Class Summary 12/13/12 - 12/14/12

On Thursday we started class by finishing our discussion about Lincoln and why he wanted the United States to stay a Union. We were then given a document to read with corresponding questions on Lincolns speech. After, we discussed what we read and learned a little more about Lincoln, and how he wouldn't call the seceded south the Confederate States of America because that would mean they were their own country. On Friday we went to the Computer Lab. As we walked into class we were handed a paper that divided us into groups. We were told to go to Mr. Boyle's Wiki, where we came to a blank slide show, each person given a slide which had a question pertaining to their groups subject. They all had the same basic structure, North vs. The South. We were then told this would help give us background information for the essay we have to write by Friday. I personally love going to the computer lab because while we learn we also have a little fun with the group chat and pictures we would put on other peoples slides. (hehehe)
