Today in class, we got on the computers and continued blog discussions. My topic was Spectator Sports, which was about how in the 1900's, nationwide sports became more of a business than just a hobby. I did discuss mine, right after Jessica (quietly) talked about the creation of airplanes and how they were used in the late 1800's-early 1900's.
Lindsey talked about African Americans in that very same time period. She mentioned how most of them were homeschooled, and some attended black schools, as racial segregation was still very strong in this era. Ally talked about a similar topic, about how blacks wanted a higher education after the civil war, even though they still weren't equal with the whites.
Kylie talked about some education topic of hers from memory, as her internet wasn't working correctly. She talked about how teachers were not allowed to get married or have kids. Farm kids went to school only a few weeks at a time, so they could still be able to work on the farm during the day. Bruns mentioned the three R's of old school education. Reading, (w)Riting, and 'Rithematic.
Nick and Drake each went, talking about their topics, which were in the same section as I. Nick talked about magazines and things, such as that, while Drake spoke of Tennis and Bike-riding. Josh talked about the first skyscrapers, which were much smaller than those of today.
I did some discussions, while taking care of my daily blog. GAUL OUT.
