Due to some technical difficulties regarding this website and my computer, this day is uploaded two days late. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
It seems we have a problem with Visigoths, possibly from Period 5, possibly from other periods. Please do not vandalize the classroom. And, please report Visigoths if you know one. If you notice something that has been vandalized, please report it.
Today was a review day, since we have a test the next day. We reviewed the answers to the packet, including talking about Assignment #9 and explaining the left, right, and center of the room regarding politics.
At 1:20, PATRICK HENRY FLEW OFF THE WALL. I guess he wanted to be closer to the front so he could hear better, or he wanted to move to the right or left side of the room, like all of us should. We should start caring about politics and take sides. We can't just let changes happen without having a say about them! We should be more like the Germans, who have many different political parties and the discussions are much more passionate, instead of passive like in America. Germans stand up for their ideas, Americans don't.
At 1:43, we learned that "Jacobins are radicals" (Moira Camacho) and that "Sans-cullottes=Parisian wage earners." (Madison Kane)
As a final thought for the day, Mr. P. had asked us girls in the room if we agreed with the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman" and we had a very weak response. He pointed out that our lack of response is the reason why women are easily overruled. We don't stand up for the rights we deserve, such as equal pay, and we passively let men rule. This has to stop. We have to stand up for ourselves and get the justice we deserve. No more passiveness.

Interesting SWEN article for the day: http://www.nj.com/independentpress/index.ssf/2013/12/watchung_hills_high_school_stu_6.html We should all try our hardest and get AP scholarships like these students!
