement.
DeleteI would love to sing in a group or play guitar to fight for the human rights!
DeleteWhat I enjoyed about this class these few days was being able to learn more global issues than any other classes. I had a chance to get involved in “Concern Worldwide” and “SAGE.” One of the best things was having only one homework which was to complete minimum 10 community service hours for this marking period.
ReplyDeleteI had a little bit of problem which was to be able to meet deadline for community service hours. I had to juggle all school work and community service during weekends because community service events are mostly on Saturdays and Sundays.
Yes, absolutely. I become more social as I get involved in more social activities.
I really want to do “First Person American” project after I have seen my friends from last year Human Rights Class did it.
Nothing. This class is going well.
I want to suggest them to get more involved in community service events and have fun.
I did one day event such as Light the Night and Race for the Kids. I have done total 12 hours. I am trying to add up more by involving in Big Brothers Big Sisters NYC program. I have learned to enjoy helping others and have fun cooperating with friends for good causes.
"From class this marking period, one thing I will take is more experiences from community services and one thing I will give is my little effort of helping others.
Tin I'm glad you managed all your hours - I know it's hard but it's important. I hope we have funding to do First Person American again. That would be great.
DeleteI enjoyed the most about class this marking period is cocktail party, because its great, we had time to share our opinions with each other. Also I liked making poster for the world hunger concern.
ReplyDeleteBasicly i enjoyed everything.
Yes, I changed my speaking skills more and communicating skills by doing volunteering works. Get to know more about human rights.
We covered everything
Nothing special
Respect everyone and share opinions.
I did volunteering in high school fair and i got only 6 hours. I learned communicate people and group works.
Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is _knowledge______________ and one thing I will give is _respect_______________."
I'm glad you are enjoying everything. Wonderful to get knowledge and give respect!

Wanted to sing songs related to raising human right awareness
More fun activities like trips, group works etc.
Just go with the flow and have fun because at the end of the day we all are trying to make the best of our lives.
Yes, so far i have done 12 hours. I have learned that giving back to your community feels great and you become a different person.
From class this marking period, one thing I will take is the wonderful experience and one thing I will give is effort.
Songs would be fantastic! Can you lead that? Also, I'm so glad you are gaining from your volunteering. That's what it's all about!!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making an auto bio poem and also write a letter for my buddy from Saint Luc. I enjoyed working with Sylvia and learned a lot of things.
I enjoyed everything
Yes, I started thinking more critically about some concerns worldwide and changes that we can make together as a community.
I wanted to go to a trip.
We can watch videos or movies concerning world wide issues and also do more group works.

I have done community services in the High School Fair at Brooklyn Tech and Francis Lewis high School and also in the Light The Night Walk at Forest park. I have a total of 24 hours of community service.
From class this marking period, one thing I will take is the teamwork we did and one thing I will give is effort.
Wonderful. Critical thinking about the world is so important!

ReplyDeleteThis class is very interesting, so I enjoyed many activities such as exchanging letters with my St Luke’s budd, and the making of poem painting. Working with Sylvia in the making of posters about the world’s problems.
I enjoyed every single activity because I learned a lot from them.
Yes, I have changed due to my participation because I enriched my knowledge little by little. I learned about hunger issues, health issues, and education issues in our world.
I would like to know more about how the actions of rich countries influenced living conditions in the poorest ones. How others’ intervention are beneficial and harmful at certain aspects?
The class is pretty swell the way it is right now maybe we may watch more informative videos in order to improve our knowledge on human rights.
They should be more involved, and also do their own personal research in order to learn more about the world problems. They should achieve their community service hours and make their blogs.
I am doing community services at the YMCA, and I have 25 hours so far. I have learned how to socialize and how to fix lights.
Fill in the blanks..."From class this marking period, one thing I will take is ___________working as a team____ and one thing I will give is _____strong effort.___
More videos are in our future!! Wow you have a ton of community service hours already. Great!!
Delete1.I enjoy when we have to give our opinion about the theme and said if we agree or disagree with the statement. Also I enjoy to write a letter to Cypress and when she send me back her letter.

3.yes. Now i can know how important is help people of our community. Also I learned how to work as a team.
4.yes. I saw in the tv that a girl of 14 years old was attack because she wanted to fight for the education of women and they become equal in her country. I want to know more about women rights

6. Finish the blogs activities at time and be on time everyday so you can enjoy it with a good grade.
7. I did community service in Forest Park. In there I did 6 hours and I learn who people collaborate with other who had the same problem than them.
8.From class this marking period, one thing I will take is more experience of each other and one thing I will give is my respect and participation."
Why don't you like blogging?
DeleteSo happy that you are doing all your community service hours and enjoying it!
I enjoyed to have like 3 teachers, that was cool, and also that we were talking about something really important "human rights"
ReplyDeleteThere is not anything that I didn't enjoy, i really liked this class.
I think I'm the same because I have always tried to participate in the class and i still do the same.
We have time yet, so until now, we have covered everything correctly.
We could get some time to play and also to talk to our friends about the theme of that day.
To participate and also to listen when the teacher is talking.
I am a tutor in the school, it is a very good experience to teach my own classmates.
"From class this marking period, one thing I will take is to share my ideas about human rights at home and also to my friends and one thing I will give advice to people I see with bad behavior."
Tutoring is very important work. And I'm glad you are enjoying everything!

Delete1.We had done a lot of thing in this class this marking period. I really enjoy having the Global Concern classroom coming into our class every Monday and teaching us about all these global issues and how to take action. I specially enjoy the fact that we get to do lots of different activities every week.
ReplyDelete2.I don’t really have a specific thing that I disliked from the class this marking period.
3.Yes I do feel I have changed in a way as a result of my participation in the class. Ever since we talk about hunger and how millions of people are dying around the world everyday, I started being considered on not to waste food.
4.I think you pretty much did cover everything. We did a bit more than what we have done last year.
5.We could maybe do one community service as a class all together.
6.This class is all about participating in your community and give respect to everyone around. Don’t create hate. Stop bullying and be aware of what is going on not only around you but all over the world.
7.I am kinda doing community service all over the place. I have done Light the Night for Leukemia, Big Brothers Big Sisters Race For The Kids, parents association meeting, Peapod Academy and much more in the future. I love doing community service because it is fun I get to experience things and meet new people.
8.One thing I will take from this class is to be grateful on things we take for granted in our lives and one thing I will give is respect to everyone.
Hi Kanto,
DeleteHow wonderful that you are taking the Concern lessons into your life and actions. That is great.

2 I enjoyed the work in groups. I enjoyed the work on blog, we can get information from the blog.
3 Yes, I have changed. Because I start to think the problems. I start to think how to help the people. What can we do for them.
4 I think we can make a handbill or poster to our classmates who is not in our class to realize the problems in our world. We can create a activity to collect clothes and books that we don't any more to help people.
5 We can help people with real action to related our class. Such us collect clothes or books.
6 We have to do community service, it's a way to help people.
7 I am doing community Service in kindergarten, I have done 20 hours so far. I learn how to teach children, and they have to think how to solve problems by themselves.
8 From class this marking period, one thing I will take is knowledge and responsibility and one thing I will give is respect and help.
Mengyu you are doing great work and I love your idea to make posters and teach others in the school! We will do that!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this class during the whole marking period because we treated about all the issues that people is passing by. I enjoyed the community service experience first ever.
Well, i do not actually have any concern about this class rather i really enjoyed it.
Yes, i do. It's been very interesting knowing about what is happenning to our rights, the human rights. I would like to fight in order to defend the human rights.
I think we should have had a deeper campaign against bullying.
Just keep being as you have done so far. I like your attitude.
I am doing community service at school helping students from global history to prepare in order to pass their regents. I have done 8 hours so far. I have learned the importance of being a volunteer in my community.
From class this marking period, one thing I will take is knowledge and one thing I will give is support.
Thanks Michell! Great to have you! We will be focusing on bullying the day our buddies come and many other times. It's a big issue!
DeleteWhat did you enjoy about class this marking period? Why? Please refer to specific activities, projects, workshops, etc.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the activities that we done in Every Monday because our class has a teacher who works in Concern Worldwidely and she taught us a lot of things. She let me know about what happen in the world and let me understand what the world looks like. She always made the topic more interested and easily for us to absorb the knowledge . I believe “more early touch the society, more mature you are”. Thus, I like take Monday classes. It’s not boring for me.
What didn't you enjoy and why? Please be specific.
I didn’t enjoy the class because I feel so lonely. I don’t know why. It just comes from my self-feelings.
Do you feel you have changed in any way as a result of your participation in this class? If yes, how?
I think what I changed in the class is my knowledge is more profound . However, I never change my personality. It is so hard for me to correct my shy expressions.
Were there any activities/projects/topics that I didn't cover that you want us to cover?Which ones?
I think what you teach us is all good for me.
What can I do to make the class better for you (aside from no homework J )? Please be specific.
I think you can take part in our activities.
What advice can you give to your classmates to make their experience in this class more meaningful?
Where are you doing community service? How many hours have you done so far? What have you learned or gained from volunteering?
I did my community service in the kindergarten and church. I have done about 16 in totals. I learned a lot from the volunteering such as I can keep in touch with different kinds of people and my english skills improve a lot.
