__**Our Pit**ch__
Have you ever wondered how to resolve big conflicts that had once been runty little quarrels? We're making a movie to show you different versions of war. Our movie will include two sections, war and peace. Our first section will include four scenes on different kinds of war. The next section will also have 4 scenes on how peace can be developed. One of the reasons why we're making a movie is to help visual learners because of our facial expressions and body languages that are displayed. A lot of people in the world understand movies better than books or slide shows. Secondly, movies come with audio so it's easier for the audience to understand because you can see and hear at the same time. Lastly, movies are modern technology so it's easier to reach our audience's understandings and connects faster with world. So support our movie, and peace will be justified.

= Planning Your Project =

Phase 1: Defining Your Task
//Describe what you need to do in this project. You'll want to pay close attention to the 'Skills and Understandings' you will need to demonstrate by the end of the// //project.// //Here you can begin brainstorming different ways to complete 'The Project Challenge'//
 * We need to understand the different forms of conflict, historical reasons why people fight, different ways of maintaining peace, use modern technology to understand peace and conflict, and to know how to create a rubric.**
 * We are going to make a movie on different versions of war and how peace can be created during a fight.**

Phase 2: Seeking Information
//What kinds of information will you need so you can complete this project?// //What kinds of resources can you use to find this information?//
 * We need to know about the different kinds of wars.**
 * We need to know different ways of people bringing peace.**
 * We need to know what is the worst part of war when happening and historical records of wars.**
 * We need to know how many conflicts build up.**
 * The kinds of resources that we can use is books, websites, blogs, magazines, people, and our knowledge.**

Phase 3: Locating Information
//Where are you going to find this information?// //Here you want to begin building a specific list of your sources. Whenever you find a new resource add it to this list.// //If you are going to use websites please add them to our Diigo Bookmarks.// __**Websites for Different Types of Conflicts:**__ [] This is the Korean War: [] This is the Hiroshima Bomb Attack. [] These are the conflict between Osama Bin Laden and the U.S. government: [] [] []
 * We are going to find this information in libraries, places that have internet sources such as internet cafes, and places that occupies humans.**

[] Hiroshima attack and Pearl Harbor: [] __**Websites for Different Ways to Solve Conflicts:**__ [] []

__**Websites Where Our Info Was Found**__ [] [] [] [] []

__**Books**__ Living Through History, The Second World War - C.A.R. Hills

Phase 4: Gathering Useful Information
//This is the place to collect all your notes and ideas for this project. If you are working with partners each person will add their notes to this section.// //After each entry, please remember to include your source of information in parentheses.. For example: (www.findingpeace.org) or (The Kid's Guide to Solving Conflicts by G.Ideeus)// __**Introduction:**__
 * **What this movie is about?**
 * **What we will be showing in this movie**
 * What is the reason you like movies for? I've asked a lot of people and they told me, "Action! Violence!" But actually, violence is the real conflict in the world. So let me ask,** **"Do you think there is peace?" Honestly, I think there had never been peace, what with all the fighting and the wars, we would've thought the world was created for violence. So, tell me why is the everyone fighting? I mean, take North and South Korea as examples. They are both two countries with potential that just cannot get along. Why are they still fighing even if people say, "Two minds are better than one." How could America and Iraq be fighting when they both have what they need? Are you still wondering? Well, that is when we come in handy. This movie is based on different versions of war created from different perspectives. But what about peace? We also show later in the movie how peace can be created in different ways. So, uh... I don't really have an ending for this. Our group didn't give me an ending so... um.... oh yeah! PEACE OUT!**

**The** Japan**'s decision to fight against** China **during the evolution of World War II was a disaster. This war was also known as The Second Sino Japanese war and was a military conflict between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. This war was the largest Asian war known in the 20th Century. The imperialist policy had been aiming to conquer** China **for a long time.** Japan**'s jealousy of** China**'s raw resources and huge land spaces had already grown a decade earlier.** Japan **is a small country while her neighbor** China **was the exact opposite. The land was vast and great and she had a ton of natural resources at her disposal.** Japan **was a small land and economically, the country was struggling. The lands were being more crammed in with Japanese. Fortunately, the** Japan **army was still intact. On the day of June 7th 1937, the Japanese troops marched into** China**.** Marco Polo Bridge **was only known as a small incident when there was an unexpected clash between the** Japan **and** China **but this had unofficially declared war. Later on, the** Japan **had the assistance of** Germany**. The Chinese were unable to respond quickly and effectively to the** Japan **army. There was a big difference in the two armies. The Japanese army was armed, trained, and well equipped. They were well developed and industrial. They were independent when it comes to weapons because they know how to design and manufacture their own. The leadership was honest and committed and on account of that, the Japanese army was brutal, merciless, cruel, and strong spirited. However, the Chinese army was the exact opposite. They had almost no air force, little artillery, and few armored units. They relied on imported weapons and the leadership was extremely poor. With after a small victory, the** Japan **started conquering the eastern** China **and the major ports. During this whole invasion, at 1939** Europe **was in chaos. Because of this invasion, the Japanese relationships with the Soviet Union, the** United States**, and the** Britain **were severed. The war ended later on with the surrender of the Japanese at 1945.**

Phase 5: Synthesis [[image:http://c1.wikicdn.com/i/c.gif width="22" height="22" caption="decrease size"]]
//Describe how you are going to __demonstrate__ your new understandings.// //Describe what you will produce to __promote__ an understanding of conflict and peace.//
 * We will be demonstrating our understandings by making a movie and writing a script. Writing the script for the movie will show our understandings because we would've done research on different ways of wars and peace are created to to write the script. We will also be acting in our movie so it will show how we understand because of our tone, body language, and facial expressions.** **In our movie, we will also be using historical records of war such as** __**World War II**__**. We will be showing pictures and film clips of war and peace. In our movie, we will be showing (historical) people who we think represent peace.**

Phase 6: Evaluation
//How will you know when you have successfully completed this project?// //What rubric will you want me to use to assess if you have successfully demonstrated the Skills and Understandings of this project.//
 * We will know when we have successfully completed this project when we can list different types of war and when we can describe to someone in our own words how we can maintain peace for a brighter and better future. To promote our understandings we will send the film via email so our audience can watch it.**
 * We would like to be assessed on the rubric similar to the Ancient World Oration Rubric.**
