today in class we watched a Movie about the Mexican war. During the movie we took notes and were able to better undersand what was going on not only in class but what was happening during that time period. At the end of the video we took a 5 question true false quiz which was an open note quiz. I think i did perty good on the quiz but almost half way through the Movie i realized that i should have focused more on the actual movie itself rather than worrying about recording down the content and missing other key parts. I feel like when we take a look at outside sources other than what we learn in class that I better understand things and it helps me connect and peice events in time together.
