Yesterday (5/1/13) we continued to work on our Oregon Trail
projects, we also finished the movie. Today in class (5/2/13) we started a new
unit on Imperialism in the United States. Imperialism is the takeover of one country
from another country socially, economically, and politically. We also read a
poem called "The White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling. This poem
showed they thought Imperialism was a responsibility that the white man needs
to deal with. I also read “The Poor Man’s Burden” and compared its words with “The
White Man’s Burden” and then created a poem with my partner.
Our Poem:
Our Poem:
Take up the human's burden
Something we carry the day we are born
Some with peace and love
Some with hatred un torn
The human deciding
Is better than all
Choosing what's best for those under
Picking them up before they can fall
Take up the human's burden
An indescribable love for war
Fighting for those who don't want it
Reaching for love and adore
Not understanding the difference
Between content and control
Desiring admiration
Something to soothe their soul
