Well, term
papers have been rolled out and your homework page has been updated for
the next few weeks. This is a tough time of year in many
ways...you've got to keep up with the regular class work while also
spending some time getting research done for your term papers. I
have tried to set some deadlines to help you stay on task. As
well, there will be nights where you only HW is term paper work.
We've got about two weeks left on Africa and we will spend it by
looking at Africa post independence. There will be some bad and
good to focus on...that being said, the American media tends to focus on
the bad only--we'll try to keep things a bit more balanced.
I'll leave you with a homemade Top Ten:
Top Ten Reasons you
will miss Mr. Booth's Class this summer:
10. No more being called honey or sweetheart if you are a
guy.
9. No more Sammy gnawing on Mr. Bic just slightly
"off" from an overdose of plastic.
8. Euro is just around the corner--you are soon to find out
Mr. B's class was easy (wait 'til the summer read!?!)
7. Without Cohen snorting, sneezing or blowing his nose your
gross out quota drops dangerously low for a person of your age and
level of maturity.
6. Japan once again becomes the land of Godzilla for
you--you can't remember anything "real" about the country like their
gambling problems, bathing habits, etc.
5. Who will replace the strung out caffeinated duo of
Stangler & Waddill?
4. No everyday chances to mock Mr. Booth's grading style
3. Who will teach you big new words this summer like
enculturate, assimilate, decimate, howareyoumate, imaginate, oh wait
that is not a word...
2. No more curt "that's because I never liked you" responses
from Mr. B
1. No more cute funny animal bashings and snow games with
Nanook of the North
