Today in class we continued to unit on thinking geographically. We started on mental mapping. Mental mapping is how you see the world around you based on your routine and past experiences. To practice this we had a talk in class about how we view the other parts over the world. In the practice we talked about France which I had already been to, but I was to young to remember. We talked about how French people are sometimes classified as rude, but that statement was probably false because There are many rude American tourists in France and they give a jaundiced view of the people there. For classwork in our notebooks we drew a map of the world and labeled all of the continents and oceans and other geographic features like countries and states. I already have more knowledge on geography so this assignment was easy for me. The hard part was drawing the map because I am very bad at drawing maps from memory.
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.
