Today, in social studies class, we had done a lot to help each other understand things we weren't sure about. Claire brought up a question that a lot of people needed help to understand on. Claire was probably today's superstar because if it wasn't for her, many of us wouldn't have had the courage to ask more questions and just go on to the next topic without truly understanding it. We reviewed the significance of the Mayflower Compact, General Court, John Winthrob, Squanto, and William Bradford. We cleared many of our questions during just a short period of time in our class.
Later, we got more information on the true story of Squanto. Mr. Armstrong wanted to show us information not in textbooks to show that the textbooks don't tell all the true or right information. It was kind of shocking and amazing to find the reasons why Squanto could speak English and was in the Wampanoug tribe. Eddie brought up a funny thought of how people could die of chicken pox.
He was thinking something crazy and talking about how a high fever made by chicken pox xan kill you.
After all that review, we took THE quiz. We took it on a new internet site called quia. It allows our class to take quizzes on the computer. If there are no short answer questions, we could get our grade right after our quiz was taken. There are some downfalls to this due to some emergency cases that happens during the course of the quiz like your computer connection goes down and closes the site. The quiz was quite easy especially since Mr. Armstrong gave us quite a bit of time to study before our quiz. We were able to get our grades right after our quiz. I am quite happy about my grade.
