I think I should get a 89 because I think I contributed to the class and said what I thought.


Mr Schick I think your class is fun and interesting. history has always been my favorite class I am really in to business, fiance and marketing and when we talked about china that was really fun. honestly I cant think of anyway you could change in this class it was.

so today in class we kept watching a video about china because china has lot of people this means  they have less people that have jobs and this creates labor they will do labor jobs cheep ($2-$3). This means a lot of companies ship there jobs over seas because they can make lots of money also they will do things like go though old broken buildings and collect the things that they can sell and reuse but Americans wont do that we just dump it all in a dump or a landfill. this is becoming a problem because more and more people are getting laid of and its like a ripple effect if more people lose jobs they will not spend money at other stores so that store is making less money so they lay of more people and its a chain reaction.

today in class we talked about the new speaker that might come and how we have to ask him question and we get points if we do but i cant think of any questions like at all its so hard maybe it would be easier if i hear him tell about his story. o well. still have not gotten back essay the 200 point one kinda scared. but we talked about how china is getting all the  jobs and we are sending jobs over seas you would figure the government would just cut off sending jobs over there o well. that was class
