Caesar

Gius Julius Caesar Ruler of the Mediterranean

By: Gabriele

Alow me to tell you about the Extraordinary Gius Julius Caesar. Caesar was an extraordinary man. He was born into a wealthy Patrician family and at the age of seventeen he was high in the politics of Rome. He went on over twenty campaigns in his life. When he was assassinated, he ruled over 2.3 million square miles and had territory in Asia, Africa, and Europe!

Caesar was born on July 12, 100 BC and was 55 years old when he was assassinated. Caesars father was named Gius Julius Caesar and his mother was named Aurelia. When he was 17, Caesar married the lovely Cornelia. They had two daughters named Caesarion and Julia Caesaris. They also adopted a boy; the boy's name was Agustus. Agustus later became the emperor of all the Roman territory. Fun Fact: did you know that Caesars real name was Gius Julius Caesar II and

Caesar enlisted in the roman army and rose up the ranks and led a campaign into the Balkans. Then Caesar then wanted to invade Gaul, (France and part of Germany). He amassed an army and invaded Gaul, during this period he won over twenty-five battles and was only defeated twice! Ceasar invaded England/Britannia twice and concerned southern Britannia/England. Caesars' famous words were Veni,Vidi,Vici. which translates in English, I came, I saw, I concerned.

Caesars' victories in Gaul were starting to make another console in Rome jealous, Pompey. Pompey told the conservatives to disband Caesars army, then they ordered Caesar to disband his army. Caesar replied by marching 5,000 soldiers across the Rubicon, a river that separated Caesars providences from Italy. He defeated Pompey's army at the battle of Pharsalus, a victory for Caesar. Pompey fled to the Balkans, Caesar followed and defeated Pompey once again. Pompey fled to Egypt and was killed by the Egyptians, then the Egyptians then showed Pompey's head to Caesar. He then attacked the Egyptians and gave the throne of Egypt to Cleopatra, the king of Egypt's sister. He then returned to Rome in triumph.

Caesar was killed by Brutus Gius Cassius, Marcus Junus and several other roman aristocrats on March,15 44 BC the “Ides of March”. According to Shakespeare Caesars last words were “Et Ut, Brute?”. Caesar was buried at the temple of Divius Julius, Rome.

In conclusion, Caesar was a clever politician, a brilliant general, a smart tactician and ruler of all the Mediterranean! I learned a lot about Caesars' life and other people affected by his life. Sources:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

By Frankie 

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the longest serving president of the United States. He was a governor of New York. A senator of New York. And a. Key role model in the United States history. 

 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born January 30th, 1882, in Hyde Park New York. His mother was Sara Ann Roosevelt his father who died in 1900 was James Roosevelt 1. His mother and father were 6th cousins. Franklin had a half-brother named James rosy Roosevelt. When he was young, he learned to sail. When he was 16 is father gave him a sailboat. 

Except for attending public school in Germany at the age of nine he was mostly home schooled. Until he turned 14, he then attended Harvard and got an ab in history then he went to. Groton boarding school in Massachusetts. But then in 1900 Roosevelts father died. In 1905 franklin married Eleanor his fifth cousin once removed. 

Senator of New York 

Roosevelt held little passion for the practice of law and confided to friends that he planned to eventually enter politics. Despite his admiration for his cousin Theodore. Franklin inherited his father's reputation with the Democratic Party. But Theodore was a major role model. Assistant secretary of the navy in 1913 Roosevelt became assistant secretary of the navy in 1917. He was very helpful at motivating the navy sailors. And he was it for. Quiet a long time. Until the end of world war I.  

In 1920 he had a campaign for vice president he lost. In 1921 he caught polio and it paralyzed his legs for the rest of his life. In 1929 he was elected governor of New York. 

First term 

In 1933 he was elected the 32nd president of the United States. In 1933 he stopped the distribution of gold coins to the public, and all were melted down into gold bars. Except for a few that were saved. And that helped the U.S through the great depression. In 1933 he created the new deal program. 

Second term 

 In 1936 he set the new deal program into its second phase. And made a bunch of speeches. But kept a close eye on the advancements and moves other countries were making. But kept a caution about Germany. But in 1939 Germany invaded Poland. 

Third term 

In his third term everyone was surprised with a third campaign for election. When he won, he set the record for longest serving president. The beginning of hi 3rd term was quiet settle but in December 1941 japan attacked Hawaii and not even a week later he declared war on japan and Germany. And that sent the greater majority of the Japanese American Heritage. Into internment camps. 

Fourth term 

After the Yalta conference was quite unstable and he had had declining health since at least 1940. They ran some blood tests, and he was found to have high blood pressure and his heart was failing.  And there was no cure. 

 Death and remembrance 

On, April 12, 1945, in warm springs Georgia he said, “I have a terrific headache”. And not long after he died. He did lots of great things in his life. Today he is remembered by many memorials, and you should see his face every day on the dime.  

And that concludes my FDR bistro presentation. In my opinion He was one of the greatest U.S presidents he has over 100 written works about him and. Is known for being the longest serving president of the United States. He is on the dime.

ABE LINCOLN

By Keanen G. 

Abe Lincoln is an inspiration to Americans everywhere and one of his biggest accomplishments is that he freed the slaves. Back in his time, that made many of the white people mad. There was even a civil war over it. I think he did the right thing. Let's get into what really took place. He was enshrined in the wrestling hall of fame. 

           First, I am going to talk about his assassination. I know it is the end of his story, but it is going to be the beginning of mine. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on Aprill 15, 1865 at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. Next let's talk about his birth. He was born in Sinking Spring Farm, Kentucky on February 12, 1809. Hours before he was assassinated, he created the secret service. Also, did you know that grave diggers tried to get his corpse? He was 56 when he died. 

           Now let's talk about his presidency. Did you know that he was a Republican? He was the 16th, president. Before he was president, he was a lawyer and went in front of the Supreme court. He served his whole first term but sadly only 42 days (about 1 and a half months) into his second term he was killed. John Wilkes booths brother saved Abes son from a train incident in New Jersey. 

             Now let's talk about the Civil war. It started on April 12, 1861, and it ended on May 9, 1865. The north won but at a very high cost. 6 hundred to 7 hundred thousand people died which is really sad. Abe was the President for almost the whole war. Just after he died the war ended. He saw it end in Heaven. 

 Lastly, did you know he was estimated to be worth over one million dollars in current money. He was 6 feet 4, minus the hat of course. For the height he was only 180 pounds and that is surprising to me because I am 5 foot 3 and I weigh 120 just saying that makes me feel fat, but I bet Abe did not have the flap of steel.  

In conclusion, Abe Lincoln was an incredibly fun person to research, and I would really recommend him to you. Is it just me, or does everyone like his top hat? This is what I learned about Abe Lincoln; I hope you liked my presentation.

Martin Luther King Jr.

By: Cooper L.

Martin Luther King Jr was an inspiration to many people. Though, a lot of people don’t know some of his most interesting facts, just some parts. For example, I bet you didn’t know that the “I have a dream” part of Martin Luther king Jr’s speech wasn’t written in his speech, it was added on the spot! If you want to learn more amazing facts about Martin Luther King Jr, then I recommend you read this report. I hope you enjoy it! 

First, I’m going to tell you about Martin’s childhood. I was born on January 15, 1929, in the city known as Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up, I went to church a lot because my father (Martin Luther King Senior) was a preacher at Ebenezer Baptist Church. This had a great impact on my life and inspired me at an early age to speak up against Jim Crow’s unfair laws and to make a difference in the world. I was highly successful in school, so successful, in fact I skipped two grades in High school and was 15 when I entered Morehouse College.  I was top of my class. 

Second, I’m going to tell you how Martin became the great speaker that he is today. After I graduated from Morehouse College, I became a preacher just like my father. Everybody said I was a great speaker. That got me thinking, with this voice I could help protest nonviolently against Jim Crows laws of the state that were racist and unfair. One of my inspirations was Mahatma Gandhi. He used peaceful methods to help free India from the British. I wanted to use his same methods to free African Americans from segregation. I went on to marry my lovely wife, Coreta Scott. I have two sons and two daughters, Yolanda King, Bernice King, Martin Luther King III, and Dexter King. 

Next, I’m going to tell you about one of his greatest accomplishments, Bus Boycott. During segregation, black and white people were separated from restaurants, and even buses. This got my attention. When Rosa Parks soon refused to give up her seat for a white person and was arrested, many African Americans, including me, were angry. It did not make any sense.  3 quarters of the people on the bus were black. This had gone on for too long, we had to take a stand. So, I planned a peaceful protest.  All African Americans in the town of Montgomery, Alabama would refuse to ride the bus until they gave us equal rights. This would work because the bus would lose their funds and would have to give us equal rights to get their money back and not go broke. 

After more than a year, the Supreme Court made bus segregation unconstitutional. Success! There was much more to finish though. 

Now, I’m going to tell you about one of Martin’s most famous speeches that had a big impact on America. It was August 28, 1963, in Washington D.C. There are over 250,000 people waiting for my speech and other ones too. It was called the “March on Washington.” We did this march because we wanted to show how many people supported the Civil Rights Bill. I made sure that the march was nonviolent. 

The night before the speech I started second guessing my speech. What if it was not good enough? It took all night, but I finally finished my speech. Once I was called up to the podium, I started second guessing my speech again, there is something missing. I started speaking, but then someone inspired mean gave me the part of the speech that was missing. “Tell them about the dream King!” That was the answer, The Dream! 

“When we allow freedom to ring, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last, Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we’re free at last!” I have a dream today!” 

 The I have a dream speech lead to me winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, in Oslo, Norway and was the youngest person ever to win it. It was an honor and I’ll never forget this moment. There was still so much racism though that needed to change. 

 Finally, I’m going to tell you about Martin’s sad death. On April 4, 1968, I visited Memphis, Tennesse only to find out that I would not make it. I was standing on the balcony of my hotel room. There was a gunshot and then I fell. I don’t remember much after that. I was sadly shot by a man named James Earl Ray. 

Little did I know I made history having a holiday on Monday third in January. It is called Martin Luther King Jr. Day 

In conclusion, I had a great time learning about Martin Luther King Jr. He was a very important person in our history. He fought for what he believed in even when threatened. His dream isn’t perfect but is getting better. Martin’s dream inspired me to do him for my report because I want to spread his dream to other people. Thank you for reading!

Grace O' Malley

Queen of the Sea

By: Delaney

Grace O' Malley is an Irish queen with not as much recognition as she deserves. She has done many great things and was a hero of the sea. A few of her greater achievements include, using navy fleets to protect Irish wealth, fighting for the Irish and their independence, and making friends with Queen Elizabeth I. Overall, she is a historical icon who fought for what she believed in. So, let me tell you a little bit more.

Where it all began was in her town of Connacht Ireland. She was with her father getting ready to sail with him and he told her that if they met pirates, she had to go below deck. May I remind you she was a woman of her own opinion. When they did meet pirates Grace jumped on to their ship and when she was finished they were able to drive them off.

In that moment she knew that she wanted to sail. A few years later she had her children. Her sons, Tibbot and Owen and her daughter Margret. She also married two Clan leaders (Risdeárd and Dónal) as well as getting some support from her parents (Margret and Eoghan). She also got her most popular nicknames, Granuaile and Gráinne Mhaol.

In some of her many careers including, piracy, being a regional politician, and being a queen, she faced many obstacles. These obstacles are what pushed her to be the best and show her full potential. The obstacles that she faced were, sexism, challenge, and proving to people she could fo a man's work, and that she was not just a dainty woman.

During her career of piracy (which lasted 40 years) she had a good-sized fleet. These ships she inherited from her father. Historians say that she had at least 20 of the most powerful ships in Ireland. With these ships she was loved as well feared by her crew members. Grace is a powerful icon which throughout the rewriting of the history books was lost. She only appeared in the English history books because of her relationship with Queen Elizabeth the I.

In the end Grace O' Malley did come to an end in 1603. She was a strong leader who came from the O' Malley clan. She married powerful local clan leaders and used negotiate whenever possible. She lived a long life and was happy to have done her part in Irish history.

"Hello! After ransacking this ship my crew has a little more respect for me! Being the first women pirate I need to show them I am just as tough as them. As well as being in the piracy industry I am also involved in regional politics. Being a women in Ireland you are expected to wear dresses and just go along with what you are told."

Gliding Through Fame

By Solveig

One of my fondest memories happened before most kids are old enough to remember anything. In fact, at the time, I wasn't even old enough to walk yet, just to ski. I remember getting strapped into my carrier and going for a ride on my mom's back. My parents are the kind of people that don't mind a one-year-old pulling their hair and screaming "FASTER" constantly into an open ear. Little did I know that this first ride would be the start of something huge...

Before I became a famous skier, almost 20 years before I was born, Bill Koch took home the silver medal in the 1976 Winter Olympics, that medal was the first and only in U.S. Olympic cross-country skiing history. It would be the only one for a very long time. I was born in 1991 on August 26 in St. Paul, Minn. Clearly, I wasn't born a winter kid. My family soon moved to Afton, Minn., which is where I grew up. I grew up as your average little kid. I liked pickles, razzberries and playing outside—nothing unusual.

As a kid I participated in dance, soccer, swimming, track, and violin before choosing to pursue skiing most of all. And I'm very glad I did so, because that decision led me to meet many great people and do many great things. One of the people who I met is now my teammate, Kikkan Randall. Kikkan, a five-time Winter Olympian, helped me take home the gold medal this year in the team sprint freestyle! I had the pleasure of working with her for her last Olympics, which was just this year. She was an amazing partner and I'm sure I would never have thrived as much as I did without her.

My first Olympic appearance was in the 2014 Sochi Olympics at the age of 22. My second and most recent appearance was in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics where I competed in 6 events: The 10 km free, 7.5 km skiathlon, classic sprints, freestyle team sprint, 30 km mass start classic, and the 4x5 km relay. My main glory was in the freestyle team sprint, with Kikkan Randall. We won the gold medal—the first U.S. Olympic XC medal since 1976! Olympic skiing has opened many doors for me and helped me become interested in other things that I never would have known about otherwise.

I am currently an advocate for climate change awareness, along with other Olympic skiers from Team USA. We have found out that many of the 21 Olympic cities are too warm to ever host another games, and we need to stop global warming well we are barely ahead. We need to save winter. I am supporting the Carbon Fee and Dividend Solution, a system that charges people who put carbon into the air and returns revenue to households. I don't simply want to save winter for my sport—sure skiing plays a big part in this—but think of all those kids who will grow up without snow, never knowing what it would be like to have a white Christmas. So, I'm asking you to simply help support this system, but don't do it for me, do it for the kids.

"Hi, everyone! It's so nice to see all the faces of my many fans and supporters after today's race. At the start of the day I never thought I'd end it a medalist, let alone a gold medalist! Growing up in small town Afton, Minnesota I hope I have proven that it doesn't matter where you come from, you can still accomplish your dreams. Thank you all for listening to this interview and to my teammate, Kikkan Randall, for getting me this far. Any questions?"

Mae Jemison

The Story of Jemison

By Camille

Mae C. Jemison is an icon. Did you know she is fluent in four different languages? She can speak Russian, Swahili, Japanese, and of course, English. The funny thing is, she is not even a linguist, she's an astronaut! In fact, she was the very first African-American women to go into space! Mae Jemison is amazing!

It all began is Decatur, Alabama. Mae was born on October 17th, 1956, to Charley and Dorothy Jemison. She had two siblings named Ada and Charles Jemison. When she was young, she said she was going to go to space one day. But before she could do that, she had to go to school.

Jemison went to Morgan Park High School in Chicago, Illinois. Then she went to Stanford University. Her Parents supported her talents a lot. After that, she went to University Medical College. When she went to space, she studied weightlessness and motion sickness on her and the crew. There are many other details about space, though.

First of all, On June 4, 1987, Jemison was admitted into the training program. She flew on September 12, 1992. She went on Endeavor with six other astronauts. She was in space for 190 hours, (8 days). They returned September 20, 1992. Jemison Obtained her M. D. in 1981. When Jemison was a medical doctor, she worked on the Peace Corps for 2 ½ years. She left NASA in March 1993. After NASA, Jemison taught at Dartmouth. She also made the Jemison Group, to seek research.

Mae C. Jemison inspired me by making me feel like I can achieve anything. She said she was going to space one day, and that is exactly what she did. I feel she inspired people to believe in themselves. Mae C. Jemson is an amazing person.

St. Patrick

The Slave Boy

By: Quinn

Have you ever heard of St. Patrick, or ever wondered why we celebrate him [St. Patrick's day]. Did you know that he's not actually not from Ireland he is from England if you have more questions read further through, most of your questions will be answered.

and it all starts with a little boy named Patrick. Now Patrick's family was religious and believed in god, but one day he was taken from his family, and captured by pirates. He got thrown on a ship, and off they went to Ireland soon he was sold into slavery separated from family he worked as a pig boy and watched over the sheep he was only feed twice a day and treated poorly. One night he had a dream of god telling him of a ship going back to the British. That morning he packed his stuff and snuck out. He traveled for quite a while, but he knew God was leading him to the right direction. Eventually he found the ship, Patrick trusted god. He talked to the owner of the ship. The owner said ''we only have a few people, so you can join us''. Off they went to England. They sailed quite a while until the captain said ''were out of food hey Patrick if you pray to that god of yours couldn't we get some food''. Patrick prayed. Suddenly they heard snorting in a barrel. They opened the barrel and there was a pig. They had a great meal that night. When they got to England Patrick reunited with his family. That night Patrick had a dream of a messenger. The messenger handed Patrick a letter Patrick opened the letter then and there he heard the voices of Ireland calling. ''help us'', ''teach us your ways", ''were desperate''. Patrick could hear all these whispers coming to him, it was like taking in a whole bunch of knowledge at one. That morning Patrick talked to his parents. He decided to return to Ireland and he built plenty of churches. Later Patrick died in 17,461 and became St. Patrick.

But that's not all St. Patrick did they say that St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity there are a couple more legends. Like there once there was a ship a captain, and St. Patrick asked for a ride. The captain said no because St. Patrick had a big stone with the ten commandments. ''The ship would sink'' the captain said. So, St. Patrick grabbed the giant stone chucked it on the water and rode away back to Ireland... that’s it. Here's my last legend even though there are plenty more this is my last. They say there are no snakes in Ireland because St. Patrick grabbed a drum and drummed away. The snakes heard the loud sound and ran away.

Well we meet again and I'm guessing most of your questions were answered, and even if you have herd that story before I bet you learned something new. St. Patrick is important to me because he's one of the first saints that I really learned about also his story really fascinates me he did some really, generous things for example he went back to the people who kept him as a slave to teach the ways of god. I hope you learned something new.
