  1. Howdy. It is Tuesday and Thursday of this week Is
  2. your last their school before spring break.
  3. Wow. Incredible.
  4. Um, as I'm reading through your research papers over the
  5. Cold War, I was thinking to myself, you know, what
  6. else could you guys do?
  7. And I thought, How about they write again?
  8. So what you're gonna be doing today and tomorrow, leading
  9. you up to spring break, is there gonna be writing
  10. about a country?
  11. All right, so I want you to pick any country
  12. in the world and, yes, shame Czechoslovakia is not an
  13. option, because it's no longer a country.
  14. You can choose Czech Republic or Slovakia, but it has
  15. to be a country that is currently a country right
  16. now. Okay, So looking at these countries, any country in
  17. the world Wow, Look, there's so many options, you could
  18. pick something like Canada.
  19. Okay. I mean, it's right next to us yet I
  20. don't think a lot of you know much about it,
  21. or you could pick something like risotto in Africa because
  22. chances are 90%.
  23. You never even heard of risotto.
  24. Or maybe I slam because your basic and it's a
  25. cool country.
  26. Or maybe you want to know more about Mother Russia?
  27. I don't care.
  28. I just want you to pick country any country, you
  29. all of the opportunities in the world.
  30. I just want you with your creative freedom to pick
  31. a country and tell me why you want to learn
  32. more about that country.
  33. Okay, I know you're super excited to be writing another
  34. paper, but I want to point out that this paper
  35. is only 200 words.
  36. Okay, So your research paper, on average was like 808
  37. 150 words.
  38. This is only 200.
  39. That's a lot easier.
  40. Okay, so you shouldn't have to stress too much.
  41. And plus you, Ryan, this paper is dictating what we're
  42. gonna be learning in class.
  43. Okay, so whatever paper, whatever country is picked the most
  44. by you, that is the country that I'll make a
  45. whole president.
  46. OK, now, in order to reach is 200 words, you're
  47. going to have to explain why you won't learn by
  48. the country.
  49. You can't just say I want to learn about Italy
  50. because I like pasta.
  51. Okay. If you want to learn about it'll because you
  52. like pasta, that's fine.
  53. But you have to explain yourself.
  54. Okay? I am just deeply inspired by pasta.
  55. Olive garden is by far my favorite restaurant.
  56. But is olive garden a true representation of Italy?
  57. I think if we learn more about Italy, I would
  58. have a better understanding on just how fake Olive garden
  59. is when it comes to representing Italy.
  60. Or maybe, Hey, I want to learn more about Italy
  61. because they're going through the Corona virus just a little
  62. bit before us.
  63. And so they just kind of got me interested in
  64. their history.
  65. Okay, so there's a multitude of reasons why you want
  66. learn about a country.
  67. You just have to really explain yourself.
  68. You can't just say I want to learn about it
  69. because of this.
  70. If you say you wanna learn about it because of
  71. something, you need to put in a lot more detail
  72. explaining that.
  73. Okay? I have faith in you that you can do
  74. this. Okay?
  75. Like I said, I will go into more death over
  76. whatever country is picked.
  77. Okay, So really, you're picking what the next lesson's gonna
  78. be and I'm assigned this today.

  83. when this is juicy of two full days to work
  84. on this.
  85. And then Thursday, we'll have something easy to send you
  86. off into spring break.
  87. I'll read over those during spring break, and then the
  88. first lesson will come back to once you're back from
  89. break will be whatever country was picked.

  103. sophomores. You can figure out how to write 200 words,
  104. and it's about something that you want to learn.
  105. All right.
  106. So you should have some motivation.
  107. It is something you are choosing what to write about.
  108. So 200 words should be easy.
  109. Just explain yourself.
  110. Don't give me weeks us.
  111. Explain yourself.
  112. All right.
