CIA website facts

     Over the past two days in class we used the CIA website to do research on countries where they are located and some interesting facts about them. On the website we went into the world fact book which has information on every country. The first day we used this website I forgot to do my blog, but what we did was research the top 25 most populated countries and where they are located on a map. This was very easy for me because I already knew where all the countries. The one fact that shocked me was that Bangladesh was the 8th most populated country. This was so interesting because Bangladesh  is a very small country and yet it has over a billion and a half people. This gives it a population density of 1,200 people per square kilometer compared to the united states 35. i used this fact in the second day where we used this sight because I Thought it was very interesting.

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.
