Notes on Greece

Today in Western Civ. with Sir Robert Shickolas we talked more about ancient Greece. We talked about how they went through many rulers and while some were just others were very harsh. Sometimes you could even be put to death without a trial. They came up with voting and they came up with fair rulings. The first ever revolt was in 508 B.C.

Greece

Today in Western Civ. with Sir Robert Shickolas we continued to take notes on Greece. Sir Robert Shickolas displayed a power point and we took notes. We also talked about how women should have a punishment for falsely accusing a person of rape or sexual assault. I believe that women who do this should suffer the same punishment of the accused and they should owe them a certain amount of money. People's live's can get ruined by something like this and then the women walk away scotch free.

Notes

Today in Western Civ. we took notes on the textbook. Sir Robert Shickolas had to help some people with cameras. We also went on in class and took notes on the power point.

Quiz

Today in Western Civ. we took a quiz. I thought that the quiz was semi hard but you did let us use our blogs. Some of the questions were harder than others. One question that I thought was hard was what is the theocracy that the ancient Egyptians believed in. I believe that the answer was the pharaoh. Another question that I thought was tough was where the nile river flows into. I think that overall that this test was not to hard but also not to easy. 

Notes for quiz

Our Generation

Today in Western Civ. with Sir Robert Schickolas we discussed the quiz we will have tomorrow. We also had a long conversation on how our generation is failing because of the internet. Mr. Schikolas also yelled at us because people were using the bathroom instead of asking questions.
