 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.

Today was the final test on ancient Rome. I was absent yesterday and didn't get all of the notes for the emperors. I feel i did very well on this test. I was the first to finish and knew almost every answer. I didn't use my blogs on the test because there isn't information that already didn't know on my blog.

 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

Today class was 10 min shorter than usual because of an assembly. The class was pretty easy because the class didn't want to take many notes. All of class was spent on one slide on Roman laws vs American laws. We got off track with the Bill of Rights and every  amendment we had a discussion.

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.

   Today in class we did more of the Rome power point. We also talked about the Boston marathon for some reason. We also talked about Chernobyl and the radioactive dogs living there.

     Today in class we started a power point on Rome. Most of the class was discussing the settlers of Rome, Remus and Romulus and the tyranny of the last king of Rome.

Today class was only 35 minutes because we got out at 12:45. We reviewed the rest of the test as classmates made their claims on what questions shouldn't be on the test. Since I read the book so I knew the answers. Overall everyone was given an extra 4 points added to their test which raised my 92 to a 96.

Today we started our unit on Rome. The first chapter covered a lot of Roman history. It covered the beginning of the republic and how it functioned. And the Punic wars with Carthage. The rest of class was spent on going over the test. I did very well on this test in relationship to the rest of the class. I don't know why people were complaining that we weren't taught some of the information because I remember studying all of it even the questions I didn't know.

Today in class we took the final test on Greece. The test was all multiple choice which I liked a lot. The test was really easy I don't know how most thought it was hard. I felt like I knew every question except a couple on the Philosophers.
