6th Grade: Changes in Your World

It has been said that the only constant in the world is change.  During the first six weeks, we explored how each of you have changed or learned from your experiences.  This six weeks, we will explore how the world around us changes.  We will identify the challenges and choices that you each have made in meeting these changes.  Through fiction, nonfiction, print and nonprint texts (movie clips!!!), we will see how others have dealt with the choices and the opportunities that change can present.

My question to you is this...

What kinds of changes in your school, your community, your country, OR your world are taking place right now?  Explain the change and how it might effect people.



For example, right now our country is undergoing the process of presidential campaigning and elections.  Come November, our citizens will decide who it wants to lead our country.  Depending on who wins, our country could face many political and economical changes which could effect all citizens of this country.

  1. The school's food is changing by MRS.OBAMAS
    "eat less and be healthy program" but, we still need to eat more and bigger food servings to have more energy.Instead, of eat less food and be hungry all the time.We need alot more
    food or meat not just barely eat anything for the rest of the day and wait until dinner time to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And thats what is changing today.

  2. I think littering is very bad and is getting to people. People need to step up and let people know that littering is BAD!
    Some people don't understad that litter is DESTROYING our world it is causeing animals to die! When I went to Port aransas I picked up A LOT of trash! So what I am trying to say is that littering will make a huge change if we don't fix it. Our world does not need to be dirty!!

  3. I think the people that have no jobs is REALLY effecting our economy. But there are a lot of jobs open!!! Some people just don't have the education they need! I've noticed that more and more people are starting online college! That way, we can fill in the jobs that are open. :)

  16. I've noticed that a lot of people don't like the eat healthier foods program. They say there isn't enough food. But we have the snackbar and we can bring out lunches. Sometimes when they serve something you don't like, tell you're mom or dad and they might give you money from snackbar :)

  17. i think that we need more food. Mrs Obama is making people 'eat less and stay healthy' and I personally think that that's really bad. too much good is bad. Think about it this way, if there was a super hero that stopped all crime in a city, the police officers would be fired. Thats really bad. -katy h.

  24. One of the big changes is in the political world. Its mainly OBAMA. I honistly belive that people voted for him because of his (different) color. it was really racist for most people, and his changes for more, were not the best like HIGH TAXES, AND GAS PRICES, and his CARE SYSTEMS.<-(wrong plan.)to me, i wish the other guy would have won...he was way BETTER. And this year, they (government)shouldnt let OBAMA even on the voting plate. Just someone else would have been nice.
    And another change which was in our school, pretty much every school, was MRS. MICHELL OBAMAS school health food. WHEAT!!!as far as i'm conserend im (deadly allergic)to WHEAT.if its the only thing on the menu, fine. i reather not starve to death, fallowed by the fact i mostly dont eat breakfast...and smaller meal is NOT helping anything.:(

  25. I want Obama to win, but I really don't have anything against Romney. President Obama has helped find and kill Osama Bin laden, and he's helping people get jobs. I agree with a lot of stuff Obama does, so I'd want him to win. But I think we will b ok if Romney wins to, cause he's a good wold also be a good president.

  26. one change i see is that people are on the streets and have no homes because of the taxes and energy bills are getting higher by the year and there is really nothing we can do to stop it i would love to not see any homeless people ever but thats not really posible at this moment but the presidential election may help these poor people find warmth for the winter and other extreamly harsh times on our planet
