On the sixth of December in Social Studies Mr.Hetherington handed back our tests. In our class most people got high scores, but some people didn’t show the true length of the Sahara Desert. Our homework from the night before was to finish our study guide questions on Libya. Instead of just correcting our answer we had a Socratic Circle on Libya. The first group made points about Libya used to having been involved with terrorism but recently pledged not to and also talked about why they thought Libya might have been involved with terrorism. The second group discussed how people get there water supply in the dessert (they get it from oasis’s and piping the government put in) and also discussed that the government may get money from exporting things but the dictator can do whatever he wants to with that money.
