Movie class

Today the first part of class was spent on finishing up the last section of Greece. Class was cut short today because we had a prayer service. The last part of the chapter was about the Hellenistic philosophy and it was broken up into two sections. One section called for living a life in full harmony with the universe. The other had people base their life on full body and mind synchronization. The last part of class we watched a part in an interesting movie about Alexander.

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.
