This year in US history has been awesome. I have learned so much and have enjoyed every minute of it. I also got to learn more about topics that I already knew about (i.e. slavery, World War) and got to go more in depth on those subjects. My favorite thing about the year would have to be watching movies. It is amazing how much you can learn from films especially when they are historically accurate. My favorite movie would have to be 12 Years a Slave. This is because the movie was so authentic and had so much meaning to it. One of the themes that we talked about this year was empathy. Every movie that we watched made it easier to empathize with so many people living in these different time periods. Putting yourself in their shoes made it really easy to understand what we were learning about.
On our last day of class we watched 13 days. This movie was about the Cuban missile crisis and how JFK and his team tried to solve it. It was a perfect movie to end the year because it ended with a very positive idea to send us in our senior year. This idea is that there is a solution for everything if you work hard enough to find it and trust yourself.
