to the best of my ability with the research I have done. How was James Wolfe able to lead the English forces, which were outnumbered 4 to 1, to victory?

As a child there are many things that grab your attention whether it be games, toys, going outside to play, and also being with your friends. Personally I did all that but there is one thing I would always do and I still do it to this date and that is watching cartoons. The best memories I have from my childhood are mostly cartoon related.

bored. Since his parents had gone on vacation, Alex didn’t have that much to do. Alex liked math and chess, but chess tournaments came up once a month. Recreational chess wasn’t fun because no one would play with him, and ‘recreational math’ was not a thing. He never cared about the newspaper, and frolicking in the playground was gone at age 6. Well, Alex thought, at least there’s going to be a chess tournament this afternoon. Still, life seems boring, and it's not getting better. Nothing's come up

rooted in statistical evidence that learners retain more information by doing rather than by just reading or listening (Salopek,1998). The first simulation, simulating a battle between two nations, was developed more than 1500 years ago – the game of chess (May, 1997). When most people think of a simulation, what they are really envisioning is a simulator – an inhabitable environment such as a flight simulator to train pilots. A simulation doesn’t have to be so complex. It can be a simple set of cards
