The last Monday before our last Peak Week...

There is a test on Thursday, which you can review for by doing the homework on those two matching sheets that were handed out to us today. That is all.

Fun Fact: The earliest surviving pair of socks found date back to 300-500 AD.

Provincials are out...

So there is no homework this weekend.  Sleep in all of you :)

The die is cast

If my memory is not flawed like usual, there is no homework except for the next groups presenting.
Be sure to check out what movies you would like to do for the assignment Mrs Loconte talked about today. If you don't understand what I'm saying go ask her tomorrow.

Fun Fact (Beware this one is long):
nigiri zushi or nigiri was introduced in the early 19th century as a street food, it was an oblong mound of rice with a slice of fish on top of it. It was after the Kanto earthquake of 1923 that the dish was popularized throughout Japan through displacement of nigiri sushi chefs. The sushi we know today was an early type of fast food developed for the busy lifestyle that people in Edo (what we know today as Tokyo) lived.

Monday's: mere misery, mere morning mess

Dear Mrs. Loconte's Blog: Why Can't We Be Friends, Why Can't We Be Friends

Hello my classmates
On this fine Sunday night
After years of blood, sweat, and tears,
I have accessed the blog.
Save your congratulations for Monday, but I'll let you know my success came through perseverance, hard work, and an old gmail account.
Anyways! In class we worked on our totalitarian regime leader projects. The homework that is assigned is reading up until page 75, and do all In Review Questions

RFOTD (random fact of the day):  Voledmortphobia is the fear of having no nose

"But what really is this historical verity in most cases? a lie agreed on..." -Napoléon Bonaparte

Salutations, ladies and a gentleman. 

At this most productive day we, sweating profusely, wrote our first bonus quiz. However, we must keep in mind, despite the grand scale of information available to us, that "Newspapers are not history, any more than bulletins are". In addition to the wonderful testing of our memory, we analysed and discussed the review questions on WWI. 

Your tasks, my friends (yes, some of us are friends!), is to finish what you've started. Remember, that "Each hour wasted in youth is a hazard of misfortune taken for the future."

1. Finish reading WWI
2. Do page 61 Questions 1-6

Remember not to lie to your teacher about not doing your homework. "A lie is useless, because it deceives but once."  

I don't remember who has to do which project, since my mind is set on Mr. Lenin, so if you are responsible for any presentations tomorrow I hope you remember. 

P.S Test on thursday so pack your bags

Victoria's Secret

Today we went over the homework at the end of the first chapter. We covered world superpowers and the changes that occurred within them at the turn of the century. New perspectives (capitalism, liberalism, suffrage, etc) became increasingly accepted as time went on.
