Today in western civilization class we learned about the start of Christianity in the early world. It was very interesting to learn the historical stand point of the begging of Christianity and not forma religious point of view. At the begging of class, we went over our test, I am very proud of what I got on the test, I got a 97, so only two questions wrong so that is good. We also took a stretch break in the middle of class and that was nice because I got to stretch and talk to my friends. Today was a good day in western civ, we have western civilization tomorrow last so then Monday we will not have this class. We also talked about how the other class does not have to do there blog anymore.

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.
