Today in class we continued to unit on thinking geographically. We started on mental mapping. Mental mapping is how you see the world around you based on your routine and past experiences. To practice this we had a talk in class about how we view the other parts over the world. In the practice we talked about France which I had already been to, but I was to young to remember. We talked about how French people are sometimes classified as rude, but that statement was probably false because There are many rude American tourists in France and they give a jaundiced view of the people there. For classwork in our notebooks we drew a map of the world and labeled all of the continents and oceans and other geographic features like countries and states. I already have more knowledge on geography so this assignment was easy for me. The hard part was drawing the map because I am very bad at drawing maps from memory.
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
