Today's class
Today's class was wired. I was like a judge and we all debated on if the Chinese exchange students should use translators. It was funny because if whoever was speaking they had to step up on the imaginary podium and if they didn't, we would yell STEP UP!!!!! Hahahaha it was great but after all we voted and like only Ana voted for not having translators

Todays class
todays class was crazy. I thought mr. schick was going to have a heart attack. He invited a group to present and it was all wrong. Then he invited another group up. Rickys group. they were good. They didnt have much flaws and it lasted long. It was so funny because Mr. schick was freaking out that wew were the worst class he has had all day

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.

What We Did in Class Today
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.

We had a test today in class
Today in class was a big pass or fail moment. We had a test. I had studied a lot for this test and i hope to be getting a good grade on it. we had 25 multiple choice, 1 short answer that had to be at least three sentences, and a essay that had to be 3 paragraphs. They were both easy in my perspective. I hope I passed but I am confident I did

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
