Slave songs

Explain the feeling that you get when you listen to these songs?
I feel sad because I heard what they felt like as slaves. I can't imagine myself being in there place.I feel so guilty, listening to these songs, them working everyday 24 hours without resting, and here we are in school learning and making friends, but some of us don't even appreciate things we have in life. Think about others, not just yourself.

What kind of information about slavery did you learn from these songs?
That they get taken away from their families. They want freedom.
They were picking cotton all day everyday, and white people take them. They really want their old lives back. They want to lye down and taking breaks.


What can you relate to in any of these songs?
-Moses in the bible
-Me in the kitchen
...


What do you think the slaves are talking about in these songs?
The slaves are expressing their feelings to each other by singing(making up) songs.
Each song has meanings to them. Signals to escape.

When slaves were working on the field, they wanted to express their feelings. So they would sing songs, but make it up while singing. They weren't singing songs that were already written, they didn't write anything down, they just sang while working. 
Some of the songs they sang have meanings to it. 
E.g, 'Swing low Sweet chariot'

This is my favourite because, if you hear any slave singing this song on the field or at night, the Americans thought Oh it's a lovely Christian song, but actually they sing it when the case is clear, it's time to escape.(Smart)
This song would reference the way to the Underground Rail Road

Another good song is called 

'The River Jordan'
Meaning: Become the Ohio River, or the Mississippi, or another body of water that had to be crossed on the journey to freedom.

My Introduction
Me and my class 10DTE, were doing infographic on Ergonomics. This is to help the people that ends up with sore pain on their necks, shoulders and back after going on their computer.. It tells you how to sit properly and where to place your monitor, arms, shoulders and head. It's really important to follow these steps otherwise you'll damage your musculature, and your body can cause big problems to your health, that ain't healthy.

I've made mine like this which is down below on the 14/2/18, and where I've got my information was from Wyvern Business Systems - UK.COM. Designed by myThem.es.

 I read the information and made it into my own words I've also searched it on google so I could add more information into it

. 

My Reflection

I like doing a infographic because I like the layout of it. I can easily read and understand it. Doing the inforgraphic on ergonomics helped me to learn more about ergonomics, I've learnt that if you drop your neck down but keeping your head straight forward  is causing pain on your neck,shoulder, and back. I've also learnt that you need to put your feet flat on the ground and your legs should be on the same level as your waist and how to make a infographic. I think it's a good idea to post this on my blog so the students could read this because, there are many students in this school that has been through the pains and It's time for them to learn how to get rid of it and how to sit properly and have a better sitting posture.

So After reading this and doing the actions, you'd wanna thank me for blogging this.

So, now thart you've read this, 

What have you learnt about this blog?

Will you follow these steps?

Are you going to make a better sitting posture?

or

Are you going to continue the bad habit to cause the pains on your body?

My map of the slave trade triangle

What is the Slave Trade Triangle? 

Slave Trade Triangle is also known as the Triangular Trading System, that operated from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa, Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers, with the northern colonies of British North America, especially New England, sometimes taking over the role of Europe.

What is the First Passage?

The First Passage was from Europe to Africa. The cargo on this passage was guns and weapons.

What is the Middle Passage?

The Middle Passage is where Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold. They were bartered for a ship-load of tobacco and cotton.

The rest of the slaves were shipped to the USA and processed for auction. It was here where the Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar Cane and other products slaves produced were put in ships.

What is the Third Passage? 

The Third Passage is when all the cotton, tobacco and other products are put back on ships and sent to Europe. Once the ships get to Europe, they are sold. Then more guns and weapons are purchased.
