Hasan's Assginment 10.

Day 1, 1880.

Dear diary, we just finished working on the rail way the goes through the Fraser Canyon, which is the most dangerous part of building the railway.

Many of my friends have died because of either a disease or in a construction accident. Our work is dangerous, and the worst part is, us, the Chinese rail workers, that are doing the dangerous work of setting explosions in the mountains so we can build the railway through, are only getting 1$ a day! While whites, blacks, and natives are getting 3$ a day.

Most of us live in tents, they don't really provide protection against falling rocks, or when the weather is bad. Most of my non-Chinese friends live in sleeping cars and railway-built houses, which we don't think is fair.

Many of us are dieing, at least 1 Chinese worker is dieing per mile. So many people died over the course of the year, when we first came here in 1880, we had 5000 workers, after a year of work, we are left with 1500 people only.

I drew a map of how the railway is going to be like when we are all finished.

A fix to the spacing problem.

Some people are having problems with the spacing between lines. When your writing the blog it looks like this :

Hey my name is ______.


I'm going to be talking about Blogging.


When you publish it, it turns into:


Hey my name is ______.
I'm going to be talking about Blogging.


And it doesn't look as good. To fix that, hit the enter button not once, but twice. So when writing the blog it looks like this:

Hey my name is ______.



I'm going to be talking about Blogging.


In the blog it will look like this:

Hey my name is ______.

I'm going to be talking about Blogging.

Hasan Assignment #8 - The Real Riel.

Hello this is my assignment 8- The Real Riel.


It's 2109, and scientists have made a time travel machine, that tajkes you back in time. Jerry Springer though that it would be nice to interview Canadas most controversial figure.

Jerry: Hello. Today we will be interviewing some one who is a leader of his people in their resistance against the Canadian government in the Northwest part of Canada. He is the most controversial figure in Canadian history. Please welcome Louis Riel.

Louis: Thank you Mr. Springer, and thank you for having me on your show.

Jerry: Your welcome and thank you for coming. So please tell us a little about you.

Louis: I was born in the Red River Settlement, or you can call it Manitoba in 1844. I was sent to Montreal to train for the priesthood, but I never graduated.

Jerry: Sorry to hear that.

Louis: Its OK, So as i was saying. In 1868 I went back to the Red River area. I was well educated, so I quickly emerged as a leader among the Métis of the Red River. In 1869-1870 I headed a provisional government, which eventually negotiate the Manitoba Act with the Canadian government.

Jerry: That's very interesting, can you tell us a little more about The Manitoba Act?

Louis: Sure. Basically the act established Manitoba as a province, and provided some protection for French language rights.The Act established Manitoba as a province and provided some protection for French language rights.

Jerry: So tell us how you got involved with the Métis.

Louis: In 1884, while teaching in Montana at a Jesuit mission, I was asked by the community of Métis from the south of the Saskatchewan to present their grievances to the Canadian government. Despite my assistance, the federal government ignored our concerns.

Jerry: So what happened?

Louis: By March of 1885, Métis patience was over, and a provisional government was declared.

Jerry: I see. So it's debated that your a traitor. Whats your side of the story?

Louis: I don't think of my self as a traitor. I am a patriot who stood up for my beliefs, and my people.

Jerry: Well i think that your a very brave man, and i would love to have you again on my show.

Louis: Thank you, and I would love to comeback. But that will be kind of hard, because as you can see...... I'm dead.

Hasan's assignment #7 ☺

Hey, this is my assignment #7, its going to be long. So sit back and relax.

Link to the assignment and other things at the bottom.

Lets get started.

Q1: Which category of Canadian Personalities interested you the most? Did you like the "we inspired", "we founded", "we fought", "we built" or "we governed" section the best? Why?

A1: The "we built" category interested me the most. The reason was that without people like David Thompson, James Bernard Harkin, Samuel DE Champlain, Francis Rattenbury, and Jules Timmins, our country wouldn't be as great as it is now and not as modern.

Q2:Which personality interested you the most? Why? Find an image of him or her to embed (add to the body of your post) and write, in your own words, a short description of what he or she did and why he or she is your favourite. If you get information from any source, you must credit it by creating a link to it (that includes information from the site that I've asked you to look at.)







A2: The personality that interested me the most was Samuel de Champlain. He interested me the most because he was a great man, he was a soldier, an explorer, cartographer, writer, tireless promoter of the colony of New France, and a man of colossal scope.

Born in 1567 in Brouage on the Atlantic coast of France. He traveled to New France, explored the St. Lawrence River as far as whats know as Montreal these days. He shed a new light on the geography of North America. He made alliances with the Aboriginals, traded fur with them, and fought in their war.


Q3:In your post, suggest three more influential Canadian personalities that could be added to this site. Why did you choose these people? Which categories would they fit into? Link to information about each of them.

A3: Three people I think they should be added to this site would be Karine Sergerie, William Lyon Mackenzie King, and Tim Horton. The reason that made me choose these people was that they are all leaders in what they do.


Karine Sergerie, current reigning world champion in women's Taekwando. She is Canada's first female world champion in the sport. She is the six-time national champion, 2002-2008.

William Lyon Mackenzie King, was a Canadian lawyer, economist, university professor, civil servant, journalist, and politician. He served as the tenth Prime Minister of Canada from . With over 21 years in the office, he was the longest serving Prime Minister in British Common wealth history.

Tim Horton, was a Canadian professional hockey defence man. He played for many hockey teams. He founded Tim Horton's, Canada's largest restaurant chain.

I think that Karine Sergerie would fit in the "we inspired" category, William Lyon Mackenzie King would fit in the "we governed" category, and Tim Horton would fit in the "we founded" category.


Q7. Which History-Maker did you have the most in common with? Were you able to figure it out from the clues given? What do you share with that person? What are some things that are different between you and that person?

Q7:The history maker that i had the most common with was James Naismith. In case you guys don't know him, he is the inventor of basketball.

Sadly, I wasn't able to figure out who the person was from the clues given :'( . The things in common between us were that we both like sports, like soccer, swimming and football. The only different thing about us, is that he invented and loved basketball, and i really don't like basketball. (maybe because i stink at it. your call.)


Q8:Think long and hard about this part and then post an answer to this question on your blog:
e.) One hundred years from now, (in 2109!) imagine that students are learning about Canadian History Makers and they discover you. What will you be remembered for? How were you a Canadian History Maker? You are using your imagination, so think about some things that you would like to accomplish in your life and imagine that you have all the accomplishments of your life to look back on. Write a short profile of yourself, imagining the contributions you have made to the future of Canada. (Write this as though you've lived your whole life. You may have been a phenomenal athlete, the first black Prime Minister, cured cancer...use your imagination!)


Hasan kadim, born in 1995, august 25th. First Canadian gold medalist in Taekwando, top scorer on his soccer team, and the worst basketball player known in Canada.

Hasan was introduced to Taekwando when he was 8. His first match ended with a broken hand, but he got better as he went on to win the bronze medal in the boys 10 and under champion ship. As he grew up he stacked about 19 gold medals, 12 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals. He loved the sport of soccer, and he lead the Canadian soccer team to their FIRST gold cup in 2014.

Hasan never really liked to play basketball. He wasn't the best, in fact he wasn't good at it at all.

Hasan was a scientist too. He cured lung cancer, made a new type of guns for the police to use, called the "Binder". It binds the criminal in his place, paralyzed. Giving the police a while to arrest the criminal. He also made a machine that sends clouds into the sky and make them rain, to cure drought.

He was also a politician, he brought peace to Iraq and Afghanistan. And made alliances between countries that used to be in war with each other.

Hasan's assignment #6

This is my assignment #6 Black History Month. And I'm going to be talking about the worlds fastest man, Harry Jerome.


Harry Jerome, world's fastest man and one of our best-known athletes. He broke Percy Williams old record in the 220-yard sprint when he was just 18. He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatoon, and lived in Vancouver. Harry chose to avoid the limelight even after his athletic legend began to grow. "The Canadian Press often mistook his quiet demeanour for arrogance and aloofness."


He achieved a world record by running a 100 meter sprint in 10 seconds! But his career almost came to an end at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia. Jerome suffered a career threatening injury, completely severing his left quadriceps muscle, most surgeons said that he would never run again.

But that didn't stop him, he came back to win another medal at The 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, and to prove all the surgeons wrong, he actually set a new record, he ran 100 yards in 9.1 sec to beat his old record.

In 1966 he reclaimed his status as the world's fastest human. But he was getting older, so he decided to retire after the 1968 Olympics, but to every ones surprise, he finished seventh. But he wasn't sad because he has already won a lot of medals, so he was happy for the winners.

And that's how the life of a great man ended and his legacy began.

Hasan's super duper assignment #5

This blog will be talking about how first Canadians survived Canada's sheer cold, and why they thought that this was a "better life."
Based on the Canadian encyclopedia Here, the pioneer house's were typically a one-room structure made of logs, field stone, spruce poles or prairie sod, and they had to provide fuel for the fire place was a constant chore; timber, although plentiful in many areas, had to be felled, trimmed, cut into lengths and carried home.
Now there are allot of reason why people would want to come to Canada and say that this is a better life, some reasons would be:

• "They were not allowed freedom of worship.
  
• The government had control over their way of life.
  
• Men were forced to serve in the army.
  
• There were no jobs or the jobs were low-paying jobs.
  
• Many were poor and barely made enough to survive.
  
• Farmers wanted to own their own land.
  
• Cities were overcrowded, dirty and polluted". Taken fro wikipedia.

So to them this was a better life.

The reason my family moved to Canada is because my dad had found a job here, so we had to move. We came to Canada three days before winter. We enjoyed springs weather, but we were shocked when winter came. Because we just came from one of the worlds hottest country to one of the worlds coldest country. We thought of returning to U.A.E but we decided to stay.

Hasan's Assignment #4

I think that my class mates have put in some time and thoughts into assignment #3 and they have some really good points.


Some of the blogs I've visited were : Stefans,, Tales, Firas.


I really don't think there is something as what Firas said "doomsday" that's suppose to happen in 2012., but i do think we will end up living on Mars, Tale said "In 100 years I think Canada will be along side the rest of the world on the planet Mars", and I i really think that people will have robots to do things for them, like Stephan said "The people that have alot of money will probably not worry bout nothing. They can get a robot to do their lives for them". Most of these things i never thought of.

To the Nines-- reviewing the centuries Response assignment #3

Hi, I'm going to be responding to Christopher Moore's blog called "To the nines reviewing the centuries blog as my history assignment #3. Here

The question he's asking is what we think Canada will be like in 100 years from now.
I think Canada will improve a lot in those upcoming 100 years, maybe they'll find a cure for cancer, or students will stop using textbook and use blogs instead.

Maybe scientists will find a solution for global warming if they spend a little more time on it because this is a lot more important than things like living on mars or making a new game system.

Maybe we will find a way to plant some plants on mars so we get oxygen on mars so we will be able to live there eventually because it is said that scientist have already found water there.

Instead of using oil for energy because its expensive and limited, scientist would probably find a way to make solar powered cars which i think they're already working on or solar powered airplanes.

Maybe they would make a machine that predict when earth quakes are about to happen or create machines that act like mountains to stop or weaken the earth quakes, because mountains are said to weaken earth quakes
