LO-1


            For over three thousand years civilization has been moving and spreading.  Except for certain places people were still in prehistoric living development that came about from the agricultural revolution.  In less popular places a, the rulers thought of these places as suppliers of raw materials and sometimes invaders or intruders.  It was these people that gave birth to western civilization.  At about 4000 B.C. village life and the use of farming and agriculture had spread through the region.  At about 3500 B.C., people got smart enough to build monuments and memorable structures.  Many of these structures were megaliths. Large rough cut stones used to construct monuments and tombs.  These monuments have lasted, and are still standing today.  Early Europeans had no common sense.  Eventually they all began to start speaking their own languages.  War was a big thing in ancient Europe. If a warrior had died he would be placed in his grave with all of his fighting belongings next to his wife. They believed that a lot of his things he would need to fight into the afterlife with.  Many villages formed tribes usually held together by interest that each member usually liked.  Many tribes would meet every now and then to discus business and other different things.  Europe became mostly inhabited by Indo-European language speakers.  They were skilled in farming, metal work, trade, and warfare.  They were called European Barbarians.  Barbarian comes from the Greek word barbaros which means non-Greek.  Eventually the Europeans barbarians came in contact with civilization.  Sometimes the contact was not good. They would either kill everybody and raid what they had or make peace and trade.  Usually if they made goof contact they adopted there ways of life.  Because of these encounters the Greeks developed a distinctive civilization of their own.  They were the first real civilization to emerge in Europe.

Today was a good day for me. I got a new group for my project. I am no longer with all those exchange students. After i got into my new group we discussed what i should do. I had to do slide 5 which is about the agricultural revolution. Since i was at a funeral i didn't get to read, so i had to go into my text book and read all about it. i eventually got it done and had a little time to customize my background.

What we did In class today

Today in class we got to sit where ever we wanted. I sat next to Ricky. Mr. Schick pulled up something called a Prezi ?????????  I had no idea what it was but it was cool. It was kinda like a power point but one one page. The prezi was all about Egypt. After that we got to watch another one of those funny but weird videos of that strange dude but anyway it was fun

What we did In class today

Today was one of the best days that we have ever had in Western Civ. today we gathered into groups of two. I was partnered with Gavin. We went to Mr. schicks blog and clicked on the link that he had in his post. what we had to do was make our own pyramid. it was hard. We had to do everything exactly right or we would get fired or the pyramid would collapse or many other different possibilities. It was frustrating but very fun. eventual me and Gavin got it and we got 8/10 points because we were not the first ones to get it

What we did In class today

Today in class we had something that I was not prepared for at all. Mr. Schick came in and the PowerPoint said POP QUIZ. I was scared. I did not know anything. Luckily for us, he had to go take pictures so that gave us about 10 minutes to study. We took the pop quiz that was only 5 questions and Easy. I am confident that I passed and I cant wait to see my grade.

What we did in Class

Today in class we got settled in our seats. After that Mr. Schick putt on a little movie about the test of our whole life. And the stuff that goes in .99 cent burgers. the guy was talking really fast so what we did is after we saw the whole video without interruption, we talked about it, what happened, what did you think and do you think the guy is weird or not and i think so. then we started to watch it again but we stopped  it in certain areas to talk abut it.

What we Did in Class Today

Today in class we got new seats and then we decided to open our book and look at the text.  We talked about evolution and The theory that Jared Diamond had about geographic luck. all the students were taking notes on Mr schicks PowerPoint that he had up on the board.  

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Jared Diamond

By reading the text that was assigned to us that Jared Diamonds theory could be wrong, I have thought that the text is trying to say  that there is a little geographic luck but its all about evolution. Humans have evolved into a complex design of a living creature since they first came around and all there going to keep doing is evolving. Yes there could be luck involved but the only way that Humans are going to succeed on there land is by evolving to there natural environment and that's what they are going to do. For example when the Spanish defeated the Incas it was the Incas choice to use bronze instead of steel. They could have evolved into a great group and defeated the Spanish if they just took advantages of there resources. Another one is if the Incas would have built boats and explored they might have found other groups where they could trade and do different things for more advance tools.
