John Green

        Today was our first real class of Western Civilization. First, we were given our new assigned seats. This took a couple minutes, but afterward we settled down and began. We started to discuss last week’s homework assignment. We were to write a couple hundred words on whether or not the first few pages of our textbook does or does not correlate with Jared Diamond’s theory of geographic luck. We did a few brief slides basically summarizing our assignment, and had a very miniature discussion on our opinions as well. Then, we were introduced to a new video series. It is with John Green, hence the title of this blog post being “John Green”.  This series is titled Crash Course In World History. I really loved it. John Green distributes the knowledge in a manner in which regular kids are able to easily understand and enjoy learning. He puts it in such a way where instead of feeling like you are being taught, you feel like you are just generally being informed of what's going on in the world. Hopefully, we continue watching this series.
