The Group of Seven (G7) consists of leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US and the European Union (EU). Members are strong, democratic governments and maintain mutually close political, economic, diplomatic, and military relations. This year's annual meeting is happening right now in Hiroshima, Japan. Ukrainian president Zelenskyy is en route to it this morning. It's the farthest he's traveled from Ukraine in over one year. We looked at the history of the G7 and what is on the agenda for this year's meeting.

Lesson Comments
5th period remote class because Cameron left school earlier today. Cameron was 30 min. late for class.
Today we continued working on prepositions, specifically prepositions of place. He completed pages 325- 326 and 327 of the book. Then, he worked on a video about him trying to be the first amateur to win the US golf championship in 93 years for his sports broadcasting class.
The Story Of A Brilliant Mind Who Saw Himself Becoming Destroyer Of The World
Lesson Outline
"Oppenheimer" is a new film coming out this July with the subtitle: "The Story Of A Brilliant Mind Who Saw Himself Becoming Destroyer Of The World." The movie is about the Manhattan Project and J. Robert Oppenheimer, the "father" of the atomic bomb. Its star, Cillian Murphy, says its the best script he's ever read. During the detonation of the atomic bomb at the Trinity Test, Oppenheimer infamously stated, “Now I become Death, the destroyer of worlds,” as the scientist witnessed his historic creation, which led to massive destruction. Today's lesson focused on this WWII era event that changed the course of history. We also viewed a trailer for the movie directed by 5-time Academy Award director Christopher Nolan.
In today's class, we continued on our topic of anatomy and physiology. Cameron continued to work on a quiz that tests the remaining material we learned on the human body. This includes connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and the skeletal system.
According to the World Meteorological Organization, the world is now likely to breach a key climate threshold for the first time within the next five years. The causes are due to a combination of heat-trapping pollution and El Nino. Global temperatures have soared in recent years as the world continues to burn planet-warming fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Between now and 2027, there's a 66% chance that Earth's temperature will climb above 1.5 degrees. There's a 98% likelihood that one of the next five years will be the longest on record as per the WMO. The last 8 years were the warmest on record. We looked at the Paris Agreement re: climate change and discussed how Cameron's generation may make changes to address the world's climate crisis.
