Human Geo Class

Today in class we started off with looking at our blogs.  My teacher showed us everyones blogs and things they can change to make them better.  Then my teacher helped the people who could not set it up so they could do their blogs for the night.  Then you told us about how it was good to have an open mind about peoples beliefs and how not to judge.  After that you gave us our class syllabus.  We went over the grading system.  Our test count for 100% test, quizes are 50%,  exams are 20%.  After that you told us about your cell phone policy.   You told us how you wanted us to leave are cell phone in the basket when you walk in class and pick it back up at the end. You also said that you didn't want us to have games on are computers, and you did not want us to play on them in class.  If we do play the games on are computer or get on our phones in class we get detention. We went over our next time we meet, which is Friday, and we will have a sub for that class.

Yesterday in class we didn't do much. We went over one of are old test that we had.  I got a 78% o it so I think I did ok on it.  After that we took the test that we would of took if we would of voted to have a test Friday.  It was that hard but I didn't want to risk having a test and the failing it and my C go down.  After we finished it you gave us the answers so we can review for the exam.  I really want to get my grade up for western civ because it is at a 79.12% and I really want a B so I can get all B's on my report card.

Yesterday in class we went over the power point and had someone in the class take notes on the board and we would all copy it.  I found it a lot more interesting then the other power points we have been doing because it talked about how they started to care about art, mathematics, and literature again. And also starting to look back at Rome and Greece and see how they did things.  It talked about a lady that was very Richard care about art and a lot of other things.  She would pay the artist to paint her or paint something she would want and there would put her in the back round.  For examples she asked Leonardo da Vinci t paint the nativity and put her in the back ground. If it wasn't for her we would not ave know a lot of these artist would have even existed.
