We looked at a before and after picture that showed one of the towns in Japan after the tsunami. mr. bruns commented that it looked like Hiroshima after the war-all flat and dead. it's heartening though to see all of the aid that other countries are sending. my mom said that japan had helped new zealand at one point in their troubles, and now new zealand is returning the favor, sending help that the japanese sent them, even though they still aren't exactly in their best shape after troubles that they have gone through.
We then studied our canada map, which is pretty easy, but we still have to study them. They're really not that hard though. Mr. Bruns is already offering for some people to take it early this week if we want to.
Blog assignment this week is our limited choice. Mine is about the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. sounds pretty interesting. i know why we invaded-because of 9-11. but i think there was another reason, since we stayed there so long. i think bush was just paranoid because i don't think the problem lasted as long as the troops were there. Unfortunately, Obama thought the same thing---he sent 18,000 more soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan last year, then he pulled them out again. i think that is TOTALLY UNECESSARY!!! but there must still be a reason for it because Mr. Wagner would still be here in school instead of off in Afghanistan right now if there wasn't.
Nate's and Ben's blog discussions were about the history of Afghanistan.
We then talked about my blog about 9/11.
We had to stop because the bell is going to ring.
