Special Guest: NAPOLEON BONAPARTE! Today, Mr. P. dressed up as Napoleon Bonaparte and spoke in a French accent for the lesson, occasionally throwing in a French word.
And, today Period 5 officially has a stoke broker! Good job Bryant!
In stock news, Period 2 crashed to the ground and went bankrupt, while we rose by several points! :)
At 1:06 we began talking about Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and his desire to block the British trade route to India by denying them access to the Suez Canal. Mr. P. used several rows of three students and a box of crumpled pieces of paper to demonstrate Napoleon's genius battle idea. By making the equivalent of a machine gun that could shoot in all directions at one, Napoleon won the battle in only one hour and lost 30 French soldiers while the Arabs lost 5-6 thousand soldiers!
At 1:25 we talked about the Rosetta stone and how there were three different languages on it. The three languages were the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Greek, and Arabic.
At 1:38 "Mr. P. eats a carrot" (Dylan Han) then slams a stick to help explain the "carrots and sticks" method Napoleon used to rule his citizens.
Later we learned about Napoleon taking complete control, even over the pope, and becoming king.
Don't forget to do the first ten vocabulary definitions before tomorrow!
