Thursday's Class 3/27/14

     During Thursdays class we pretty much had open discussion.  I can't exactly remember though what we were disusing because today is Saturday and its been awhile.  Mr. Schick I hope to see that I got an A on my test.  Or something close to that.

Wednesday's Class 3/26/14

      Today in class we took a test on Ancient Greece.  I felt that i learned alot the the material in class and studied well for it.  I actually think this might be my best test grade in Mr. Schick's class all year.  We went over this topic much longer than how long we usually go over for the other tests.  I hope this test grade will start me off good for the fourth qusrter.

Tuesday's Class 3/25/14

      Today in class we watched the video again on Ancient Greece.  We have a test tomorrow that I really have to prepare for.  I need to study my notes heavily and re watch some of the video.

Fridays Class 3/21/14

     Aphasia a kind of prostitute but at the same time she wasn't.  Her job was basically like a dating service.  She and Pericles fell in love by accident and he left his wife for her.  Cleisthenes was an aristocrat who thought of himself as high up.  Cleisthenes was an aristocrat who wanted to share power would was amazing for his kind.  Being ostracized in Ancient Greece was the most humiliating thing even more so then being killed in front of the town.  If Greece hadn't stopped the Persian empire Europe would be totally different today.  Hubris means you are so confident and full of yourself and thinking that you can't go wrong at all.

Thursdays Class 3/20/14

     Today in class we decided to let Mr. Schick do some grading while we sat around and talked.  We then watched these crazy videos about near death moments.  Some of them are ridiculously close to like by inches.  They were all mainly to do with cars and trains.

Fridays Class 3/14/14

      During Friday's class we didn't have class in Mr. Schick's classroom because he wasn't there.  So we went to Mrs. Snouks room and had class there.  We continued watching the video about Athens and Sparta and filling out our study guide.

Thursday's Class 3/13/14

      Today in class we had a very unorganized class and we basically just went over our study guides that we were filling out that we worked on with Mr. Perry's the other day.  Mr. Schick I emailed you telling you that I did the Cyber day homework over.

Wednesday's Blog 3/12/14

     Athens had a great name for theater.  They had a big theater that they could fit about 5,000 people in the theater.  They would wear big masks on stage so people in the upper deck could see them acting down on stage.  They would attach small horns to there masks so that their voice would boomingly echo to the people of the upper deck.  When Athens was at its peak people from all over the world came to Athens to exchange ideas.  Athens came up with the idea of the Internet but in a non electronic way.  Athens didn't really have poor people if america all came together we have the resources to end poverty all together but we don't.

Tuesday's Class 3/11/14

       Today in class we presented our Athens project.  The project was to create a video for ancient Athens to get people to want to go to Athens to visit.    The people in my group  were Me, Phil, Zack, and Jevan.  I think we did a great job and we are waiting to hear how we did on it.  I kinda feel though that Mr. Schick was dissapointed since he left the class before the bell rang.

Friday's Class 3/7/14

     Fridays class we had a sub and our sub was Mr. Perry.  We worked more on watching the video and filling out our study guides.  I had an unexpected shadow show up that mod.  I didn't know i was going to have a shadow on Friday.

Wednesday's Class 3/5/14

       Today in class to start Mr. Schick was talking to us about how he was going away with the seniors for the senior retreat.  About four senior's walked in to get their books after their senior retreat meeting and Mr. Schick said the same thing to all of them which was pretty funny.  He would say "Hey where were you?" they would say "the senior retreat meeting" and then he would say "Oh, we were just talking about that" and then he would say bye.  Anyways we continued learning about Ancient Greece today by watching a history movie and following along in our study guides.  I think I will be prepared for this upcoming test since we have a study guide.

Tuesdays Class 3/4/14

     Today in class we watched a video on how Athens began.  The video explained how Athens started out as a really small town on a huge mountain.  Athens was run by Aristocrats who controlled the lower social status citizens.  Greece at the time was a really small country but they somehow always kept the Persian Empire from invading Greece.  Persia at the time was about ten times bigger than Greece.

Friday's Class 2/28/14

     Friday was the day Phil and I finally got to teach the class and if you ask me I think we did a pretty darn good job but we will see come the day of the test.  I thought we did a good job getting the points across and "dumbing" things down a little bit so it was easier to understand.
