GOT OUR TEST BACK

today in wes civ we got our test back and they were good news for other people and not so good news for me. i got a 62 on the real test and a 3 on the pop quiz so i didnt do so well . then we went over the test and mr schick gve us all the awnsers and i l relized that i missed some of the most oibvious questions for like when it said what religion did jesus practice i said christianity and that was wrong because he invented that with his "dad". but he praccticed Judaism which means he was jewish not catholic. then becca gave us all cookies and they where so freaking good. i do not know who made them they but they need to start making alot more cookies for me because i really liked them . then we were kinda just able to do what we wanted for the last 5 or 10 minutes of class but tommrow we start to prepare for the exam.

We made a power point that decribed certian parts of the song. it was able to go through and brake down what happened in the time periods that mr schick was rapping about. We did ok i guese for the first time. But the best group i would have to say was the one that carly was in. Hers was on movie maker and and looked amazing if anything she got a 10 out of 10. then there was johns "power point" that was in one note. then there was me and nick and andy. and also there was the horrible audience who tried to give every ones 0.

ME AND NICK ACTUALLY WORKING

OMG ME AND NICK ARE ACTUAL WORKING...... so in wes civ today Mr Schick took a survey about the movie marker project were suposed to be doing. In the end we got rid of it. Because the only people that wernt having problems with it was Carly. And thats 1 out of like 20 so there is a problem. so now insted of a movie maker me and my group are making a power point. What we are doing is going through the lyrics of Mr Schicks song and picking out the important parts and finding pictures for those words. then we are pileing them into a big power point that Mr Schick is going to give us extra credit for

Macedonia- is a peninsula





Athens lost the peoplonesion war because they had a much smaller military they only had the navy. the atheneains had no chance aginst sparta. the reason was sprtas life was focused on the military. sparta also had the help of pursia after they destroyed Athens.

In wes civ we heard that mr schichk was going on senior retreat and we were gonna have a sub tommrow. but he didnt know who it was going to be. then we continued to watch out movie. we learned more about the persian invasion and how they attacked greece and they out numbered them 2 to 1 but they still managed to loose the war and didnt even come close to winning the second time because the greece had more brains then they did

MOVIE!!!!

Today in wes civ we started to watch a movie. we watched a movie on the greeks and how they lived. it was pretty ASTONISHING how they lived there lives. Then mr. schick kepy making fun of the guys voice. it was pretty  ASTONISHING how close he was able to copy the annoying guys voice. but im sure we will see more of the ASTONISHING movie on monday when we go in A ASTONISHING hour late

TODAYS CLASS WAS BORING :(

Today in west civ we had a very fun class. we walked in and mr schick started by doing attendance back wards. Then he was telling us about how he was going to make us really board and he was planning to make us all fall asleep. so then he called on ben....he fixed all that. it was not longer boring and we learned so much i think because it was a fun environmental its hard to learn something if the teacher is just blabbin.

ITS VALENTINES DAY

Today in class we got mr schick back. and at first he seemed a little dissapointed about how slow our groups were working and he didnt think that we were making any progress for the amount of time that had given to us to work on these projects. so we continued with out projects and we made some decent progress on them. then he showed us an example of what one of the girls in another class did. that made us realize that we needed way more then we had and we need to get back on foucus. so we started to pick up pace.

WHERE DID MR SCHICK GO?

Today in wes civ we got to class. AND MR SCHICK WASENT THERE OH NO :O.! But it was all good because we had Mrs Hugo as a sub and she was able to instrutc us what to do. so we got in out groups and we continued to maed progress on our power points. My group made some progress we thought till i saw mr schick was vewing and i messeaged him and he said we need more :(

STONE CRAZY

Today in west civ we started a new section in out text along out western civ journey. we started to study acient greece we have moved from egypt to greece so now where learning about the highest point in greek and how they bulit this massive stone structure on top of it. then we were all wondering how in the world they built the stone henge because there like 10 ton rocks that would be nearly impossible for people to lift. then we where talking about some ways to get them up like that. and the only reason we have heard of before was that the aliens helped      

Today in wes civ

Today in wes civ we finished the power point on egypt and mummies and and how the women where treated and how the men lived. the mummy part was very interesting. they would take the body and then they would take out all of the organs. then they would coat the body in salt. then they would leave it alone for 40 days. then they would come back and they would coat in in perfume and then they would cost in a sticky liquid and then wrap it. then they would coat it agian then they would wrap it agian then they placed a pouch on his or her chest then they would repeat untill they painted the the top layer.

NOTES

wes civer CRASH COURSE

Today in class we watched a bid in called the crash course and it is this guy who teaches about the stuff we learning in class. how bout that. some interesting things that were said in the video were that if you earn minum wage and can earn a 99 cent burger in just around 11 minutes. and that for some reason it takes elephants 22 months to give birth

Western civer 1/23/13

Today in western civs we took notes on a power point that mr. shcick im guesing put togather. some of the things i wrote down was that there were people on all the continets as far back as 14,000 years ago.we also went over the papers that we were supose to right over the weekend. there where some of us that didnt like what jared diamond had to say.and there where some that did. but theres always a split in the group.

Was Jared Diamond on track with his theory of "geographic luck"?

Jared diamond. was he on track with this whole luck theory that he came up with. personaly i think he was just kind of making an assumption. because even if you didnt have the crops that you wanted you could still get them. it wasent has esay as it is today but it is still possible. if you were able to get wheat and barley and bring it back to your home land there is no reason that you couldent get it to grow. if you have sun in water just about anything will grow. and the only reason that i can see for paupa new guni being so far behind from the rest of the world is because there people dont really seem to care. you would think that if they cared enough they would stop living in the woods and hop on there boats and what and go make contact with the rest of and the world and let people know that they still are on this planet. But they waited almost 4000 years before they were able to even get shovels. like really a shovel. they also could have tried to put things togather with the australian goverment to help them start a plan to come up in the world and get out the prehistoric time that they are still in. So in my onion Jared Diamond is way off track.
