Why We SHOULD Care About Africa

I think we should care about Africa just as much as we care about all the other continents. It is part of this world isn't it? Africa is just as important to the world as anyone else. It gives us crops, animals, people, just like all the other places around it. If we didn't have Africa, we would realize how important it is to the world. There is so many people on this planet that have some African descent, and people make the world what it is. It's not like Africa doesn't give to the world. It gives so many animals to the rest of the world, so much knowledge about the rest of the world. If we don't care about the problems and issues in Africa will soon not be able to move on, evolve really. Every single place can make a difference, every person can make a difference, so Africa can make a difference.

Welcome to World History

This is my/your/our blog. We will use it throughout the fall and hopefully in the winter and spring as well to post things of interest, have online discussions, and generally enhance the World History experience. The only real rule of this blog is that you be respectful of everyone and their ideas; if you stick to that simple rule, trouble will not find you.

Remember that not only will your classmates and I be reading what you write regularly, but it is also available to anyone in the world who has an internet connection.

So your first blog assignment is to use the comment section below to tell the class about one thing that you accomplished this summer. I like to think I accomplished quite a bit this summer, but the one thing that sticks out is that I learned how to use a chainsaw and took down a bunch of trees on our property ... good times. Looking forward to hearing what you all accomplished!
