writing portion/last class with Mr. Schick

Today in West Civ, we had the writing portion of the exam. It was A LOT of writing, and we only had about 50 minutes to write 3 essays. I was rushing to get everything done, so I doubt my grammar and spelling wasn't the best. I hope I can get at least a B on this part and even better on the next part. I finished with only about 3 minutes left, and hope I can do well.

test overview

Today in west civ, we went over the test we just took. i found out that I made stupid mistakes on the ones I got wrong. I didn't check the test that well and was probably the reason why I didn't get a good grade. I hope I can do well on the first part of the exam tomorrow.

last test

Today in West Civ, we had a test. I think I got a B. It was pretty hard, but not to hard. I hope I got at least a B. I knew most of the questions, but some of the questions were a little confusing and I mixed them up with other questions. Mr. Schick is grading the tests right now, and hoping I will get a good grade.

More on presentation

Today in West Civ, more people presented projects. Jayla did a very well done job for being a lone. She presented about pottery. Alex and Arthur did their project on architecture and brought in a Roman temple made out of legos. Trish and Caitlyn made a diary, and read the diary in front of the class. It was really good, and very long.

Two groups presented

Today in West Civ, we had presentations. One group brought in a Roman food, and it tasted pretty good. Another group made a rap, and it was really funny. They weren't that good at singing, but the song was really good. I hope our group does a good job, so we get a good grade. I really need a good grade because I don't have that well of a grade in this class. Our group is doing a presentation on Gladiators, and it's going to be fun presenting.

left early

Today in West Civ, I left early. I left early because I'm going to Vermont to go to my brothers graduation. When I left, we were about to watch a video on BB King. He was a famous Jazz player. I heard a lot about him on the radio when driving up to Vermont. I can't wait until the summer is here, so I can have fun.

More on Rome

Today in West Civ, we went over more of the powerpoint. It was a little more interesting because of some of the things we learned. I can't wait until summer, so I don't have to sit in class anymore. I hope to have a fun teacher in history class next year because history is a boring subject, but Mr. Schick made it a very fun subject.

pop quiz

Today in West Civ, we had a pop quiz. I didn't do too well on it because I kept getting the answers mixed up. I hope I can still get an A for the quarter, and for the semester. I got a 6/10 on the pop quiz, and our average grade was a 72%. I should've done a lot better on it. At the end of class, we got to work on our Rome projects. We got a little bit done.

grab some land

Today in West Civ, we watched more on the movie. Mr. Schick kept going back to this one scene where they said, "Grab the Land." They kept saying it and Mr. Schick and everyone else thought it was very funny. I hope we can do more fun things like this in class. Next week is our test and some of this is probably going to be on there. I hope I do well.

JFK

Today in Western Civ, we learned more about Rome. We reviewed what we learned yesterday. Mr. Schick told us about Vice-Presidents, and how they do nothing. He was telling us about the story on JFK, and his death. It was irrelevant to class, but was still fun to talk about. We then learned more about the powerpoint. Mr. Schick gets a little mad because of how slow we write, evan though we don't have to write everything.  It was a fun class.

US vs Rome gov't

Today in Western Civ, we compared the ancient Rome government, and the U.S government. The ancient Rome government is very similar to the U.S government from when the bill of rights was signed. They both have a legislative, judicial, and executive branches are the three types of government. It was pretty cool learning about the amendments, and the class discussing it. I hope we learn more tomorrow.

We got to do homework

Today in Wester Civ, we got to work on homework. We got this because we are yet again, in front of the other classes. I was really happy because I had a lot of homework, and I don't want to be doing it over the weekend. I now have none, and hope my other teachers won't give me a lot. Mr. Schick is the best teacher because he always does this.
