In the beginning of todays class, everyone was drawing stuff for Thanksgiving on the side board. I wrote my name in blue. Then we began to talk an opportunity about extra credit. There is a website called kiva.org where you can donate to specific people so they can start a business or buy animals so they can improve their livestock. For extra credit you have to look at two borrowers and explain it in an essay. For another additional five points you can actually donate to someone. Whats cool about donating is that if you donate to someone that is starting a business they will eventually send you all of your donation money back. And for even more points (total of 15) if my class donates a higher percentage then the honors class we get five more points. But, if they get the higher percentage then they get the five points. So, if you decide to do both the essay and donate you will receive ten extra credit points regardless.

In todays class we continued to go over the world leaders and took some notes on key points about them. I found it weird that most leaders had a brother that died. It was also weird that in some countries the person with the most power was not the president. It was crazy to me how many tyrants/dictators there are today.
