Today we went over the final blog topic. The final topic is the War in Afghanistan. I learned that we invaded Afghanistan on October 7,2001. We went to war in Afghanistan because of the 9-11 attacks. Another thing that I learned was that we currently have about 60-65 thousand troops over in Afghanistan. We went to Afghanistan because the Taliban allowed Al-Qaeda to train terrrorists in their country, was another thing that I learned about. In 2004 there was a democratic election in Afghanistan. In 2006 NATO became in charge for the war.These are just some things that have improved in Afghanistan since we have gone to war that I have learned about. Currently the generals are asking for more soldiers because the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are gaining strength. That is the final thing that I learned about the War in Afghanistan.Today we also went over the rubric for the chapter 5-8 rubric. It is basically the same rubric as the last project, but it is worth 100 points. I also learned some things from Mr. Bruns on how to give a successful presentation. One of the things that I learned was to have at least one picture per slide and to speak loudly and confidently. I also learned many more things about giving presentations.
