Isn't that how you feel about this class? I do!
I thought I would try to start writing some blog posts for our class in the hopes that it will make some of you even happier than you already are (Braedyn - is that even possible?). Plus, we can send the link to Hendrik, so he can follow along with the course! Anyway, I know some of you just can't get enough of learning about history, etc. and of course, we are in a rush to study up for the big provincial exam, so maybe if I put some good learnin' materials here, you can get even smarter than you already are. (Again, is that even possible?)
Let's do a test: if you know what any of the following are, please comment (appropriately, Cam and Kyle) with an answer. Here goes:
- Operation Dynamo
- Operation Jubilee
- Operation Overlord
- Operation Barbarossa
Finally, identify the people pictured below:
That's all for now folks! See you tomorrow with the marks done!
