Today in class we listened to the story of the Odyssey and discussed YouTube. We talked about if YouTube should be allowed in class and if it is the teacher's fault if a student is using it. My opinion is that students should never be allowed to use YouTube in class even if they are getting straight A's. If they are not in class they should be able to use it. In the rest of the time of class we listened to the Odyssey. It was very interesting how it was told in story form and was entertaining. We listened to the chapter of the Odyssey about Peloponnese. it was about how Odysseus overcame a giant cyclops on an island.i really liked listening to the audio book and wish that we will do this again. I might even listen to them in my own time.
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
