test day

Today in class we took the unit test on Rome and I think that I did pretty well on it, the test was also open blog so that make me think that I did pretty good as well. I knew most of the things that I got tested on but I didn’t know some but I found the answers in my blog. After the test, we read section 3 pages 168-172 “The Rise of Christianity”, section 4 pages 173-177 “The Fall of the Roman Empire”, and we read section 5 pages 178-183 “Rome and the roots of Western Civilization. In the sections, it was a lot to read but it had some good information in it. Today is a dress down day and it is also Friday so I think that today is going pretty well and I am excited for the weekend. I am excited to continue to learn about Rome and what happened at their peak and how the roman empire fell.

first class after break

Today in class we read pages from the textbook from the roman republic while two of the kids that were absent when we took the test took the test today. After that we looked over the test and we also did test correction, I got an 88 on my test which I think is really good for me because when I was going into the test I was a well prepared as I would have liked to be but it is fine because I got one of the highest grades in the class and I am proud of my grade. After the finished reviewing the class Mr. Schick told the people that got below 70 on their test that they could retake the test and if they get a better score lower then 70 then he will change it and if they get above 70 then he will get a 70 but if they got below a 70 then they will not change the score.

group project

Today in class we got into our groups a discussed what we were going to do for our group project. My group has decided that we will be making a pot that replicates what a pot would look like back in ancient Greece. We will be going to the John Carroll art room to make our pot so that will be so much fun, we will also have the help of Mr. Gaudreau to make out pot. In ancient Greece, they paint stories on their pots and the story that we are going to paint is a story of Hercules fighting a giant snake-like monster with three heads. The painting will not be as good as the painting that is found on the pot from ancient Greece but we will try our best. This is going to be a fun project and I am excited to finish the class project.

ancient greece

Today in human geo we continue to learn about ancient Greece with the power point that was made. Today we talked about some of the leaders that lead ancient Greece. we talked about Draco, who was a tyrant and is classified as a modern-day tyrant, who was a harsh and crude leader. In his command, almost all crimes punishment was death, and it was okay to have slaves that owned debt. Then Solon came along in 594 BCE and he outlawed debt slavery and also ruled that all Athenian citizens can speak at the assembly’s that were held to talk about politics and the problems the Athenians face. We learned that Arete is the Greek saying and it means do you thing that you do to the best you can do it. We also talked about the Agora which is a meeting place for the government.
