Political geography 2.0

  Today in class we reviewed the information from yesterday . We also watched a funny video on naming all of the countries. To review we worked on political organization the tree main definitions were: Country- an identifiable land area, Nation- a group of people with a common culture, and State- a population under a single government. As for the video, I think it was supposed to wow us with the amount of countries in the world but I knew almost all of the countries and some that were not listed. Then at the end of class we were given an assignment. This assignment is pretty easy all of the information is on the world factbook. I have already complete a lot on this assignment and have put some pretty creative pictures. If we get a snow delay tomorrow I will complete the rest of the assignment then.

They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.

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

A message to Garcia

     While reading A Message to Garcia I had much to think about and many emotions. During the reading I almost felt guilty because currently I would not be able to carry the message. I am not the most hardworking person who goes out of his way to accomplish a goal the way it should be accomplished. I always finish something with the required work and will definitely find a way to do minimum work possible. I felt like A Message to Garcia was speaking to those who don't do the most work and to inspire them to better themselves not just for them but for others.            The story also tries to convey how people who are able to carry this message are what all of society needs. In the story the author states that " If men do not act for themselves, then what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all." This explains if you do not do the work for your self how will you be able to work for other people, and if you can not do work f...
