As far as U.S. history has gone so far, I'd say it's going to be a really entertaining yet also challenging way of learning about the origins of this country. This awesome style of learning integration is in my opinion incredibly effective, as well as increasingly rare, especially the farther I go through high school. It's due to this that I'm really holding a lot of faith and excitement for the rest of this course. Even though we've really only gone over basic background knowledge regarding the American Revolution, I still think I've learned plenty about Europe pre North America colonization, and also what helped contribute to the establishments of the colonies. As a side note, I really enjoyed the first day when we each chose a quote about history ad analyzed it, because it helped put down a solid level of respect for the content that we're only just delving into. Also because I got George Orwell's quote, and he's a really radical guy who I liked anyways. I'm very much looking forward to making my U.S. history book a lasting representation of my learning, and especially because I know for a fact it's going to be really interesting, diverse, and broadly encompassing of a lot of highly important historical happenings and facts and such. I really hope I can get a better, more firm grasp of time too, because since all of what we're learning about it so long ago, and that kind of thing is really difficult for me to wrap my minds around.
