Population graph

     Today in class we watched another video and took notes. These notes were a add-on to yesterday's notes. Today's video was on a teacher who found a new way to help visualize population and how people live. He made a diagram using a coordinate grid where the y axis represented lifespan and the x axis is the annual income. Then he represented each of the top countries of each region with a circle. The larger the countries population the larger the circle. The circles were color coordinated by region. First he depicted where the circles were in 1810 with all of them being in the bottom left corner of the grid with people having a low lifespan and low annual income. Then he changed the dates and the circles moved accordingly. The European and American countries were the farthest with annual income and life span. Then when countries became more modern they started to move to the top right corner. This is used to show how countries with higher income usually have higher life expectancy.

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.
