Today in class, we worked on our Google document. We need about 300 more word. i hope the paper gets a good grade because i believe that we worked hard on this paper. I hope MR shick gets home safe and all of our class's papers do well and that its a good week overall. 

Today in west civ. we had our last class with Mr. Schick before he goes on his trip. I hope he travels safely, from now on we have subs which i'm happy about. In class we continued the powerpoint and here are some notes.

• Zeus- ruler of heaven and earth; father of Athena; god of the sky, weather, thunder, lightning, law, order, and justice.
• Had a temper and was known to hurl thunderbolts.
• Athena
• Goddess of wisdom, skill, warfare (and peace), intelligence battle strategy, and handicrafts.
• She was born from Zeus' head fully formed and armored.
• Greeks were certainly a warlike people- especially the Spartans.
• Spartans were known for their tough ruthless infanrry who were soldiers who fought on land. 
• Spartan boys trained from the time they were 7 years of age
• Athens had a great infantry, too, but nothing could come compare with their navy.
• Their most effective weapon was the trireme.
• The Phalanx

Today in Western Civ, we listened to Mr. Schick teach us how to write a good essay. In class, with the same groups that we had for the powerpoint, we have to write a 1000 word essay. This doesn't seem to be that hard, but I'm sure it will be difficult considering my group. 

Yesterday in class, we presented our Google slides presentation. I think we did okay on it. We explained the slides well and moved at a understandable pace. I thought some of the groups did well also. Basically Luke and I did most of the work. Immanuel came late because he had basketball right as we were doing our slides so idk whats going to happen. 

Today in west civ we had our party. It was good but not too many people brought in things which was disappointing I guess but who cares. We started going over the powerpoint again and I learned some very interesting things.

• greece would ostracize people from the land and that was worst then being killed.
• Igoras came to power and then fell when athens trapped him in the acropolis for 3 days before he gave up and fled and was ostracized from athens
• Then Cleisthenes came into power and had a very successful rule. 

Today in west civ we started reviewing the powerpoint again since our slides are due friday. I hope I get a good grade on this project because it could really boost my grade up a lot. On our powerpoint slides I feel that the work was evenly divided. Tomorrow we have a class party and I'm looking forward to that. I hope the presentation goes well and I don't screw it up somehow.

Today in western civ we finished our project. Luke and I finally finished it. Quickely came back today from his basketball tournament. The rest of the class we talked and didnt do much because we finished our powerpoint of the project.
