For once - gasp - I don't have a compelling and interesting blog post, since History class the last two days has been ... well, not so compelling and not so interesting.
Due to the PSATs yesterday, class was cut short, leaving us with only enough time to share our findings from the previous class. We were split in half in order to share our summaries of each section of the Declaration of Independence. Eventually, however, it morphed into a giant game of 'Which Side Can Shout the Declaration of Independence Louder?' But we got the notes and a basic understanding of what the colonists were looking for while the wrote their Declaration, so I guess it's just a win-win.
Today, we were sadly Mr. Boyle-less. Even sadder was the fact that we were left with "The Crisis" to read, Thomas Paine's ideas on the Revolution. While it was informative, it was daunting, and on top of it we had to write an essay comparing his first line - "these are the times that try men's souls" - to our country and our problems today.
That, in a nutshell, was History class. Enjoy my lovely blog post.
