Reviewing for quiz on Monday

-
Today in class we reviewed for the quiz we have on Monday. The quiz is on demographic transitions. We first started class by looking at a demographic transition model and drawing it on a separate piece of paper. This took a little while but it was very helpful. On the quiz, we will have to know which line is the death rate, birth rate, and natural increase line. We will have to fill in a blank demographic transition model. I think the drawing will help me a lot. To study, I will draw the model again and memorize where everything is. After we spent some time drawing, we decided to watch the Khan Academy video. We paused the video when the lady said something important or interesting. I am not very nervous for the quiz on Monday because I think it will be easy. Hopefully I will get a good grade.

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.

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
