What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary?
A Thesaurus.. ha ha ha.

sorry for the late blog.

sorry for the really late blog. I had a busy day and just got home.
So today, we took the first quiz on the united nations then searched up interesting facts and videos of the united nations. We heard from Jan and Jordan and their reading report assignment. After, mrs. loconte had notes on the different international organizations the UN has within it's organization.

Our homework is... finish reading the end of ch. 9 & quiz tomorrow on the peacekeeping section of the chapter.

Serenade Me

Yes, I FINALLY remembered to blog. It’s been a while. I’ve resorted to setting alarms on my ipod to remind me, but hey, it works so I’ll go with it. Today’s class began nervously as we prepared to present our songs. Bianca and I went first singing as song about the Battle of the Atlantic to Yellow Submarine by the Beatles. Jordan, Jan, and Taylor’s group presented next with Jordan and Jan rapping a song about the bombing of Pearl Harbour to the tune of I have no idea. They were complete with body art including tears, and I quote Jordan, for “the dead homies”. The songs were great. We still have yet to hear Curtis’ song which is supposedly to Skyfall by Adele. We’re looking forward to it Curtis! We then reviewed the section on the organs of the UN and the peacekeeping missions. I did a case study on former Secretary-General Kofi Annan and presented an example of real politik from who else, but North Korea. We do not have homework except for those of you who didn’t finish yesterday’s, you know who you are. Oh, but don’t forget to study for a quiz that we have tomorrow on the organs of the UN. Taylor also has a case study tomorrow on refugees. Friday there will be a quiz on the three peacekeeping missions of the UN that we read about and on Monday there will be one on the remained of the chapter.

The Camera Stole My Peacekeepers

Well, we got nowhere near as far as I wanted to today, so that means reading homework for you.
Tonight you will read about Peacekeeping Operations and we will focus on The Korean War, The Suez Crisis, and The Congo.
I have not assigned any questions as we will discuss them tomorrow.
To recap today, we spent a little bit of time elaborating on the Organs of the UN but we didn't even get through all of them.
History is a tool used by politicians to justify their intentions. ~Ted Koppel
I also brought in a recent news article of the UN at work (they want to probe the allegations that Crimes Against Humanity have been committed in North Korea).
I again reminded you that you have an assignment due at the end of the year: 5 examples of RealPolitik. I brought in a news article about China's lack of integrity when they operate businesses in Africa.
The big one for tonight is that your songs are due for tomorrow.
Colleen has a Biography on Kofi Annan for tomorrow also.

Before i forget

Hope everyone's enjoyed the day off.  Just remembered i had to blog  the homework. So...

Here's the homework:

Chapter 9: read pages 154-161 Questions: 1-6

Colleen has a case study due Tuesday and the song is due Wednesday.

I was going to end with a joke about a bank, but i lost interest...

burnt popcorn.

So today we watched a movie but didn't have time to finish it. Before we played the movie, we had some dilemma with setting up the movie, the overhead wasn't working and Curtis almost burnt down the whole school with burnt popcorn in the microwave.

For homework:
1. Finish reading chapter 7
2. answer questions #7-14 at the end of the chapter
3. Test on Chapter 7 on Thursday

Ignore the fact that it's Saturday and that I'm at a cactus club

So yesterday in t3h history class we read through the text book and did some review, and worked on our songs on WWII.  There is a test Thursday the 18th and the song is due on the 24th. Jan remember your case study for Monday.

GG

Communism, Wolf-packs and Freedom Fighters

We continued our discussion of WWII today with a focus on The Battle of the Atlantic, The Holocaust and The Resistance. Each student read a section and taught the class, but you are responsible for reading all three sections on your own.

We also began by reviewing early German advances in both France and Britain.

It is my goal to end this chapter tomorrow (a lofty goal, I know) and you will have a project for this chapter given tomorrow.

Due tomorrow: Storyboards.

The following is a quote that I think is good to incorporate as a general rule for life: 

“Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” 
― Yehuda Bauer

Have a delightful evening.

Read it!

Today we read more of the beginning of WW2 in Europe and discussed how Hitler was crazy..  We also discussed yesterdays reading which i know we all read so i don't have to remind us of what that was about..

Anyways, 
For homework we are to do the following:

Read pages 122-128 and do questions 6 and 7 on pg 138.

another quiz but a new chapter.

Sorry about the late blogging. just got home and had trouble logging in my blog account.
anyways... we took our 2nd quiz. We heard case studies from Colleen & Taylor then we started on our new chapter (Chapter 6) We read pg.98-101.

for homework read pg. 101-105 (the road to war) and do questions #4-8

And So It Continues

Today we sadly returned back to school after a lengthy break and jumped right back into the swing of things.  Just remember, three months left! We began with a current events quiz and then listened to Bianca as she presented about Stalin’s Purges. Next, we reviewed the section about Russia in Chapter 5. We took our quiz and after continued to review the rest of the chapter which was about the United States. Tomorrow we will be having a shorter, but very similar quiz to the one today about the US. And a reminder to me and Taylor that we have a case study to do tomorrow as well. So for homework, study for the quiz tomorrow. Mrs. Loconte suggested that it might be a good idea to do the questions at the end of the chapter. Have a good evening!
