Today we told Mr. Schick at what project we picked to do for our big Ancient Rome project. Stevie, Jude, and I picked to build an aqueduct. An aqueduct is a conduit or artificial channel for conducting water from a distance, usually by means of gravity. This should be a fun project and I hope to do well.

Today in class, we talked about the riots in Baltimore. We all were able to share what we thought about it and have input of our own. We all talked about how bad this is for the city. I hope that the city will be able to rebuild itself. We also take about how the riots might come to Bel Air. I hope that they don't!

Today in class we were given four different topics to research. The four topics were the Coliseum, Circus Maximus, the Roman Forum, and the Aqueducts. The Coliseum was officially known as the Flavian Amphitheater. It was the largest amphitheater in the Roman world. The Coliseum could seat more than 50,000 spectators. The building began in 72 AD and took 9 years to build.  

Today we started off by reviewing the notes. We review the notes on Ancient Rome and learned a fe new things. Then I answered the phone and the caller said that Mr. Schick had a special guest. So, he left the room and said he was going to get the guest but just changed into his rapper self; Chi Cago. He sang a rap about Rome to the flo rida song beet. It was very funny but very educational. It was very funny!

In today's class, we talked more about Rome from the Power Point Slides. We talked about the Rome and their great Expansion. We learned that Rome was a military culture. Rome made  improvements to the Greek tactics which made their armies more nimble and effective. Rome was almost taken over by elephants but in the end they lost. Rome conquered this neighboring territory, and forced the people to be part of rome and live in the city. 

Today in class we got our papers back. My group did very well. Then we started our ancient rome notes. Mr . Schick went over the powerpoint and taught us about Rome. I learned many new things.

Today in class we got into groups and brainstormed about a project for ancient Rome. My group is Stevie and Jude. We are probably going to make an Aqueduct. I hope to do good on it!

Today in class Mr. Schick showed us the movies that he helped produce. I knew a few of the movies. He got to meet many famous actors such as Morgan Freeman. Then we watched a short film but we didn't get to finish it.

Today was our first day back from spring break. All we did today was review our test. I was very tired because I haven't woken up early all spring break. I hope to learn some new things before our school year ends.

MR. SCHICK IS BACK! but sadly we had a test. Luckily I thought the test was fairly easy and I think I did good! I am happy because this is our last day of school for a while.
