Video: The Greeks

Today in Western Civ we started watching a movie about the Greeks. Most of the stuff what they were telling us we already knew from previous chapters. Liam Neeson was the narrator, he is a very famous actor, he starred in Taken along with Taken 2.  We didn't finish the movie in time for the end of class so I assume we will finish it when we come back from the long weekend. I will add my notes tomorrow since I forgot my notebook at school.

Lots of Work

Today in class Mr. Schick told us we were going to do a paper about Chapter 4 that was on his website. We downloaded the paper and got right to work. So far it is pretty difficult and a lot of work and has been the hardest of all the work he has given us. It takes a while to figure out all the answers and sadly I think we have to do it for homework. The bell rung signalling the end of class along with the end of the day.

Chapter 3 Test Today!

Today we got into class and was given the test for Chapter 3. We were gratefully allowed to use our textbooks. I answered all the questions, some were challenging but it was completely fair. It took about 40 minutes to complete with some time remaining. The test overall was mixed with easy questions and challenging questions. The essay I felt pretty confident about, definitely since I had my textbook. Everyone was focused and quiet during the entire class time. Once I finished I got out my English book, Into the Wild, and finished reading the assigned chapter.  

Test Monday

Today we got right to work, Mr. Schick pulled up the Chapter 3 outline to finish going over it. After a few minutes he told us that he wouldn't be in school on Monday since he will be going on a senior class trip. Since he won't be in class he said that we weren't to use our blogs during the test since he won't be able to monitor what we will be on. He didn't want to leave us in the dark so he is going to allow us to use our textbook. He suggested us to highlight the important topics in the textbook that way it will help us study and be easier to find the answers while doing the test. Once we went over the test on Monday we continued the review while getting side track-ted a few times. We finished up the review just in time for the bell.

Chapter 3 Review

Today was the most boring class ever....but not really since we got a little off topic at times. Once he started the review I was writing notes even though he has then online so he asked, "Why are you taking notes when they are online?" I replied that it helps me remember the material (which it does) which is like another way to study for me. Then he moved on. We finished LO-1 and LO-2 and were beginning to start LO-3 when the bell rung.

Student Teacher Day

Today was very nerve racking since Mr.Schick made my group present our power point in front of the entire class....of like 10 people. Mr.Schick was going through the groups trying to determine which would be the victim that would have to present the power point. Sadly our group was the only one that had the power point completed so we were the victims. We got up there going through LO-1 to LO-3 but we didn't get to finish the LO-3 slides since Mr.Schick would explain in great depth what our slides said since we didn't really know what to say besides what was up there. We were up there for about an hour till the bell rung signalling the end of the very long class.
