Yesterday in class, we had another QR code scavenger hunt. This is one of my favorite days because it incorporates the technology with everything that we need to be learning about, making the class period considerably enjoyable. Yesterday was a little different than when we went on a scavenger hunt the first time. We got into groups of 4, so it was easier to "divide and conquer," as Mr. Boyle put it. Now that I have an iPhone, it was even better because I was more involved in the search and also the obtaining of answers. Even though we did not recognize any of the battles that we had to find out about, my group ended up coming in second or third I believe.
Today in class, we read an article about Habeas Corpus. It was interesting because the topic is obviously quite controversial. To put people in jail without real reason or just evidence, or not to? The writ of habeas corpus was a big deal during the Civil War because it meant that Lincoln would have to decide whether or not to be safer than sorry. We had a discussion about if we agreed with it or not based on certain real life situations presented on another paper. It was interesting because it was a question of morality, which is always the best kind of debate.
