Today in class we wrote our essays that are part of the exam. We only had 30 minutes to write two essays! We were going to have to write three, but due to the short class Mr. Schick only made us write two. I hope that I do well on the essay portion of the exam.

Today was our first class of the week. We were off yesterday due to Memorial Day. It was nice having a longer weekend. Today in class, we took our big unit test. I wish I had been more prepared because I did not do as well as I had hoped. I thought I knew the material better, but obviously I didn't.

Today in class  we went  over the Rome power point because we have a test on Tuesday.  Mr. Schick told us that we are going to write our essay portion in class next Wednesday because his Academic team is going to Chicago and he will not be able to grade our essays in time.  So, for our exam we will just have the multiple choice questions.  

Today in class we listened to three more presentations. They were all very interesting and very well presented. I enjoyed all three of them. I hope that they all get good grades because they were very well done.

Today in class we saw two more presentations on Ancient Rome. The first presentation was about the ancient baths. This presentation was very interesting and informative. The second presentation was about crucification. This group actually made a large cross and brought it in. I thought it was very creative.

Today in class, some of our class presented their powerpoint. First, there was food and pottery. Then there was a dead mummy face, then Stevie and I presented our project because Jude was not here.

In Todays class, we continued to watch the movie on Tiberius. The rich people were stealing the poor people's land. Then, Tiberius tried to create new laws so that they could get their land back, but the rich got mad and vetoed the laws. Then, the rich people beat Tiberius to death and dumped him into the Tiber River
