Tuesday

I had to stay home sick today, and I think I might have missed a lot in history because we had to do the packet over the weekend. I hope I didnt miss too much work!

Today we talked for the whole class about our end of the year project. We each have to make a 8-10 minute long documentary on what it means to be an American. I think that the project itself isn't hard, just time-consuming. But,thankfully we have a schedule and so we'll be forced to not procrastinate.

Today we wrote even more paragraphs about Lincoln, only this time they were about his promises to uphold the laws of the Union. But the big thing today was deciding which history class to take next year, and I'm happy with my placement. I think that learning about the same time period in history as we're studying in english will be helpful, and both will highlight the other to make each easier to understand.

Today we wrote a few paragraphs about how Lincoln connected "liberty to all" to the overall goal of the Union. I think I learned alot from doing this because I had to explain to myself and put into words what I thought Lincoln was trying to convey. In my opinion, Lincoln was exactly right in saying that the Constitution and the Union were both formulated around the similar principle of "liberty to all." Liberty is a common theme of the United States, it is something that every citizen knows we are ensured with, and from that, we can all be confident that we'll be treated fairly.
