Class Summary 11/14/12- 11/15/12

On Wednesday in class we learned about the Missouri Compromise by taking notes. We then received papers about the Mexican war, where the Americans fought them. We were then given a sheet to fill out based on the readings. The different excerpts included information on the date, the president, the mexican leader, and other important people. After we filled out the sheet, we discussed what we concluded from the readings and how they related. To give us a summary of what we just read and answered questions about we watched a video and then took a quick true or false quiz on what we learned. Today in class we talked about California and the new states that wanted to join are union and how we personally believed we should handle them. They could become a half state ( Based on the 36 30 line), a slave state, or a free state. Mr. Boyle then took a tally on what everyone thought should have been done. Oh and on a side note so far I have been doing pretty good with my running and I can tell that I am starting to build up my stamina!
