Western Civ

Today in class we had a different schedule because we went to see the play for 20 mins.  After that we came to class and we started with the last to presentation. The first one was Dylan by himself.  I thought he did really good and he was able to explain everything he had.  The only thing I didn't like is that his presentation was really short.  He talked about the democracy in Ancient Greece. Turns out USA is rated number 21 for democracy.  After that we had a group of guys that went up I don't remember everyone in the group.  They did pretty good but they only read off he screen and didn't Really explain anything.  they talked about the the boat that they had in ancient Greece.

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.
