Today, in class, we got on the computers and tried to finish powerpoint presentations, but the internet wasn't working for some people. So instead, we did our blog discussions from a few weeks ago.
Cassie talked about Teddy Roosevelt, whom I was surprised to learn was blind in his left eye. Mr. Bruns showed us a PowerPoint elaborating on the youngest president ever. He was the governor of New York from 1898-1900, and he became Vice President just a year later.
After President McKinley was killed (by the way I learned that all it took to shoot him was to go to shake his hand, but he cleverly hid a gun under a hankerchief), and Roosevelt was in office from 1901-1909. He wrote many history books, and owned a ranch in the Dakota Territory. He was also an avid hunter, and he often went on African Safaris.
Mr. Bruns must have a strong obsession with Teddy Roosevelt, as he talked about him the entire class period. I did not get to present, as did many people.
