Picture of the Day!!

Yesterday I cannot remember what we did in class. Today, for those of you who are actually reading this, we talked about Lincoln and Douglass. We discussed what their views were on certain topics such as slavery and found that in one of the debates that they had Lincoln put Douglass in a bad place. We saw that Douglas wouldn't tell the people exactly what side he was on, weather he was pro slavery or if he didn't want slavery he just went around the question with out really answering what his views were.

Yesterday in class we talked about the unorganized territory and how an man by the name of Brown was important in all of it. I can't really remember the whole thing but that is what I remember. Today we had a half day so there was no class.

Today and Friday of class we have been reading and talking about Uncle Tom's Cabin. On Friday we spent the class period reading this story about the slave named Eliza who escapes from the slave owners. I have to be honest here it was a very dull chapter that we had to read but it was interesting even though it was extremely boring. Today we talked about what happened in the story.

The last two days in class we talked about the Mexican war. We learned a lot about the causes of it and what was going on that caused issues between Mexico and America\. Today in class we watched a movie about what happened leading up to the war and other things that were going on around the same time as the dispute between land. 

In other news the 30 day trial is going well I take a picture and then I remember what I did that day which is good because normally I'm not good at remembering what I did earlier in the day. So this is the picture I took today..... I will be posting it in a second.

You can now comment on this post sorry to those who tried and couldn't comment!

The last two days in class we took a look at 10 different textbook versions of the Underground Railroad. We saw that in many of them they talked about Harriet Tubman and her contribution to the underground railroad. Today we went to the computer lab and looked at a map and saw that in some states in the south during the 1820 s the slaves were the majority of the people.

30 day trial

Today was a by cold day so it was tough to go out and go for a bike ride but I did take some pictures today and I will post them in a second. It's turning out to be a very fun project.

Today we got the first snow :) I took this photo when I woke up this morning. Also it was taken with my phone so its not the best quality.Today we also took notes on a power point about slavery and the underground railroad. At the beginning of the class we finished answering questions about a reading that we do the day before. And this is a picture of my puppy :D Isn't he just the cutest thing in the world :D

I took these pictures when I got home today. So far with my 30 day trial thing I'm doing good. I have taken two pictures...only 28 more to go :) I think so far this is turning out to be a very interesting assignment and I'm really enjoying it as of right now. That may be subject to change in the near future. And I did take both pictures just so you know.

On Friday before we left class we watched a Ted talks video. This video talked about giving up something for 30 days or doing something for 30 days. We were then told that we are to do something for 30 days. I am planing on eating healthier. I am also going to try and take a picture everyday. I will post the pictures that I take one every day. Also one of the things that I want to do for 30 days is I want to try and go for a bike ride everyday. So each day I am going to blog what I did that day and how everything is going:).
