Week 3
Week three has gone very well, the group fundraiser seems to be going very well. Tomorrw i have a meeting because I am in Mr. Steedmans group. For our fundraiser we are going to have a movie night April 30th i believe its goig to be at St. Pius or the green. I'm hoping that this will be something that people will be intrested in doing because i believe it is a freat idea. I think that if this fundraiser does well we could do another one right before summer break. I wish I had been able to go to Mr. Hyers house on Saturday the 11th because i believe that the projects they did are great ideas.

Moroccan Independence:1955
Mohammed V successfully negotiated the gradual restoration of Moroccan independence within a framework of French-Moroccan interdependence. It was not put into place until March of 1956. It was agreed that to institute reforms it would make Morocco a constitutional monarchy, but it would have a democratic form of government. There were further negotiations for full independence that culminated in the French Moroccan Agreement that was signed in Paris in March 1956. To get away from the Spanish protectorate and the recognition of Moroccan Independence by Spain took place in the Joint Declaration in April of 1956. Because of their new independence Morocco was able to retake Tangier in late 1956.
Morocco was not completely independent yet; it was still controlled by the Spanish. After the French agreed to let go of Morocco, there were further negotiations for full independence in the Spanish Moroccan Agreement, which was later signed in Paris in 1956. These negotiations were made final in the Joint Declaration of April 1956. Because of these agreements with Spain Morocco controlled certain Spanish-ruled area. Morocco even tried to gain more Spanish land using military force but they did not succeed.
In the months that came after independence Mohammed V was able to build a modern government structure that was under a constitutional monarchy. This meant that the Sultan would be able to exercise an active political role. Mohamed V was careful; he did not want to add more radical elements to the nation’s nationalist movement because it would overthrow the established order. He also needed to make sure that he prevent the Istiqlal from consolidating its' control and establishing a single partied state of its own. Mohammed V became king (a title) in August of 1957.

Morocco - Week One
How do you feel after the first week? Is your excitement more or less? Why?
My excitment is growing as we get closer to the trip and become more involved in the activities for going to Morocco.
What do you think about the fundraising ideas that were generated? How can you contribute?
I would like to offer a battle of the bands idea because DY Regional high School made a lot of money from this. Plus we have a lot of people in our school who are very musical and would love to participate in this.
What talents or connections do you have that can help the group?
I do not have any connections to restruants or other stores that could lend us supplies, but I have connections to the hispital, and to the firedepartment which could be useful if we need chairs or tables that they could lend me.
What are you going to do to participate in the small group meeting when you meet on Monday or Tuesday? What is your favorite fundraising idea that you've heard?
I will offer anything that is revelant to the point we are going to discuss.
