Finished the Movie

Today in Western Civ. we finished the first part of the movie. There were only 14 animals that would help to forge powerful nations with 13 coming from Europe, Asia, and north Africa. Only one came into South America and that one was the llama. Then we continued to talk about the effects of their food sources that helped some people to become specialized in certain areas. Such as basket weaving, blacksmithing, and tailoring. Since today was a shortened class we did not have too much time to continue the video as far as we would have on a regular day. We had some snow in class and Mr. Schick said that we would not get out early but we actually did.
