grandparents day

Today in Western Civ, we had everyones grandparents come to the class because it was grandparents day. It was a fun class again because of the stuff we learned. Mr. Schick was being funny again, and was doing a very good job of presenting in front of the grandparents. I think this topic is pretty interesting. Mr. Schick showed us a Google Earth image of the colosseum.

Started the project

Today in West Civ, we worked on our projects for most of the class. I'm with Jerry, Parker, and Dylan. We are doing a power point, a sculpture, and a one page paper. It's going to be a fun project because of the people in my group. Mr. Schick was than asking everyone what they were doing. I thought one of the groups project was cool. Their project involved making a music video with a green screen.

riots

Today in Western Civ, we talked about the rioting in Baltimore. We discussed the good and the bad things about it. We also talked about some of the interviews that everyone saw. We talked a lot about an interview with this kid in a green shirt, and how he made so much sense. I thought that todays class was so much fun today because of the conversation we had.

Absent

Today in West Civ, I wasn't in class. I wasn't at Crackle Barrel, but everyone probably thinks I am. Mr. Schick definitely thinks I'm at Cracker Barrel, but that's fine. I hope I didn't miss much, so that I won't be behind when I get back. Can't wait to talk more about Rome, and see Chi Cago agin, so that he can perform once again.

Computer Problem

Today in West Civ, Mr. Schick showed us the song lyrics again. When he showed us this time, he added pictures to it, so we could learn it easier. Mr. Schick was getting really mad at his computer because it wasn't working correctly. It was a funny class again because of all the things that happen. Veronica brought in donuts and we all ate them.

we got a 98%

Today in West Civ, we got our papers back. My group got a 98%. It was suprising because most of the other groups got lower than that. We worked really hard on it, and got nearly any mistakes. We than looked at the most common mistakes by everyone, and how we should not make these mistakes. It was a fun class and can't wait for tomorrows class.

best class ever

Today in Western Civ, Mr. Schick made the day. In class we started to talk about Rome. He had a powerpoint on it that we looked at and took notes on. It was a little boring, but most classes are. The phone rang during the middle of class and Jayla picked it up once again. It was Mrs. Fogerty telling Mr. Schick that we had a guest. Mr. Schick then left the room. When he returned he dressed up as a rapper, and made himself look like the guest. He then performed a rap song for us called Rome by CHI CAGO. It was a song by him about Rome. The class started laughing so hard, and definitely will be the class of the year.

we had a shadow

Today in West Civ, we just worked on homework for the whole class. This was awesome because I had a lot of homework, and now I have almost none. I worked on my math homework which was pretty hard, but got it done. We also had a shadow, and that shadow used to go to my middle school, so I knew him well. It was a fun class.

Human cathedral

Today in Western Civ, we had a different class than usual. We talked about future projects for the remainder of the year. The weird thing about this is that Mr. Schick is letting us choose what we want to do as a project. I had a lot of ideas, but no one liked them. I suggested clay macon Rome characters in a movie, a comercial about Rome, or a movie with real people.  Jerry had some really funny suggestions like a human cathedral, but Mr. Schick didn't buy into that. The class was really funny today and ope we can talk more about this tomorrow.

Plato video

Today in Western Civ, we watched a video on Plato. It was a little boring, but it was very interesting. I zoned out a couple times, but knew a little bit of what it was about. When we were done watching it, we discussed about it. It had a really cool meaning because the whole story was relating to life now a days. The life now a days is mainly about people being very close minded, or only think what they think is right. I hope we can do something fun tomorrow because coming back from a long break is hard.

i got a 78%

Today in Western Civ, we went over our tests. I got a 78%, but I knew I could've done  a little better. It was actually better than I thought I got because I didn't know a lot of the questions. We actually took the entire test to go over the answers. At the end of the class we had to go to an assembly about this guy who had to go through a lot. I thought he was actually pretty cool because how interesting his story was. I don't like when the speakers are very boring because than it's hard to listen. Mr. Schick's class is the best class by far, and only have about six more weeks of new material.

we had a test

Today in Western Civ, we had a test, and it was not that good. I think I got a C or a B. It was a pretty hard test because of all of the questions. I hope I can get a B, but if I get a C, I will take it. It's still the beginning of the quarter, and I know I can get it up. Mr. Schick is putting the test in the machine right now to get the grades. I'm guessing our average percent will be around a 77%. I can't wait to see what I got.
