Today in class we spent talking about Teddy Roosevelt and the Panama canal. We read part of one of his speeches and filled out this worksheet on it. It was pretty interesting how he had to convince every one that building the canal was a good thing. It was also funny to me how he said that he was the one who started  it, which it was actually the French and the U.S. bought the rights for building it from them... Hmm... Well. It was a pretty interesting class and I liked how the worksheet broke down the speech so we could really think about it and the meaning. So, that was history!
