In class yesterday, we spent time sharing our summarized bits of the declaration. It wasn't much and didn't take too long. After that, we discussed the questions at the bottom of the sheet, which were fairly self-explanatory, but interesting points nonetheless. Especially the one about slavery; just because the founding fathers were all owned slaves, does that make their word about every man being equal invalid? Definitly something to think about.
Today in class, we had a substitute. When we arrived in class we were handed a massive packet about a random battle and then told we had to write an essay about it by the end of the period. The packet itself was a massive essay and the substitute said it had taken her more than an hour to read, and she spent a good twenty minutes or so just talking at the beginning of class, and then continued to interject while we were trying to concentrate, resulting in a very stressful class and poor essays. I understood none of the essay because I was trying to speed read and wound up quickly writing out the saddest 5-paragraph essay I have ever written in an attempt to get something in on time.
