Yesterday in class we got into groups and completed a packet and then went over it as a group. Today we looked at some poems that talked about the south and the north and how the south was harsh and it was unfair to African Americans and how the north was kinder than the south. Then we listened to four pieces of music and looked at some art that was created by African Americans who left the south and went to the north during the period of time known as the great migration.

We had vacation last week so I don't really know what exactly we did the last class but today we started to talk about the new section that we are going to be doing. We are moving into the civil rights section. At the beginning of the class we had just come from an assembly and we talked a little bit about it. 

The last two days in class we have just talked about what we are going to be doing for our projects. We draw a picture explaining whether or not Reconstruction was successful. We draw images on the board and then we video tape it and speed it up so that it looks like you are drawing really really fast. Then you tape your voice over it talking so as you speed the video up you are talking at the same time. This is too hard to try and explain so forget it it’s an RSA Animate-style product.

Also happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow everyone!!! :)

The last two days in class we have taken notes on a power point. Today we talked about a project that is going to be due next week which is going to be fun... I hope and we watched a short clip about it. I honestly don't know exactly what happened in class except that we took notes and talked about the project that is going to be due on Monday of next week.

I forgot to blog on Friday so I'm going to do that now. On Friday we read a document I think I can't really remember that well but I know it was about a dead president who never went to school and he was impeached but wasn't kicked out of office. He took over for Lincoln when he was killed.
