20th Century History, Tuesday, 6th Period
Daniel is looking bright eyed and bushy tailed at the front of the classroom. This could have to do with the cup of coffee he's protectively craddling.
"Good afternoon," he said. "My name is Dr. Daniel Jackson and this is 20th Century History."
"I don't have an official syllabus; I prefer to keep this relaxed and see where everything takes us. If there's anything in specific you'd like to look at this semester, just let me know.
"To start, I'd like for you all to introduce yourselves and tell me why you decided to take this course. And here's a perfect opportunity to tell me what you'd like to study."
After the introductions were made, Daniel turned to the blackboard.
"Today, I'm going to start with looking at a number of events that happened during the first couple of years and then I'd like you to each pick an event, take a couple of minutes and flesh out a few more details on them. In 1900, there was the Boxer Rebellion in China and in the first of three deaths we're looking at today, Italy's King King Umberto I was assassinated. In academics, Max Planck formulated Quantum Theory and don't worry, I'm not expecting any of you to understand that, and Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams.
"Continuing to 1901, Australia's colonies formed a Federation and the Commonwealth of Australia was formed. 1901 had a couple of firsts; the first Nobel prizes were awarded, and also, the first Trans-Atlantic radio signal was sent. Britain's Queen Victoria died this year, and US President McKinley was assassinated.
"Now. Hopefully one of those events will have interested you and if not, I'm sorry. Just a couple of details on whichever one you chose would be good, and then once you've presented, you're free to go."
