We have a test on Friday

-
Today in class we went over the population test. I got a 95 on the test. I only got two questions wrong. These were questions that I struggled with on the test. The first question that I got wrong was about ranking certain countries net migration rates from least to greatest. The second question I got wrong was: If a country's net migration rate is a (blank) number, then more people are leaving the country than entering. I put positive, but the correct answer was negative. I don't really know why I put positive. I guess I didn't read the question correctly. After we reviewed the test, Mr. Schick told us we would be having a test on Friday. The test would be on the five most popular religions in the world: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. At the end of class, we started taking notes on Christianity, but we did not get any further than that.

Here is my paragraph: Pericles was a man who led Athens through much of its Golden Age. He ruled from 461 to 429 B.C.E. This period of time is often called "The Age of Pericles" because of his dominate rule. He had three goals for Athens. He wanted to strengthen Athenian democracy, hold and strengthen the empire, and, finally, to glorify Athens. In order to strengthen democracy, Pericles introduced direct democracy. In direct democracy, the "regular" people of Athens ruled directly and not through representatives. These citizens (all males) that were apart of the direct democracy made many government polices and rules that affected all of Athens. After the Athenians defeated the Persians, the Athenians made the Delian League. Athe...

Ancient Greece Haiku

-
April is national poetry month! In this blog, Mr. Schick wanted us to write a poem about ancient Greece. I chose to write Haiku. They are short and fun. It is challenging to make sure that the correct amount of syllables are in each line, but I like writing them. Anyways, here are my Haiku. Best Buddies Alex sees his horse An instant connection forms  Inseparable Follow the Rules Hammurabi's code Make sure you don't steal cabbage....

Essay Question

My essay question would be, "Describe the ways that Greek theater that has influenced today's movies, plays, and TV shows." In the intro paragraph, I would introduce my topic and some basic background on ancient Greek theater. I would introduce the ways that Greek theater has influenced today's movies, plays, and TV shows. In the first body paragraph, I would explain how Greek tragedies influence modern movies today. I would give an example or two. Next, for my second body paragraph, I would introduce comedies. I would describe how Greek comedies influence our TV shows today. I would also give another example of a TV show/movie and go into greater detail. For my last body paragraph, I would explain how the theatron influenced plays on Broadway. For example: the orchestra. Finally, for my conclusion, I would repeat the ways that they have influenced our entertainment today (through tragedies, comedies, and the theatron.) I would explain how our movie/play/TV show enter...
