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 class was supposed to mainly be on taking notes on Greek mythology, but we got pretty off topic. We got off topic and spent most of class on questioning the credibility of sources. This started when students questioned if the Greek god's really weren't real and it was concluded there was no real way to prove there existence or disprove it. Then we started to broaden that to all religions. There is no real proof that God existed or didn't exist that is why people must have faith. Then we moved o to history where you said that history is written by the victors which means the civilizations who survived and passed on their history wrote about their history from their point of view. One example is if Germany won world war two, Hitler would be known as a great leader who defeated the allies and killed off the "evil" Jews. We concluded with that all these factors should be considered before coming to a conclusion on how history could have played out.
