Rome Essays!!

Today in class we took the essay part of our exam. I did A, C, and D. I thought my essays went really well. I pre-wrote yesterday, so I went in feeling prepared and ready. It was a lot to write three essays in fourtyish minutes, but I'm relieved to have it over and done with. I'm really sad that today was my last class with Mr. Schick. I had a lot of fun this semester with Mr. Schick, and I will definately remember Mr. Schick's west civ class when I am a senior. I hope that one day I will have Mr. Schick again. 

THANKS MR. SCHICK FOR A GREAT SEMESTER I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH YOU. I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD YOU ALL YEAR. 

Rome Test!

Today in class we took the Rome test. I thought it was medium overall. I knew a lot except, I had some difficulty on the government. I think I got those all right! I got an 88% on the test. I always get A's on Mr. Schick tests, so I was upset that I didn't get an A on this test. However, I did not really study for the test this weekend since I was at the beach. Then, we went and picked up our project from Mr. Schick's room. I'm starting my studying tonight for exam, but the past week I have been lightly reviewing while I make my quizlets. Thursday we take the essay portion of our exam, I will pick my last essay topic and start getting an idea of what I want to talk about in my exam essay.

Rome Test Tuesday!

Today in class we reviewed the big Rome powerpoint, to get ready for the test on Tuesday. I'm hoping for an A on this test, because I have a 94 and this could boost my grade up even more; along with the 200 point Rome project. I will definitely study hard this weekend, to prepare for the test. However, besides the Rome test this weekend I have to begin studying for exams. 

Rome Presentations 3.0

Today in class we finished presentations. Everyone did an amazing job on their projects! You can tell everyone really put a lot of effort into their project. Mr. Schick informed us that next Thursday we would be given our exam essay and would take that portion early. I actually was happy to find that out since we will get the question in advance, so we can study the question. 

Rome Presentations 2.0

Today in class my group, Alex and Arthur, and Jayla went. Jayla went first and she made Roman pottery. She did an excellent job, she knew a good amount of information on the pottery. Alex and Arthur made a model of a Roman structure. OMG. Their project was just breathtaking. It looks like they put a lot of effort into their project! I hope they get a 100% because their project was amazing. Next Trish and I went, I think we did a good job. It seems like everyone enjoyed our presentation. Mr. Schick really seemed to enjoy it. I had fun dressing like a plebeian for one mod. A toga is very comfortable!!

I ACTUALLY DID NOT MESS UP TALKING IN FRONT OF SOMEONE! #icankindofdopublicspeaking

Rome Project Presentations 1.0

Today in class we started to present Rome projects. First Megan, Veronica, Zaire, and Rosemary went. They made a three-course Roman meal. They made salad, pasta, and Roman cheesecake. We also received apple/grape juice. They did a great job and the food was good. Next Steve, Adam, and Evan went. They made a parody of Iggy Azeala's song "Fancy". They did a great job! They put a lot of effort into it, except it did not seem like Adam put much work into it. He wasn't in the rap, and he showed up late. Overall, their group did an excellent job. Finally, David went. He's powerpoint on the Colosseum and Circus Maximus was filled with information. I don't think he had much of the creative aspect, however, he still did a good job. Overall, today everyone did a great job. Tomorrow I present with Trish, and I am really nervous. I have a few more things to do tonight, however, it will get done on time.  

B B King and Rome Projects

Today in class Mr. Schick showed us a video of B B King, who died last night. I'm not a big fan of blues, but he was very talented at what he did. After we watched the video, Mr. Schick gave us the rest of the mod to work on our projects. Me and Trish present 3rd on Wednesday the 20th. We are going to dress up as Rome people, and act out what we read. I can't wait to present.
