US History (Monday, April 24, 7th period)

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Today is the last US History class you'll have to endure before your final exam on Wednesday," Josh said. "Which means we have only about, oh, fifty years of history to cover."

He grinned and pressed play on the CD player on his desk.

"Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray..."

When the song was over, he turned to the class. "Okay, any questions about some of the historical events and people Billy Joel was referencing? Or about the final? Last chance to bug me before you get the big test."

Listen to the song

What? Like this wasn't how you learned 20th Century history.

Blair listened to the song, singing along with the chorus quietly.

Veronica totally sang along and tapped her foot in time with the music.

Cally listens.

Cally gets... oh, about four of the references.

Lana listens, swaying a little and jotting down little notes here and there.

Quinn looks at everyone else funny.

Questions?

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

About the events mentioned? About the test? About prom from your other classmates?

Re: Questions?

Cally raises a hand. "Is there a guide to the song? Cause... I didn't get, erm... most of it."

Re: Questions?

Josh smiled and handed her a cheat sheet (http://www.teacheroz.com/fire.htm). "Of course," he said. "Big ones to know? Kennedy, Watergate, North & South Korea, airline hijackings in the 80s, and the U2 being shot down over the Soviet Union."

He paused. "The airplane, not the band."

Re: Questions?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"There's a band?" Cally says. "Erm, don't bother answering that."
