Today we had our Daily Announcements. I guess we are now getting back into the routine of having announcements at the very beginning of class. We learned that "our stock is very high." (Matthew Grodin) We are successfully remaining in the thirties; let's keep this up guys!
At 1:09, we got some new assignments and started reviewing the map at 1: 12. Kent, Speaker of the Council, was called to the front to teach. Apparently Ivan was supposed to have taught, but since he was absent, our second-in-command had to step in. He did a great job; efficient and clear.
At 1:21, we learned that the "kings of Germany, England, and Russia are [first] cousins." (Lauren Nuchols) To them, World War I started out as a mere game, like one of chess. They were at competition with each other and couldn't care less how many people died. To them, their people are merely pawns in a game. It's sickening.
At 1:25, we worked on vocabulary, which is the yellow packet. We learned that the acronym M.A.I.N. stands for Militarism, Alliance, Imperialism, and Nationalism.
Later, we started going over the blue sheet with the powder keg on one side and the dominoes on the other. This worksheet is supposed to be done by tomorrow, along with the rest of the 1-5 assignments. Don't forget to read from the textbook too!
