The Jerk

Well, we will give this a try again. I really don't know why I didn't do this last nine weeks but I'll attempt it with you guys. If this is the most homework you guys receive you really shouldn't have any complaints. So, we are through with our first week of class. How do you think it is going so far? My first period claims that I am a jerk but I don't think that's the case. We took a couple of days to play the survival game last week. Do you see the significance of that activity as it relates to our class? What are some things you learned or at least thought about pertaining to government through this game? Was it a complete waste of time? I hope I have made my point regarding the importance of government through this activity. Anyway, I look forward to a great nine weeks and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Czar out!

P.S. Some of my favorite quotes from the past week!

• "We should do this activity outside to make it more realistic" -Moses Greene
• "...at least our pockets will be purified" - not sure who said it!
• "Who is the weakest link, they have to be up front?" -Andrea Keesecker laying down the law in first period
• "Let's just get drunk and catch stuff on fire!" -someone from 2nd block coming up with ideas for the rum and the matches.
• "Bear Grilles dug a hole...in the snow!" -another 2nd block quote
• "Raise your hand if you love Jesus!" -Damien Goforth trying to get people to vote with him. It was pretty slick.
• "We need to ditch the matches and just snuggle." -a suggestion from someone in 3rd block.
• "It's only a fifth....and I'm not sharing!" -not sure who, but third block once again.
• "I'm trying to get point....I'm just making noise!" -at least Michelle Bunting is honest!
• "Do fish come to maple syrup?" -a mind boggling question from my 3rd block, I think it was Taylor Pruitt.
• "Start a giant forest fire...people will come." -Brandon Marquis' suggestion for getting rescued.
• "What are we going to do with a razor, shave a bear?" -3rd block, unknown.
• "They aren't Jesus snowshoes...you can't walk on water." -a nice observation from someone in 3rd block.
