TERM GAME X 2

IT'S BACK!!!!!!

YOU KNOW JUST HOW ADDICTED YOU ARE TO THE GAME!!!  BET YOUR EXCITED!!

This time around, you are allowed to use ANY TERM found in APUSH - beginning to end!!

To make this interesting.... the WINNER gets a bonus 100 as a Unit Exam score!!!! (extra and does not excuse you from your final unit exam that is coming up!!!)  The one that post the most is the winner!! Plan and simple.  All you need is two people to get the ball rolling.  Don't forget the rules!!! If you break them, you lose points!!  Remember to keep hitting refresh so you are sure you are answering to the last post!  The game officially ends at midnight Friday!!!!

REMINDER:
Dealing with X, Y, and Z words.  True, there aren't many of these in your APUSH historical terms, but to make the game interesting - when you get to any of these three letters, you must use any that does exist.  If there are no more words that begin with X, Y, or Z (x & z will be the hardest), then you can declare a "SKIP" and move to the next letter.  WARNING:  if the person responding to your next letter finds a word that has not be used - then they can declare a FOUL and YOU (the one that declared the "SKIP" will lose point.

ALSO.... Last time some of you tried to skirt around the rules!!! If you use "Alexander Hamilton" as your "A" word, NO ONE can use "Hamilton, Alexander" as their "H" word.  Once the word has been used, in ANY FORM, it cannot be reused!!!

BTW - when you reach the end of the alphabet - you know... you just start over from the beginning!

GOOD LUCK!!!!

  11. Hey Mr. Gehm, I'm sorry that this is a little late but better now than never. Christopher Columbus is personally one of my biggest heroes, he didn't commit genocide, he didn't assault or rape any indians, and he most certainly wasn't rude to any natives. I love him!!!!!

  12. UMM ACTUALLY Oscar, I think your comments were highly insensitive and inappropriate. This is indicative of the misogynistic and racist patriarchy we know reside in today and it's a meta commentary on the injustice in this world. Columbus is the bottom of human evolution and so are you! I'm actually .00065% Native American so your statements are highly offensive to me and my family. Columbus Day should be abolished like your life.

    1. Honestly Brandon, I used to think the lowest of you, but this comment has brought your irrelevancy to new heights. I am profoundly impacted by your consistent display of exponential stupidity, and sometimes feel that the US really should have finished the job in Vietnam. Christopher Columbus is and always will be the king of exploration. He's a wonderful man with 0 flaws, and an example of what you should try to be, Brandon. But of course, you will never be able to change the fact that your time spent in existence will forever prove to be the most insignificant of all billions of human beings to come before and after you.
