Duck and Cover

Today in class, we started off by looking at the website on the countries again. We had some classmates go up and talk about some of the countries hey looked at and show us some facts. We looked at the U.S and we also looked Antarctica . We learned that Syria is at the bottom of the list and thousands of people are leaving there and going to Lebanon which was at the top of the list. So many people are leaving Syria that is has a negative number next to it. After we did that, we talked about how when Mr. Schick was younger, they used to do drills incase another country bombed them. The had to go in the basement of the school and sit silently while they were curled in a ball covering their heads. He told us that people used to be terrified of it and they didn't even know if it was a drill or not sometimes. To end class, he showed us a video that was called "Duck and Cover" about those drills. It told you to duck and cover and if you did that you would be safe. If you were outside you had to get to the nearest building or duck down against a curb. We thought it looked sort of funny but it wasn't back then.
