Firsthand History- Monday- 1st period

[throughaphase]

It was too late for Kitty to send an email and know the students would get it on time, so she just went ahead and programmed the Danger Shop into being a theater.

"So I spent the weekend as a fourteen-year-old, and I have never been so happy to have the squirrels be slacking or whatever," Kitty greeted them. "So we're going to watch a movie. Some background, since we have people representing different times and places and if you turn on the TV or have a conversation or open up social media you're going to be drowned in news about this sort of thing anyway: here in America, every four years we hold an election to decide who's going to lead the country. Richard Nixon was our 36th president, a Republican from California who served from 1969-1974 after serving as vice president for eight years under Eisenhower. Without spoiling anything for those of you who are new to this, let's just say it didn't end well for him, and he's why every scandal to this date ends in -gate. So take in the movie, and if you fall asleep I get to wake you up and embarrass you."

Listen to the lecture

You might learn a thing in like two minutes of speaking, who knows.

Watch the movie

[throughaphase]

Or talk or pass notes.

But seriously if you fall asleep Kitty will drop a book next to your head.

Khadgar didn't fall asleep because the movie was very interesting--both the story and, you know, the whole concept of a movie on a television. He was easy to please.

Tip did her best to stay awake, but it was tough to care too much about a movie about white men talking about old scandal. It was interesting to see where the whole -gate thing came from, she guessed. She wondered what the media would call it if another scandal happened in or around that hotel.

Re: Watch the movie

[vrajna_kralis]

Yeah, Hyacinthe had no interest in the movie or what they were all talking about with such serious faces or why most of the people cared about what appeared to be a minor break-in. He spent the hour doodling and not paying attention.

Talk to Kitty

Who spent quite a bit of time today flat-ironing her hair after the frizz of the weekend.
