Class Recap 1/28

Today in class we went to the media lab and did some research on specific states during reconstruction. My group was assigned to Georgia. We also looked at a politic cartoon that depicted KKK holding a skull over fearful former slaves. We were then told to fill out a worksheet on it. I didn't mind this class because it was different than the other ones!

We also listened to an interview with Virginia's first black governor and another guy who was part of a Confederate Organization. the guy part of the organization was trying very hard to avert the fact that slavery was the cause of the civil war by changing the subject.

Winnie The Pooh Quiz 1/22

After looking at the character, i believe i am most like either Kanga or Tigger. They both portray one side of me, and together they pretty much sums me up, Kanga is good- natured and has a big heart. Amongst my friends, i generally take on the motherly role of making sure everyone is happy and taken care of. On the other hand, i have a very silly side which is most like Tigger. Just like me, Tigger is full of energy. The trait that i also noticed Tigger has is loyalty which i can most definitely relate to considering the fact that being loyal is a huge part of my life. My result came out to be Rabbit. It explained that i am clever, intelligent, and level headed but i have a short temper when people act foolishly. After reading this description, i am not surprised i got this character at all and i am content with it! http://www.brainfall.com/results/which-winnie-the-pooh-character-are-you/

Class Recap 1/8

Today in class we took notes. It was quite boring and I was not of a fan of it. The only upside to today was that we finally got some answers to questions regarding the test and project that is due this week. Yesterday, we had a day much like today. We sat there and took notes from a PowerPoint... Very boring.

Class Recap 1/3

Today in class we talked a great deal about the Emancipation Proclamation. this was due to not only the fact that its what we're learning about but also because it just had its 150th anniversary date only two days ago. People lined up to see the original document and celebrate what it achieved. However, we then took a look at a professors blog post about the event. He questioned the importance of the document and stressed the fact that he believed Lincoln could have done more with his power. We then discussed if we agreed of disagreed with him and then proceeded to have a worksheet on the Gettysburg Address.
