pop quiz

Today we had a pop quiz on the slide shows we looked at yesterday. I got a 6/10 because someone threw my pencil across the room and I missed the first question. The question was easy, I got it wrong because I did not hear it and I was not allowed to look at it again because Mr.Schick said one time only. I was quiet mad for the rest of the day. After the quiz we went over the slide we looked at yesterday as a class and Mr.Schick told us how he almost became a priest.

finishing Jesus

Today Mr. Schick was not in class because he went to a debate thing. He left us to finish the power point he started yesterday on Jesus in Roman times. There were only a few slides left so it was not hard. Then we started a slide on Christianity during Charlemagne, this was about how Christianity came to the power it was during the middle ages. Most people were not in major empires after the Roman empire fell, they were living on manors. Manors were where one rich person lived with their families and had a little group of people outside that do anything from serving the rich to farming. This was how everyone lived around Europe, most people did not read or write and only worried about themselves not the group. The church took advantage or this by saying to the rich owners you need a church in your town for all of your people and you.

Jesus

Today we talked about Jesus and how he was depicted in early art. The way we see Jesus today with the long hair, blue eyes, and long beard is not completely accurate. He has more black hair, short hair and beard, tan, and brown eyes. We also talked about how the Romans blamed the Christians for everything that was going wrong in their empire the last 300 years. In the year 313 AD the roman empire officially recognized Christianity as a religion. This came after a kings wife who told him to pray to God before a battle in which he later won. after the battle he was a believer and wanted to find out more about the religion.

Medieval times

Today Mr. Schick was not at school so we read a few pages on Medieval times. I really enjoy learning about Medieval times and the Renaissance so I can't wait to start talking about it in class.

test look over

I got a 67 on the Rome test, that was way lower then I thought it was going to be. We went over the test and some of the questions I got wrong I was wondering why I put the answer I did when I knew the right answer. I will now have to work really hard to get my grade back up to where I want it.

test

Today we took a test on Rome, I think i did well but i was a little rushed because Mr. Schick came in late. I don't think I got an A on the test but I don't think I failed. Our next unit it Medieval times.
