    I would like to learn more 9/11 about the twin towers, because when I was little I only heard about one of the towers getting crashed in. I would also be interested in learning more about Egypt. I would be interested in learning more about Africa american history because I always have a bad understanding. Overall I would like to learn anything you are willing to teach because I really like learning about history and their important events.

    I would like to learn about ancient Roman and Greek history. It would be interesting to learn about ancient Egypt and middle eastern history and politics. Some interesting people I would like to learn about would be Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Xerxes I.
    Honestly, if you can teach something and make it interesting and fun, I would be fine with that.

    Things that interest me about social studies or history in general is all the things that we get to hear about our ancestors. I would be more interested if we could learn more about the people and not about things. I want to know what the people went through back then and how they felt. Everything that is happening now we can kind of compare it to our history.

    I am interested in many things about history but I really enjoy learning about different cultures and countries. The lessons that I’ve learned in school give me a broader view of the world and allow me to understand people more. I never seriously criticize any culture or belief. I actually sit down and wonder how the life style is and try to look at life from their eyes. I also enjoy learning about different places and landmarks around the world.

    - I like history a lot. I think there is much to know about it. I feel as though if you don't know your history your bound to repeat it. American History has my interest the most because I get to learn much about my country and how we came to be. I'm glad to know that we are learning about Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 because I was alive when this all took place. I didn't understand what was going on back then because i was younger but now i know the significance. So far I'm pleased with everything we are learning so far!

    During the tragic accident on September 11, 2001 I was a young girl and it did not really efffect me. But as I got older I started to realize all of the pain that it has caused many people. I remember in 8th grade I remember my teacher showing a video and I looked up at her and she was crying and that is when I realized that this was serious. This year watching watching the families talk on TV it was hard to watch because I can not imagine being going through the pain that they have gone through. Every year 9/11 will always be remembered and the heroes that died saving others will never be forgotten.

    i would like to learn more about 9/11 because i dont know much about it. anything could happen today that could be the same as this and i wouldnt even know what to do. it is better to be informed about your world the not to be at all. some people may go their whole life without knowing what really happened on 9/11. it is important that we all know what happened so that we can all protect ourselves in the best way possible. its good to know what happened to your American people.

    I would like to learn about the main reason of what caused 9/11. I also would like to learn about how to trace back my ancestors and be able to see what actions they carried while they were alive. I want to know more about president Barack obama and how he is handling health care and other situations. Its important for us to know about the world around us because were living this life.

    I would like to learn more about other countries history and to know about the USA's their losses. Also I want to know about how the USA was involved in other countries and how we supported cruel dictators. Going on the Philly trip, didn't really help me learn more about the constitution and political ways. I say this because the group I was in wasn't very organized and I knew most off the things that were said.
