What are you learning in social studies and do you have any questions?
February 112010
If so, I’d be happy to give you resources or clarify anything for you. I just finished writing lesson plans and my shower, so I have some time to kill. Also, I can’t go anywhere it’s a snowstorm outside.
I LOVE ancient Egypt (Kemet). Have fun with that!
Ok mystere…btw that is 1 hell of an awesome avatar.
Revolutionary War: Did you know the Germans (Hessians) played a role in it? Are you learning the contribution that African Americans made to it? Also, try to get the British ptv on it too : )
Just Dance: That would be annoying. I would try to remember more of what went on during each king’s reign rather than the specific dates. For ex, in 1066 Guillaume the Conqueror of France invaded England, and many French elite followed, influencing the English medieval language. It’s more important to know what happened in England in that era than to memorize exact dates.
Emily: Interesting. You might not know but you are also learning about Gay culture/contribution. Michelangelo, Donatello, Da Vinci, and more were homosexual. The Italian Renaissance was also the time of secret societies. You can find interesting facts at the HistoryChannel.com
Narcissa: It’s a weaning process when it comes to the Iraq War. The government *feels* that taking all soldiers out at 1 time would be detrimental. It’s not proven fact, just a feeling. You can read TIME magazine to find more out about that.
Did you know Stalin killed more people than Hitler?
It is a belief that we (Americans) went to Vietnam b/c the US government wanted to ignore the problem of equality (esp equality for African Americans). A sort of smoke and mirrors if you will. This is 1 side of the story, there are many. Feel free to pick up PBS documentaries at your library.
Band Geek: which country? I’m guessing England
I am entirely finished with my history classes. Forever. But I am quite interested in the workings of Communism, the ideals of Karl Marx, and the Cuban Revolution. Also, the relationships between Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.
And, why exactly did we intervene in Vietnam? I don’t see why those countries falling to Communism would have affected America’s economy besides us losing a few resources? Surely we are not that greedy. Oh, and why we have not pulled out of the Iraqi War by now.

We are doing a unit on Ancient Egypt and the civilization then. I think I am okay, I don’t really have any questions because I was just studying for the quiz on Friday.

I’m in World History and we’re learning about monarchs. It’s so annoying to remember them! They all have the same names- Charles I, Charles II, James I, Philip I, Philip II
