BURR:
There’s nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch ‘em talk

Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded
Uh oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at

COMPANY: Work, work
ANGELICA: Angelica!
COMPANY: Work, work
ELIZA: Eliza!
PEGGY: And Peggy!
COMPANY: Work, work
The Schuyler sisters

ANGELICA: Angelica!
PEGGY: Peggy!
ELIZA: Eliza!
COMPANY: Work!

PEGGY: Daddy said to be home by sundown
ANGELICA: Daddy doesn’t need to know
PEGGY: Daddy said not to go downtown
ELIZA: Like I said, you’re free to go

But—look around, look around
The revolution’s happening in New York
ELIZA & PEGGY: New York
COMPANY: Angelica
SISTERS & COMPANY: Work!

PEGGY: It’s bad enough Daddy wants to go to war
ELIZA: People shouting in the square
PEGGY: It’s bad enough there’ll be violence on our shore
ANGELICA: New ideas in the air

ANGELICA & MALE ENSEMBLE: Look around, look around—

Woa-oah
SISTERS: Woa-oah
SISTERS & COMPANY: Work!

BURR:
Ooh, there’s nothing like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin’ pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it’s not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy’s got money
Why you slummin’ in the city in your fancy heels?
You searchin’ for an urchin who can give you ideals?

ANGELICA: Burr, you disgust me

BURR:
Ahh, so you’ve discussed me
I’m a trust fund, baby, you can trust me

ANGELICA:
I’ve been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I’m intense or I’m insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:

ALL SISTERS:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal”

ANGELICA and (COMPANY):
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson (unh!)
I’mma compel him to include women in the sequel

WOMEN: Work!

ELIZA:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
ELIZA, PEGGY:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
ALL SISTERS:
History is happening in Manhattan and we
Just happen to be in the greatest city in the world

Marshmallow challenge

Was there a leader on your team? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be?
If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped?
If you had a leader, how did he/she do?
How helpful was everyone on your team in challenging the process of building the tallest structure? Did anyone appear to be an expert?
Did any team members tune out of the activity — out of frustration with other members or for some other reason? What could you have done to keep all members of the group fully engaged?
Did you feel everyone’s ideas were well received during the activity?
How did you feel as the time limit was approaching? Did pressure increase? If yes, was that helpful or not?
In retrospect, what could you have done better?
Did you celebrate small wins? If yes, how did you do this?

1. We did not have a leader we all kind of were the leaders because we all gave ideas and took charge when it wasn’t needed.

2. It may have helped us id we had one main leader because than we could have been more organized.

3 we all were leaders for different parts of the challenge and we all did very well.

4 everyone was very helpful in makeing our structure

5. No one appeared to be an expert we all seemed to not know what we were doing

6.  No one tuned out or got frustrated we all actually stayed calm and stayed on task we were all laughing most of the time which I think was one of the best parts of this challenge.

7. I think everyone’s ideas were reserved and got put into our structure.

8 I felt I bit of pressure put on to our team as we hit a serten time limit but we ended up getting pretty tall but it fell

9. We could have Mabey added more tape to hold the together and used the string to support it more so when we put the marshmallow on it wouldn’t bend and break .

10 ours did not even standing up for 2 seconds the second we let it go it fell down on to the ground but over all we did a grea job got to get to know one another.

I think that marijuana should not be legal becuse if affects your brain and if it’s legal more people will lie it and even if there is an age limit people abover the age will buy it and sell it to under aged kids and teens and more younger aged kids will be using. Also people can get cancer from smoking t much if it and if it’s legalized more people will smoke so much they wil, get addicted more people will be addicted to it that they will smoke so much that it will ruin there lungs and give them canserr also who ever buys it may put stuff in it and sell it to younger kids and they could die. It may not of killed anyone but it sure is still dangerous yes it is used for metical reasons but how’s so people are using it it’s  not all only for sick people there using it to be cool that it why I think marijuana should not be legal

Now some people would say that it should be legal becuse people use it fir metical care and it has not killed anyone so it’s totally safe and it should good that it’s legal and that people are safe and won’t sell it to under aged kids and that kids will use it fir good reason only not be be cool but to have fun becuse being high on a drug is fun becuse it makes you feel funny and you forget what you did the night before when you were on the drug that what’s most addictive marijuanan peoole wouod say becuse they have researched that it’s safe and it’s  ok to use a drug that may or may not give uiu canseer becuse it’s better that smoking or drinking whit h it is but technology people,still do it anyways to be cool

racism back then and now

Katie racism back then and now

Racism back that was pretty bad. When they would go and watch a play or something the white people and the black people could not even sit together and when someone refused to move because they were sitting with the wrong people they would be pulled you right out if there seat and put you were you are supposed to be crazy right. Also they couldn’t even use the same bathroom as the whites what a world to live in that backs and whites used different bathrooms just because of their skin color and that not even the worsted part. Young Black boys were assumed to be aggressive and up to no good so there just trying to say that because they are black and little there and that there mean and hurt people and aggressive and ‘’ Dangerous’’ but that was probably not even true they just thought that because of their skin color. Around the 900s black people were discriminated in Canada and the U.S. something else that’s hard to believe sometimes is that some people lost the right to vote because of the color of their skin like that’s terrible. Racism now is not as bad but as back than but it’s bad in a ways some people might think they have formed a law that is against discrimination towards people with different color skin and I’m not going to say that people now are perfect and never say anything racist they do but its more controlled now and you can get in some trouble if you get caught saying a thing raciest and now we can all use the same bath rooms and sit were ever we want to. So yes it has change a lot in the past few years before it was bad now it’s bad but more controlled more than back than so this was my racism back then and now paragraph hope you learned what it was like for black and white people to live in a country back than

Getting over me fear of singing to big crowds

I have huge stage fright but I thought that I needed to get over that fear and sing. so I needed to find a song  I looked for days practicing. and when the day came that it was time for me to sing I looked at how many people were out there and I started sweating and kinda tearing up but I walked out on  stage and the music play but I didn’t say a word it was like my voice got scared and ran away I  wish I could of done the the same thing. I was still frozen still like a statue but than like 2 minutes later I herd the crowd yelling my name and saying I could do it and when I Hurd that I sang my heart out now I’m not as scared to sing infrount of big crowds but I’m still kinda am that was my sway paragraph hope u liked it.
