Today we went to the brown room and learned all about an Indian tribe with a senior anthropology class.

Today in class we worked on our research mini project on the sub-saharan and turned in our research papers.

Today in class we took the test on "God Grew Tired of Us" the movie.

Today in class we finished up the movie and worked on our research papers which are due Wendesday.

Today in class we watched the movie. We are almost finished it and discussed it. John became an ambassador of the Lost Boys in the U.S. and they really grew in the culture and in themselves.

Today we... 12-9-09

We watched the movie today again on the Sudan and the lost boys. It is very interesting.

Today in class we watched a movie about the "Lost Boys" in the Sudan. The movie tells their hard battle across many, many miles to stay safe. It is very interesting and I like it.

Today we researched our topic for our research paper. I am working with Bry, put she was not here today so I had to research by myself. I found out that Venezuela has had many rulers in their history and they had a war that gained them independence from Spain.
