Today we are working on questions in the text and then a powerpoint for the second half of class. We held a class tally on whether we should have our computers open or not. I voted computers because I would much rather type my textbook answers somewhere than write them down. I hate the length of small notebook paper and I would rather type them. The vote was 11 to 10 so it was very close. 1st half of class 1. Renaissance- was a period in European history from 1300 to 1600 where a new interest in culture led to changes in art, learning, and views of the world Humanism- is an intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements Secular- means worldly rather than spiritual and concerned with the here and now Patrons- are people who financially support artists Perspective- an art technique that shows three dimensions on a flat surface.

I got my test back and it was basically what I expected. The matching between the kings was the main action that was problematic for me but the rest of the test I did pretty well. After we answered all the questions and I corrected my test, we just worked on our blogs and any other work that we needed to finish. It was basically a little free mod since we had taken the test on the whole unit that w learned when Mr. Schick was out.

I think I did well on most of the matching on the test. Especially with the vocab and people on the first-second pages. The main thing that I didn't know were the rulers like Caligul and Claudius and Nero and Tiberius. I tend to mix up Caligual and Claudius so I know I probably did that on the small matching section on the test. Overall I could have been more prepared, there were parts that I was confident and parts I was not.

The test was rescheduled and we had a day of review. We went over everything in the powerpoint and things that correlate to Mr. Schicks rap. I think if I study the powerpoint and review my blogs that I have been doing for the past 8 classes I will do well on the test. It's a large amount of information and it leads all the way up to Julius Caesar and the triumvirate* which is an important test question. The only thing I would be concerned about tis an essay question because those are usually decide when Mr. Schick is present and it's a topic that we discuss with him, so with his absence, it could be anything from the chapter.

Today, we went over the powerpoint and did a worksheet. We reviewed Ancient Rome and the triumvirate, which is an important test question.

Will the United States fall like the Roman Empire ? The Roman Empire and the United States have many similarities. Roman leaders related to George Washington with their ideals and leadership. The Congress is like the wealthy in Roman times. Both societies attempted to establish checks and balances to avoid giving too government power to one person. The Romans replaced their king who served for life with a system of two consuls elected by citizens. America’s created the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to take away potential abuse of power. With these  similarities  in mind, the question of whether America will follow in Rome's footsteps in present. I don't think it will. A big difference in today's society versus Ancient Rome is technology.   Rome’s entire existence was in an age where tools and weapons were primarily of metal iron. The society was agrarian and the political system was simple. The Romans adopted technologies from their terri...

1. inflation- a drastic drop in the value of money coupled with a rise in prices mercenary- foreign soldiers recruited by the government to fight for money Diocletian- strong-willed army leader Constantinople- city named after Constantine Attila-powerful chieftain 3. The main internal causes of the fall of the Roman Empire were inflation, agriculture problems, and the disarray of the military due to the mercenaries' lack of discipline and loyalty. 4. Diocletian succeeded by ruling with an "iron fist" and fixing Rome's problems. He split the Roman empire in half and ruled the Eastern part. Diocletian also doubled the size of the Roman army. 5. The Germans invaded the Roman Empire because the Huns were invading the Germans and destroying everything so they fled.

Jesus- Jew born in the town of Bethlehem Apostle- 12 men that followed Jesus Paul- an apostle who had an enormous influence on Christianity Diaspora- dispersal of the Jews Constantine- Roman Empire was fighting three rivals for leadership bishop- a priest Peter- apostle who traveled to Rome and became the first bishop there pope-head of the Christian church 3. Jesus emphasized God's personal relationship to human beings in his teachings. 4. Early Christians refused to worship Roman gods. 5. The Nicene Creed defined the basic beliefs of the Church.

Sub Day 4: Comparing Mr. Schicks's rap to the textbook info I will break the rap down and briefly explain what correlates in the textbook to compare. 1. Well, you got the Etruscans and the Greeks But the Latins came first To the shores of the River Tiber They drained a swamp Next thing you know Livin’ in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome Now Tarquin’s kinda proud But he got a little loud They turned around and ran that tyrant outta town Next thing you know No kings no more Happened in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome  The Etruscans were native and they strongly influenced the Romans. Rome grew and was under the reign of Tarquin the Proud. He was a harsh tyrant. The Romans declared he could never be king again. 2. Hey, we got three governments rolled into one Patricians and plebeians havin’ some fun Two consuls gotta be better than one Brand new republic ready to run Democracy Aristocracy Plus monarchy ...
