Social Studies. Again.

I do not feel like reviewing for you how stupid my social studies class is (no offense, possible readers from my class, I am fully aware that I am one of you, I just think that you guys r funny)
So, in social studies, (no poop) we started hearing noises from the other side of the dividing wall, where Mr. Shapiro's class was. So, Mr. Montulli decided to go over and tell them to be quiet. In his absence, my class decided to take all of our pencils and throw them at the wall at the same time. We soon did this, but as everything was hitting the wall, Mr. Montulli walked in. We then had to explain why everyone's pencil magically was on the other side of the room. I do not think that he was pleased.
Soon after, we started to throw around the ball answering questions considering our latest unit of study, the Civil War. Two question and their answers stood out:
What machine allowed someone to harvest wheat in the same time as ten men?
The first answer yelled out was, "The Plow!" but was soon followed by, "The Cotton Gin," and after Mr. Montulli prompted us with "Grim...." we started yelling "Its the Grim Reaper" or I think I heard someone yell, "Death!" It turns out that it was the Mechanical Reaper. Go figure.
Before I tell you about the next one, I'll give you a little background info. The Battle of Saratoga was an important battle in the REVOLUTIONARY WAR. Basically, the last two words of that sentence are the most important. Keep them in mind. So, there we were again, playing the study game, and though I am not sure from which question it evolved from, it soon became something to yell out when you don't know the answer. Mr. Montulli wasn't exactly thrilled.
