Class Summary 11/2/12 and 11/5/12

In both History and English for the past couple of days we have been on the topic of slavery. I like learning and talking about slavery because although the subject is depressing I find it quite interesting. I also like being able to learn the facts about it in History and then discuss our personal views on it in English. On Friday in History we read accounts of children slaves, learning about how they were treated, really getting a chance to see what slavery was like first hand.Today we spent the class comparing the two different experiences the slaves we read about had. We concluded that due to all of the similar accounts of slavery and the harsh treatments afflicted upon the slaves it not only existed brutally, it was very common, and although we don't always want to believe it, slavery still exists today. We then were assigned a person in our group to read about. After gathering facts about each person we split up our groups and learned about the other people we were not assigned. Oh and on a side-note my thirty day challenge has been off to a good start, today I went on a run when I got home.
