I learned from the assembly that different races or cultures have different creeds.White people believed balck people were at a lower social level than them.Africans believe in 7 principals that lead to a good life.It's all different.If we were all the same there would be everyone wearing the same loincloth , going to the same cave to beat a rock with a club , and going to the same home.If people were'nt different , we would never have achieved what we have today.We have a 3D game console for god sake!The word different can have a ton of meanings , creativity , new ideas . At lest this is what i define it as.

In the Black History Month assembly, I have learned many things.I learned that we must thank the people who have brought us here today such as,our teachers,our parents,and others who made a difference to this world.The 7 principles taught me new things and new words.For example,the word a-shay means,the power.The 7 principles taught me more than that,it also taught me other meaningful things.For instance,I learned that the 7 principles could lead to a successful life for Africans and others.My favorite part of the assembly was all the traditional dances.This assembly taught me that blacks,whites,and others are all equal in every way, and I really enjoyed it.To conclude,we should always remember that no matter what color you are,we are all still equal.

At the assembley I learned that we are all equal in many ways.I also learned the 7 principles are important to Aficans and others. Also that they can be very helpful in life. My favorite part at the assembley was when the whole audience was trying to repeat the words they were saying. Also when the little kids started dancing on stage. I really enjoyed it.

ReplyDeleteThe Black History Month Assembly was very engrossing and had foreign Language. In the Black History Month Assembly, I saw and learned African culture (especially dances) I mean look at those moves they did! I was also impressed the rhythmic beats the drummers made. The most important and my favorite part of the assembly was the discussion about how everyone is equal and how Africans experience the world. The main man discussed about how the Africans were treated like property and taken as slaves at the 1500 - 1600s. He also discussed about there language and how each word means something. an thats when The Seven Principles comes in. Umoja means Unity. Kujichagulia is self - determination. Ujima means collective work and responsibility. Ujamaa is cooperative economics. Nia means purpose. Kuumba means creativity and Imani means faith. These words of principles I should say are very important for the people of Africa. It should be important to all of us. Overall the assembly was very interesting. What do you think about Black History Month or The Seven Principles?

ReplyDeleteThe assembly was a great show. I learned lots of things from the assembly. For example, I didn’t know the 7 principles until I went to the assembly. Also, there were words I didn’t comprehend: nia that meant purpose. Nia is a special word because it means purpose. I believe that purpose is when no one will stop someone from what they want to do. Another word that I believe is interesting is Kuumba. This word means for creativity, and I think it means to do art work, to help out a community that has been obliterated. For instance, if there is a community that is poor, a school can associate to paint a mural for the community. My favorite part of the assembly was when the women danced. It was very entertaining and interesting how they danced. Also, when the woman chose the fifth graders to go up to dance with her. When the man was doing his speech it was very interesting.

In the Black History Month assembly on Wednesday February 16, I learned the 7 principles. I learned that we must thank the people who have brought us to this world here today and have been there their whole lives to help us. We should also thank those people who made a difference to this world to make it a better place. These people changed the world to help and improve the future, like today. The two main words from the principles that I remember the most are nia which means purpose and imani which mean faith. For example, just as many people have taught me the 7 principles told the audience what are the meaningful things in life and to enjoy the little thing while they last.The 7 principles could lead me to a successful life. Therefore, my favorite part of the assembly was all the traditional dances. The women seemed to be having fun dancing. Wouldn't you like to be proud to show your culture?

ReplyDeleteWhat I learned in the assembly is that culture is something very special. For example, their type of music, clothing and dances. Also on how they really respect their religion. Even in their performance they talked about religion. The 7 principles taught me how to say words and teach me more about their culture. I can imagine the cultures out there that many people dont get to experience.
ReplyDeleteThe assembly on black history month teached me many things. I learned thing from differences that mean we should not be separated to principals of life. First, I learned about many customs. Such as instruments, music, clothing, principals of life and dances. One important thing I learned was we should not judge others by there differences. For example, you may not like someone just because they are black, but you shouldn't judge them before you even meet the person. Finally, I have learned many words. I have learned words for some principals like Imani or Umoja to words for peace. Overall, I enjoyed and learned many things at the assembly.

ReplyDeleteIn the assembly I learned that you should be proud of your culture. You can't just let someone tear you down because of you skin. Everyone has the right to show they are proud of their culture. Stand up for you rights, or nothing will change.

In the assembly i learned many things. One thing I learned was that we are all equal, it does not matter what the color of our skin is. I learned the 7 principles. I also learned that we should all thank our ancienter. The 7 principles taught me more than that,it also taught me other meaningful things. i learned the word "Nia" which means purpose i didnt know that word untill i went to the assembly. I think the people in the back with the drums and the girls who was dancing was good and did a great job. I learned many things about theAfrican American and that we all are equal no matter what.

I think that it is great that we can be expressive of the customs in our school. In high school, we are introduced to the customs of various cultures throughout the world. It is important to learn about other customs so that we can appreciate and understand them. In this way, the barriers of racism can be eliminated. I am glad that this tradition is continued at our school. For it when we forget about each others customs so we know how important it is that our beliefs are to each individual in the school. In some classes we get to show are individually in projects. One of the projects was in cooking class. In cooking class we made something that had to do with our

In the assembly i learned that the culture if africab anericans is alot more deep than tought in class. For example, when the man said that civilazation started in africa. They explained how culture is rooted not only on how people look but it is about how they act. To learn about other cultures is not in referance to only black people but to every culture out there. My favorite part was when the people dabced and they brought the audience up on stage. This made the audience feel the cultural signifacance of music in the african cultur. ASHÉ.
ReplyDeleteIn the assembly I learned the culture of African Americans. I learned what the true meaning of there words are and what there culture means to them and how it is so important to them. Like the 7 principles the word "Nia" means purpose, though my favorite one is "Imani" which means faith. What surprised me was that when the man had said slavery started in Africa and how much people was involved. My favorite part of the assembly is when the women started to come out and dance and then I thought one of them was Mrs.Hamilton but I got that one wrong, oops! Overall I thought the assembly was educational but yet entertaining at the same time and I would love to watch it again.

I learned a lot about black culture. One thing i learned after the assembly was that blacks are awesome drummers. Another thing i learned was that there are 7 principals, Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujaama, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. The people who performed at the assembly were expressing their culture. For instance, their dances and beats were probably rituals like Ashley said. My favorite parts of the assembly was mostly the beats. The thing that confused me was their baggy clothes. Why baggy? Nothin offensive.

The assembly for Black History month was very interesting. The 7 principlals they live by are what they beleive in and tell how they live their life. They are very musical people and are great at playing the drums. Hearing what they said about how and when slavery started for African americans surprised me. I learned how different civilizations live their everyday lives. I had a great time throughout the whole assembly.
