Today was the dreaded first day back from break and the start of 2018. We started off the new year with a new unit on political geography. Today we focused on how the world is organized. The world can be organized into three main categories a Country, Nation or State. A country is an identifiable land area, a nation is a population with a common culture/identity, and a State is a population under a single government. A better definition of nation is groups of people . Larger than a single tribe or community, which may share common language , institutions, religion and or historical experience. This can describe many things but most countries fall under all of these rules. An Independent State has many different rules but some of them are: internationally recognized boundries, has an organized economy, and a government that provides public services. These requirements are met by all countries.
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
