5/23 - 5/24 Class Update

Yesterday, we visited the media lab to learn more about United States interests in Latin America. We visited this website and filled out a worksheet with questions like "How many times did the United States send troops to Central America and the Caribbean between the 1890s and the 1930s?" and "What do you think are the reasons the United State sent troops and supervised finances in Central America and the Caribbean?" We also looked at photographs of the Mexican Revolution and made a list of answers for the question "What sort of problems did the revolution appear to cause for the people of Mexico?" After this, we began an activity on US Intervention in Haiti (which will be posted sometime later tonight, since I haven't finished it yet...).

Today, we worked on our Triton 16% Smithsonian Quest badges in the media lab.
