US History (Wednesday, February 1, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Josh was still bitching to himself about the State of the Union address when the history class began arriving.

"As promised," he said, passing around papers, "I have a test for you today. I know you're thrilled."

1. What did Christopher Columbus do that was so important?
2. Who was John Smith and why should you care? The John Smith we talked about in class, thanks. Not just any guy named John Smith.
3. Compare and contrast living situations in Virginia and Massachusetts at the time of Jamestown and the Pilgrims.
4. Which of the following states was not one of the original thirteen: Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or South Carolina?
5. What's that 36-word sentence in the Declaration of Independence that's so amazingly quotable?


"Question or concerns that aren't 'what's the answer to number 4?' Ask away."

Shep wanders in and flops down in a seat.

"So," he asks the prof, who seems to be preoccupied the SotU, "What do you think the fall out will be for those who applauded the voting down one of last year's big State of the Union ideas? I mean, I thought it was great, but I can't imagine he did."

"Bush has very little political capital at the moment and absolutely none at all after the midterm elections," Josh said. "Right now I'd say the worse the Democrats could expect to get would be a sternly worded note. If the President expects even one of his bills to pass he needs to worry more about keeping his own party in line--and they didn't vote for his big plan last year either."
