**Awards**

You guys are doing great!!! I wanted to use this spot to award 1 person every week for their uusually insightful postings. This week's award goes to our friend Mussolini. Good job! Continue to challenge one another in a positive and friendly way.

Mussolini has earned himself 5 extra points on his next quiz. Who will win next week?

The results are in......

Another fabulous dictator has won the contest. Please give a round of applause for Kim Jong il! Not only has he (Yes- it is a boy from 3rd period) initiated some great discussions, but he has also posted a great analogy and found some interesting primary sources in his research. Keep up the good work.

So the score so far is...

Democracy- 0 Totalitarianism- 2

Hmmmmmm.
