US History (Wednesday, April 25, 7th period)
"Here it is," Josh said, handing out the exam, "the last time you have to remember US history for the year." He smiled. "It's been a pleasure teaching all of you. I look forward to seeing you back next year. Except for you seniors--because if you're back, that means you've flunked this test and that would be bad."
1. Columbus. Why was he such a big deal? If you were finding a new land, what would you do differently?
2. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Prove to me that you know what they are.
3. 1215, 1492, 1607, 1776, 1861, 1945, 2001. Why are these years important to know? And no, one of them is not the year I was born.
4. Based on what you learned in class this semester, who do you think was the most influential President of the United States?
5. We've talked about many, many battles. Pick one, prove to me you were paying attention.
EC: If I were to say that the overarching theme of American history is "it seemed like a good idea at the time," would you agree or disagree? Why?
[OOC: Answer the questions or handwavey me an idea of how your character did. Entirely up to you!

Re: Sign in (History, April 25)
Columbus, Ohio is definitely not a big deal. In fact it's pretty boring there, so I can see why you want to find some new land to get away from it.
2. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Prove to me that you know what they are.
They are two really old documents. One of them was in a movie with Nicolas Cage.
3. 1215, 1492, 1607, 1776, 1861, 1945, 2001. Why are these years important to know? And no, one of them is not the year I was born.
They're the years that Detroit won the Stanley cup.

Tricky Dick. He did tricks with his... you know.
5. We've talked about many, many battles. Pick one, prove to me you were paying attention.
Battle of Nicole and Tom over child visitation rights

Agree. Why? Because mostly likely the theme is referring to pie. And pie is good.
