Class 9/21

Today in class we watched a video about our fire drill. Mr. Schick sent us a link to a video and we all watched it for the first 10 minutes of class. We kept on playing it! Then he came around and checked everyone maps that we had to complete a couple days before. I felt like this took a long time too. Also, I felt like he kept getting side tracked, and same with the rest of the class. Then finally, we actually began class. We were talking about places and regions and the difference between the two. Then he gave us our test back. Whenever someone got an A he rang the bell and even when he didn't ring the bell, we all still clapped. I thought that was pretty cool. Then after we all got our tests back we went over the answers and reviewed any questions that we had. Then at last, the bell finally rang.

World Leaders Information continued

In class today we finished up with the rest of the world leaders and their background stories. First, we finished Syria.

What started this for him was that his brother was killed in a car crash, and Bashar's brother was supposed to take their father's reign not Bashar. Next we went more in depth with Canada and their Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They have a federal parliamentary democracy, and constitutional monarchy. Justin as a high-schooler defended Canadian Federalism. Also, after his brother died during a ski trip he started a campaign to support safety in winter sports.
