We reviewed the western part of the European map. Then we talked about the women rights in Afghanistan, then we discussed women rights in America. We read an article about a girl in Afghanistan getting beheaded by her mother in law. After that we watched a video where the prime minister of Australia reads her speech titled, "A Speech Every Woman Should Hear." Then we researched the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009- intended to:
- Create new jobs and save existing ones
- Spur economic activity and invest in long-term growth
- Foster unprecedented levels of accountability and transparency in government spending
The Recovery Act intended to achieve those goals by providing $787 billion in:
- Tax cuts and benefits for millions of working families and businesses
- Funding for entitlement programs, such as unemployment benefits
- Funding for federal contracts, grants and loans
