Movie Time

Today in class we didn't discuss anything we started watching videos about Rome that the BBC (British broadcasting) made. Overall the movies were really good and informative. Everything that was said actually happened and wasn't made up or wrong so that's always good. We watched the videos up to the 6th one...I think. Then we stopped and went to advisory.

New Attitude

So Friday we went over the class averages for the quest we took on Wednesday. Overall we didn't do well, our class average was like a 76....not the best. Mr.Schick didn't really yell at us for not doing our best but gave us an inspirational pep talk about closing the school year like we started it. We went over the quest and got the right answers. We got distracted a lot which kinda annoyed me since I wanted to know the correct information before class time ran out. We did however finish reviewing it with the interruptions.

Quest Today

Today we had a few extra minutes before the quest to review our notes. We got the test and I think I did ok on......there were a few questions that I didn't quite understand so I made an educated guess. We were the first ones to take it which was ok I guess. After we finished the quest we just hung out and talked. It was a pretty uneventful class, nothing too exciting happened. We were assigned reading for homework that is due on Friday so I'll probably do half of the reading tonight and the other half tomorrow night.

Test TOMORROW

So we started out watching a video of a chariot race that was NOT computer animated it was all stunt men and actors....that's pretty cool! After we finished watching the movie to see how the chariot races were, we continued on to review. We got our textbooks out...for those that had them...and started reading voluntarily...even though I didn't volunteer to read and still did....while ever one was scrambling to take notes I just highlighted what he though was important in the book. Mr.Schick told us we have a quest tomorrow (quiz/test)...great! I kinda wish we had a little more advance notice that way I can be extra prepared since we won't be able to use our blogs. We finished up reviewing and had about 5-10 minutes left in class so we got to relax a little till we could leave to go home. 

Video Watching and Reviewing

Today we had class first mod which isn't always good since it's a Monday morning and we're all tired. We started out watching the music videos we created that went along with the rap he made about Rome.  The majority of the class made the video but me and another group only did a part of it. I think I might have gotten a little extra for the small portion of work I did. After having the first 20 mins watching videos and just relaxing we got right to work on reviewing what we learned in the rap. We didn't finish reviewing when the class ended signaling a long advisory.

Review

So in class Mr.Schick broke the news that we won't be finishing our music video because there has been too many problems and it's taking to long. He did say that we could finish the video and turn it in as extra credit....not sure if I'm going to do that....depends on how much it's worth. Once we established that we started taking notes about Rome and just overall reviewing what we learned from the rap and reading. I think the rap helped a lot to remember what he is teaching....plus he might have a career in rapping. We didn't finish reviewing when the bell rang so I assume we'll finish up when we get back to school on Monday.

More rapping

So I forgot to blog last night so I'm doing it now. Yesterday we had a sub because Mr.Schick had to leave early for an academic competition...I think...ANYWAY while he was gone we continued to work on our rap and we actually got a lot done even though we only have a minute of the song done and the song is 10 minutes long! My partner left early so I tried to work on it without her but I didn't want to exclude her from it so I just did a few more pictures.
