Sweatshops Made In L.A Part 1
1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
- The sweatshops workers in L.A are the same as the sweatshop workers in Indonesia because they both work up to 12 hours a day and their treated like their nobody. Their different because in Indoneisa you get payed 1.25 a day and in L.A you get paid 3.25 on sundays. They both get paid different amounts. Their also different because in L.A they make clothing for Forever 21 and in Indoneisa they make shoes for Nike.
2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at Mcdonalds?
- they end up working in sweatshops because they don't have papers to work for other things.
3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie
- I think that by the end of the movie they will continue and try to fit but they don't succed.

The New Kids in School
This year is sure to be a(n) large year at P.S.188. There are several new kids at the school and they are working hard to make new friends. They just moved here from Cartoonville!
In the first grade, Minnie Mouse is the newest addition to the group. She is learning about sitting at a(n) fan and about ELA. In fourth grade, Mickey Mouse is studying children.
Both kids are trying hard to fit in. Since Minnie Mouse is a cartoon character, she can bend her foot unlike any other kid. This makes her really popular playing marko polo hide and go seek in the dark on the playground because she can get out of the way of the other kids very quickly. Mickey Mouse is also trying to fit in. He had many friends in his cartoon, but they do not live here. He's become popular because all the other kids are asking him what it is like to be a cartoon character, and what Pluto and Kagome are really like. Both cartoon kids are sure to make this a special year!

All the large day.

Don't you hear Micheal Jorden shouting
“Rossette, hunt your horn? ”
Rossette, won't you hunt,
Rossette, won't you hunt,
Rossette, won't you hunt your horn?
Rossette, won't you hunt,
Rossette, won't you hunt,

Someone's in the bedroom with Rossette.
Someone's in the bedroom, I know.
Someone's in the bedroom with Rossette
Strumming on the old drum.
