This past year in history class it's been difficult, some of the assignments Mr. Malanga gives to us isn't a piece of a cake. I enjoy this class sometimes but most of the time it's work, work, work. I know that's what school is about but we never have any kind of fun. We mostly take long notes but it's also very helpful for us and a good resource. Malanga mostly gives us PowerPoint assignments and it will be due in class or either the next day. The most interesting topic in history class was learning about the Cold War. He recently gave us a research paper based on it and after we learned about it.
It was helpful because if though the class wrote a paper about it, it was good to learn more stuff I didn't know. The things I found challenging was the research paper I mentioned. It was very difficult for me to write 4 pages about the Nuclear Arms Race based on the Cold War because i didn't know anything about it. Expanding paragraphs to make it another page was stressful. A lot of the sentences wasn't making sense but I needed to be done with that difficult paper. I enjoyed during some projects like the pirate movie, that was interesting but working with stinky clay wasn't. We had to make a pirate movie like Captain Morgan, Blackbeard, and etc.

This assignment is about us going on this website and Mr. Malanga given us a person to talk about it. He gave us a list of Jewish Names and going on the website and describing the person. My person name was Rosa, and she had went into a domestic service in Vienna. I chose this assignment because it was kind of easy and we had the website with the information already for us to plug in and talk about.

This assignment is about explaining what Glasnost and Perestroika is and defining what it meant. Also saying how it relates to the Cold War and how did it end the Cold War. This assignment wasn't easy because Google searching for information on these words, and given to have so much sites to choose from. I didn't know what was right or what sounded right regarding to the words. I never even heard of those words and our research paper was about the Cold War as well.
