Excellence 3.0

   As a review before the test tomorrow we went over some of the questions that could be on the test. After so much review and so many blogs I had a good idea on most of the lesson. Through the review I found that I hadn't studied enough on A message to Garcia. to be successful on the test tomorrow I need to remember that it was written in 1899 during the Spanish American war. the book shares a story of an officer who was told to deliver a message to Garcia which was a leader of the Cuban revolution. Rowan excellently delivered the message without asking questions. Elbert Hubbard the author of the story emphasized that all people should look up to how he worked. This book became so popular because people wanted a reminder about how they should give their best on their day to day lives.

Rome rap

 Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing

The rise of Christianity

 Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.

Rome vs. america

Today in class we focused on comparing the Roman government to the American government. The early American government was based off of the Roman republic. Romans believed that strawberries  could cure bad breath.
