Greek question paper

Today in west civ we checked the answers on the greek question paper. I only found a few of them in the video so I filled out the rest of the answers. Some of the questions that I got today were- a notion of excellence and virtue; the act of living up to one's full potential, that was arête. One that I did have was- he composed the amazing stories The Iliad and The Odyssey, the answer was Homer. There were a lot of questions and we got through all the ones that we have learned about so far.

Finally Shared the commercial

Today in west civ me and Logan shared the commercial. After that we talked about Oedipus Rex, this weird play that the Greeks used to preform. It is about this guy that was told by mind reader, fate teller that he would kill this father and marry his mother. He ran away to a different town so he could not do these things. Later he had a fight on the street with an old man who turned out to be his father, he beat him up and killed the old man without knowing it was his father. Even later he met an older woman who he fell in love with and married, he later found out that it was his mother. He did not want to see people on the street making fun of him so he stabbed both of his eyes. Pretty weird story.

Sharing The Commercials

Today in west civ we shared our commercials, they were all very good. Everyone shared except me and Logan because my email was not working and I could not get it to send. I was finally able to get it to send to Logan tonight, so we will have to share tomorrow. I really liked all the presentations on the movie maker, which I was not able to use because that would not work on my computer either.

The Day With Mr. Perry

Today in west civ Mr. Schick was not there so and we had Mr. Perry as a sub. He was not as loud as he usually is so I was able to get something done. After I was done with the video I did some work on the slide show/ commercial.  I answered some of the questions on the paper. We did not do a whole lot but I got some work done on the commercial so that was good.

commercial work

Today in west civ we worked on our commercials, mine and Logan's was not working on movie maker so we have to do it on power point. Luckily we had not had much done yet so we will not have to redo much. The movie maker app kept freezing up and I was not able to do any work on it. Tomorrow we will have Mr. Perry as a sub because Mr. Schick is going with the seniors.

More of the video

Today in West civ we continued to watch the video. It is a very interesting video, it was cool to see how the Spartans lived compared to the Athenians. We still took notes on what we saw and we answered the questions. I started the video thing, we are doing ours on Athens. One I got into it I saw that it was not so hard and plus we have the weekend now so we have more time.  

short class

Today in west civ we watched a video on Athens. We did not get through the whole thing because we were 2 hours late. It is a cool video, it was cool to see the mountain thing that they built the city on. We got a sheet that has a lot of questions on it. The answers are in the video so we have to finish that to get the correct answers. We really did not do a whole lot so that's all for today.
