Today, we had many shadows in the class, and Faith brought in cookies. We decided to make a food schedule, because honestly the cookies really hit the spot. While Kelsie, Maddie and I were in the back of the room creating our food schedule, in calendar form, our shadows introduced themselves. I had a shadow on Friday, her name is Hannah, and she goes to C. Milton Wright. We used to play lacrosse when we were younger! For her fun fact, she said that she had cancer when she was really young. Everyone in class was so surprised by this, especially me! I would have never guessed that she did or ever had it. Anyways, finally we started class and reviewed questions that could possibly be on an upcoming test, and information that we should definitely know. First is that every place on earth takes up space.

The art and science in making maps is called cartography. There are twenty-four different time zones, and that GPS means global positioning system. Then, we discussed true and false questions, and how you really have to pay attention to the wording so it doesn't trick you.

We learned that Bashar al-Assad does not like his own people and he has ordered a plethora of crackdowns and military sieges on protestors. 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. He also defended Native American rights and he openly welcomed refugees from Syria to become Canadians. Next we discussed Israel. We learned that they have a parliamentary democracy, and their President is Rivlin, and their Prime Minister is Netanyahu. I learned that
