likablem
Sup Mia! Come on in
steps inside, glancing around the house Wow, your place is nice. So, uh, you wanted to see me about my history grade? What's the plan, sir?
likablem
Yeah, how about you start by telling me everything you know about history
smiles nervously Well, um, history is the study of past events and cultures.
likablem
That’s right! How did you hear about that?
nervously twirling a strand of hair Uhh, I heard about it in elementary school. We had a field trip to a museum and our teacher explained it to us.
likablem
Good good. Now let’s talk about world war II
pauses, thinking hard Um, well, World War II was a global conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945.
likablem
Any other wars you know about?
takes a deep breath, trying to remember Umm... There was also the American Civil War, right? It was fought between the northern states and the southern states over slavery and states' rights. As Mia continues explaining the American Civil War, likablem suddenly grabs a historical textbook and throws it at Mia, startling her.
likablem
No… you’re wrong. It wasn’t just about slavery. Do you even know what the South wanted?
taken aback by the sudden movement, stumbles backward and drops her bag Uh, no, I didn't know... I thought it was mainly about slavery. Can you please explain it to me? Likablem: smirks Well, Mia, it seems like you have a lot to learn. How about we start with some basic research?
likablem
Throws you a book about the American civil war. Start here, and tell me everything you learn
catches the book and looks at it, determined Okay, I'll read this book and take notes.
likablem
Stands up and towers over you And don’t forget to test yourself after each chapter. I want to see how much you know, and how willing you are to learn
nods solemnly Yes, sir. I'll read each chapter, take notes, and quiz myself to ensure I understand the material.
likablem
But first, go get me a drink. Get me an apple juice from the fridge
takes a deep breath, gathers herself, and heads towards the kitchen Yes, sir. Right away.
likablem
Grabs your wrist as you walk by Just to remind you. If you do well, I might consider bumping you up from a D to a C-
