Western Civ project pt. 2

Today in western civ we continued to work on our presentations. My part was done so I had to help out other people in my group. The photo I used to represent geography was this. Image result for ancient greece topographical map
This is a topographical map of Ancient Greece. Topographical maps are meant to give you a real life interpretation of what the place actually looks like. The mountainous areas on the map are shown as very rugged regions. Greece is a peninsula. which means that it is surrounded by water on three sides. This can also show what lad is flat and arable. Yes, topographic maps are made by cartographers.

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!

Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo (artists, not Ninja Turtles)

So today we took a test on the Middle Ages and all that good stuff. I thought it was easy but a lot of my classmates were complaining saying that it was hard. All I have to say about that is you should've studied. Well we will see what we all got. After we finished the test we went on to read about the Renaissance and the four major artists as well. Once I was finished and a lot of others as well, they went onto their laptops instead of doing the work on the side board. Only me and one other person I think did our work. Sorry about that tangent, now back to the artists.  Each of these artists had different styles of art. Some did sculptures while others did paintings. Leonardo is probably the most famous out of these four, probably because of the Mona Lisa and Last Supper paintings. Well everyone, no more tests in this class (hopefully), just gotta hold out a little longer. I know all of you can do it.
