Cultural regions

     Today in class we talked about cultural regions and how it makes every place on earth unique. The word culture has two main meanings used in this topic. The first is that culture is to care for something or to adore and worship something. This is used to describe people's beliefs, ideas and values. This is people's people's religion, language and ethnicity that effect how they go through their daily lives. The second definition for culture in this topic is what people take care of or cultivate. This describes people's possessions like food, water and clothing. This is used in geography to describe how people in an area live based on their possessions. A person's income is also apart of this second definition because a person's income dictates what they can by and how they can live.

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.
