Carry a Message to Garcia

In "Carry a Message  to Garcia" a president wants to send a letter to a man known as Garcia. Yet the president doesn't want an incompetent person writing and/or sending it, he wants someone he knows will get the job done. In the story he finds a man named Rowan, who was sending the letter but didn't know where to deliver it. After that they learn that General Garcia is dead, but other Garcia's remain. He restates the fact that he wants someone who could act promptly and do the one thing he asked for, deliver a message to Garcia. he wants them to ask questions some which consist of "Who was he?", "Which encyclopedia?", "Where is the encyclopedia?", and many more. And finally he wants someone that when delivers the letter does not ask any idiotic questions. Now my five ways to make the best of my John Carroll years. First, meet new people. Second, follow directions. Third, go to John Carroll events. Fourth, don't bully anyone, and last but not least, have fun.

    I like your summary of the Hubbard essay, but I would have been more impressed with hearing YOUR interpretation of Hubbard's ideas. So... 44/50 on your essay. However, the Action Plan had basically no detail at all. I was looking for HOW you would accomplish your goals. Thus, a 42/50, for a total of 86/100.

Test Review

Today we came up with questions for the test tomorrow. Some of the questions involved the emperors and kings of Rome while others involved the republic. There were also some on Hannibal crossing the Alps to launch a surprise attack on Rome. That happened in the second Punic War. A lot of people forgot what latifundia was. Latifudia were the big farms that became massive estates that were owned by the rich. Today there weren't any spiders, so no more Caesar the Spiders. Also here are some more things to know for the test. There were three Punic Wars, the emperor Nero was more involved with art than he was about helping his citizens, and Octavian was eventually renamed Caesar Augustus. Augustus meant "exalted one." Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times by praetorians and the senate. Rome was built on the Palatine hill according to the myth of Romulus and Remus. It was Romulus' choice. Hopefully everyone does good tomorrow on the test.

Exam prep

So Friday, we got our test back and went over it to prepare for the exam. I actually did well on it while others not so much. This was the test on the middle ages and all of that good stuff. So anywho after that we started to talk about the exam and the best ways to study for it. Mr. Schick recommended that we right the correct letter on the side of the question, then cover them up and quiz yourself. I liked the idea and I am going to do it. Well that's it so good luck everyone.

Test vs. No Test

Well today we actually were a democracy for a little bit. We voted on if we should have the test or not. No test won. A lot of people were happy about that but a few, not so much. After that whole hoopla we then answered questions in our notebooks like we did earlier, say last week. That was basically all we did but let's add some more things. The questions were on the Renaissance. Also this was the last day of May which was also a Thursday and you know what that means.  It's Thursday song!!!!!!  We still have this class tomorrow and on Monday, but we will probably just review for the exam. Hopefully everyone does good on the exam and doesn't bomb it. Hopefully it's not just this one we do good on but all of them.Well folks that is about it so have a good Thursday, do well on the exams, have a great summer, and God bless ya!
