Video

Today we watched a six minute video that took up the whole class, to analyze and watch. It was about the roman culture and the socratic method and how it affected society. Than the other part of the video was about how society is equivalent to a cave. Next I have to make up my math test because I failed the first time but besides that the day was great. But I almost lost my laptop today which was the only scare.

We did nothing

Mr. Schick talked about his teaching career and the film industry. And how John Carroll was a very welcoming community. Then talked about Mr. Seyler. I took notes today on the society of Greece and like the landmarks. An example would be the acropolis or a city state. That didn't really take all that long to take notes that took only about twenty minutes of our class period. And now I'm just trying to thing about what to write but next is advisory.

More greek notes

Mr. Schick was not here today, I don't know why but he just wasn't. The sub we had today was Ms. Jaques who is also my Spanish teacher who I just had the mod before. I took notes today on the society of Greece and like the landmarks. An example would be the acropolis or a city state. That didn't really take all that long to take notes that took only about twenty minutes of our class period. And now I'm just trying to thing about what to write but next is advisory.

Greece Notes

1.
Mycenanan- People who settled on the greek mainland around 2000 B.C.

Trojan War-  The legendary story of attack on Troy.

Dorians- They moved into the war-torn countryside. And spoke a dialect of Greek and may have been distant relatives of the Bronze Age Greeks.

Homer-  The greatest story teller who was blind.

Epic- Narrative poems celebrating heroic deeds between 750-700 B.C.

Myth-  Traditional stories about the Gods.

3. The seas were important because they were important transportation routes. And it was also a way to efficently trade with other civilizations.

4. They used the ideas of seaborne trade, writing a language, vase designs, cultural aspects, etc.

5.  Epics were important because they were the first types of written down poems/stories in the culture that celebrated heroic deeds.

Quiz day

Today in class we took a quiz on ancient Egypt. The quiz was ok, I kinda studied last night but not too heavily since it was a quiz. I think I should've studied hardier because I didn't really know the answers to the fill in the blank questions. After the quiz we just took notes on Greece which is the next unit we are starting. After school today I have basketball practice in preparation for our game tomorrow against Mcdonogh. Also tomorrow is our last day and it's away at Mcdonogh.

Quiz tomorrow

Tomorrow we have a quiz tomorrow and we just started to review for today. He just went around and asked us questions from his binder, then we answered. Than we listened to Mr. Schick's favorite song La danse. It was very interesting choice but it wasn't that bad. Next we watched a video about mummification and talked about the process of death. Mr. Schick aburptly leaves our class. But besides that we just goofed around and prepared for our quiz on egypt.

Pop Quiz

So today I walk into class and sit down. The day was going pretty good than Mr. Schick whips out quizzes. And i'm like oh no I have no idea what we've been learning. I think I got two or three wrong which is a failing grade since there were only seven questions. When were going over the answers he revealed it just went A, B, C, D... etc. I didn't pick up on that pattern therefore I don't think I did that well. After we just took notes in our notebook about Egyptian culture. But than before the end of class we went really off topic and started talking about how dead people get cold and hard in a few hours.
