Tests back

I really don't want to talk about the test. I did bad and most people did better than i did so i don't want to say muchh in this blog. I just am trying to stay positive knowing that I still have a B. I want to stay in honors next year so I'm trying. I just think I am bad with bookwork. I need to do better on the final obviously. That's what we did the entire class so that's it for me.

Rome Test

So today in western civ we had a test and i dont think it went very well. I thought I knew more than I did and i feel that I lot of people probably felt the same way. It was a difficult test and I think many people felt that way. I don't think we had enough time to prepare for it since we had 2 days to go over a powerpoint. Not much of it was from the book. This test will hurt my grade and it stinks.

Test Tommorow

So today in western civ we went over the powerpoint again and we have a test tommorow. I know a decent bit about Rome so I can get a good score but I'm not 100% on it so thats not great. I studied some tonight to help me out a little bit. Some things on the powerpoint were the dictators of Rome and when they ruled which confuses me just like they always do. So, wish me luck. I'm going to try to ace this tommorow.

Review of Rome

So today was our first full day of reviewing in a while since Mr. Schick has been out for so long. So, we get into class and there are very few kids there just like all my classes. I was thinking there was something going on but maybe people were sick or just skipping school. So we went over Chi Cagos guide to Ancient Rome and got through quite a bit of slides on there. Probably about 20. It was a very productive class to prepare for the test on Tuesday.

Review/Day 8 of Rome

So today in Western Civ we started class with a review and Mr. Schick was back. Then we did our final day of Rome.It was just a worksheet so there isnt much to put in this blog. Mr Schick and Belle argued about the Sandy Hook Conspiracy which is stupid because it obviously happened. I dont know why that was even an argument. But the worksheet was on the fall of the roman empire and Pompeii. Thats about all I have. We won our baseball game and Mr Grzannas car window got smashed. At least I think it was his.

Rome Day 7

Rome kinda fell out of nowhere because they just lost one battle and their entire empire fell down from there. I dont think that will happen to the USA because we dont have as many battles and try to own huge empires in this day and age. But in this hypothetical scenario if the US would get taken over like Ancient Rome did then its always possible. One war can demolish a place with tons of power just like what happened to Rome. The only reasons in my opinion that the US would fall is if some government problem and not like Rome.

Day 6 of Rome

inflation- prices in things drop, basically a drop in stocks in todays world
mercenary- foreign soldiers recruited by the government to fight for money
Diocletian- Leader of an army
Constantinople- New Roman Capital
Attila- powerful chieftain

Inflation, Agriculture, bad military

He split the empire in half for discipline and eventually doubled the size of the empire until it collapsed

The Huns were invading them

Day 5 Of Rome

Jesus: a jew born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea
Apostle: people who wrote the New Testament of the BiblePaul: a jew who had never met Jesus and at first was an enemy of christianity.Diaspora: dispersal of the jewsConstantine: roman emperor who won a battle with the Christian symbol on his troops soldiersBishop: also a priest who looked over churchesPeter: first bishop in RomePope: the father of churches

Jesus emphasized personal relationships with God to the people in Rome

Early Christians refused to worship Roman Gods

It gave the churches basic beliefs

Day 4 of Rome

Today is Day 4 of Rome which means we are halfway done so here are my notes for this class.
We are supposed to compare the textbook to the rap that Mr Schick did. His rap is awesome. The difference is that Mr Schick's rap talks about more of the kings. Meanwhile the powerpoint also talked about locations of the Roman Empire and where things were so basically the geography of it. Also in the powerpoint it describes the different types of government that they had compared to Greece but the rap doesnt talk about that.
