Region and place

     Today in class we continued on the unit of thinking geographically. At the beginning of class today we wasted 20 minutes going over homework, and I had an idea to fill out a blank map of the world and have a competition of who can fill the map in the most. I had this idea because I am confident that I would win this competition and win the small prize associated with the competition. After the beginning of class we started to go over how every place on earth is unique. A region is a broad area that the places inside the region are similar to each other. A place is a specific point inside a region. Different places inside a region differ from each other but comparatively are similar to other places around the world.

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.
