Wednesday Blog

On Wednesday we had a fun class while continuing the movie we started about The People’s Republic of China. Some of us learned a little bit more about China and the US and its relationship. For the first part of class we talked about China and Mr. Schick answered questions that some of us had. After we finished the talking we started watching the movie again and paused about every 2-3 minutes to talk about what just happened. Sadly since we would talk for so long we didn't get very far in the movie. So far I like the movie but I wish we could see more of it during class. Thanks for the movie I think we all can learn a lot from this and my views of the economy will change once we finish it.

11/14/12

Today in class we discussed what was happening in Texas and how some people in the state want to secede from the US. After this I then told some facts about the state and how the government would have to take so many different things out of it. Then Mr. Schick told us more facts about how if they secede then they would have to create their own military and have more problems if they did secede then if they stayed in the union. After this we learned about the project we needed to do over the weekend. The funniest part of going over what we had to do for the project was when Matt asked if we had to spell words right. By the time he was done we all were laughing and I told him “you have Microsoft Word on your computer.” Can’t wait for next class see you soon Mr. Schick.
