Friday

Today in class we watched a movie called germs, guns, and steel. Jared Diamond was a scientists who went to Papuanew Guinea. A man asked Jared "why do white men have so much cargo but we have so little". People who live there hunter and gather for there food. They ate mostly sego, which is not good for them.

Thursday

Today in class we took our test. I feel pretty good about the test. On some questions i needed to use my blog, but most of them I didn't. The short answer questions were harder then the fill in the blank. Hopefully I did really good!!!!

Wednesday

Today in class we reviewed for our Mesopotamia test tomorrow. We went over the powerpoint again. Mr. Schick told us what we needed to know for the test. We then looked at Hammurabi's code. I re-wrote all the notes that were on the powerpoint. I hope I do good on this test.

Second Day

Today was our second day of Western Civ. We had a 2 hour delay so class was cut short. Mr.Schick showed us a power point on "prehistory to civilization". We had to take notes on this power point and pay attention to what he was saying. He told us that we are going to have a test on this Wednesday. Hopefully the test won't be too hard.

First Day

Today was my first day of Western Civ. Mr.Schick explained that we need to blog every day that we have class to the students who didn't have him last semester. We had to make a new blog and email the link to Mr.Schick. Most of the students were not in my Human Geo class. I am glad I'm in a different section and get to meet new people. Hopefully this will be an enjoyable class.
