February 22, 2019

Today in class we did a worksheet on the important vocab for the next test we will be having on Monday. I hope it was like the Mesopotamia test because I did well on that. I'm kinda getting bored though because we don't really do anything exciting or have conversations about what we are learning, it's just notes.

Page 41 Questions 1-5

1.
Delta - The Nile Region in Lower Egypt
Narmer - King that united Lower and Upper Egypt
Theocracy - The control of government through Religion
Pyramid - Rest place on the dead for rich people (kings)
Mummification - The preservation of the dead through rapping bodies
Hieroglyphic - Ancient language through symbols "Sacred - Carvings"

2. The Structure of the Pyramid's because its the biggest mark the Egyptians left, it was a ancient wonder of the world and it's still a modern day phenomenon.

3. The Desert's surrounded Egypt benefited them because it was almost a natural barrier to sorts and helped keep out enemies

4. The Egyptians viewed the Pharaoh as a God, they worshipped him as he ruled over Egypt.

5. The Egyptians believed that there was an afterlife and at the gate or beginning you would judged by what you had to offer and the more money would get you more. They believed the Mummification of the dead was a step closer to the Afterlife.

Today in Class we were told we have a test on Mesopotamia on Tuesday. We took notes out of the textbook on Egypt and I only got like halfway through. Egypt is a lot more interesting to me then Mesopotamia. I'm glad to have moved on and next time we have class we'll take the test

I don't know what we did in class, like Mr. Schick got a lazer pointer but thats all i know to be honest it was kinda boring. I already know everything so I just wanna take the test or learn something new, but I did get to listen to music but I do that 24/7

Today was same old, we just review stuff we already knew again and then we were to read Hummarbi's Code. Some of the laws are kinda funny and insane at the same time. I wanna get through this unit because it really doesn't interest me that much to be honest. We will see him again tomorrow so fingers crossed i guess

To be honest, I think we just reviewed again today like last class, so it was actually really boring cause i already know all this stuff from the text book. But i did get a 98 on my test so thats good. I really wanna learn about ancient Egypt and ancient Greece since i have played enough Assassins Creed to understand a good basis of it

Today in Class we continued to take notes from the Chapter. I learned about the formation of the first empire from the conquer Sagon of Akkad and the rise and fall of his empire.
After reading about the God's of these early civilization years, I always think will that be what people think of us in 2000 years? Is it just endless cycle of God(s) that each civilization believed in? I know as a devoted Catholic, I know I shouldn't think like that but its just a interested thought

Today in class we took notes in the textbook. It was kinda boring but at least I have something I can study from. We went over Mesopotamia and the Samaritan people who inhabited it, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers caused much damage to the land and the Samar's where often susceptible to flooding and damage. The Greek people would often adapt the Government style of the early Mesopotamian City States

Today in Class we took our first test of Western Civilization, I think I did pretty good. For the rest of class all I had to do was write this blog. I think I did well on my other test in English today for Vocab. I really really really hope we don't have to watch another video for Chapter two and we can just learn like in Human Geo. I don't know what else to say for this blog sooooo

Today was very long but I laughed a lot which is good. I got a 98 on my Math Test which I'm really proud of and I made First Honors. I have two tests tomorrow, a Vocabulary Test in English & the test in Western Civilization. After playing Assassins Creed, I'm very interested into seeing the Roman Empire and it's beautiful architecture, I know its a small detail to most but to me the Athenian & Roman architecture is absolutely breath taking to me. I'm going to make a quizlet tonight to review for the test and hopefully I can get my grade up.
