Today in class we talked about some of the facts we put into our blogs last night about the leaders. One of my facts was that Vladimir Putin was a black belt in judo. We discussed him and what other things that single fact meant. Apparently, he likes to be known as a very strong leader for his country so he does things to make him look very strong to intimidate the opposing countries. He likes having pictures taken of himself doing "strong" things like riding a horse with his shirt off, swimming, lifting, and doing karate. A lot of small facts from each person can tell a lot about themselves and their background.
