Pop quiz

Today we start of the class with a pop quiz. Which I did bad on it. Then Mr Schick start talking about why don’t we take notes from our computer.He gave us 3 reasons for it. We talk about Cleisthemes and Democracy learned some information about him. Cleisthemes did a great thing in my opinion because he called 500 citizen and ask them about the laws but too bad that he don’t recognize the value of womens. We talk about rights of women the driving news that is going on in Saudi Arabia. We saw the new form of government back in Greece and it was like that.

We see that Cleisthemes laws started to shape democracy and then we hade a brake and talk about it more about Cleisthemes and it was over

1st Day, new class

Today was my first day at my new class, Western Civilization. I met with Mr. Schick for the first time and I like the class so far and the teacher, he seems like a fun teacher but I think he is going to give us lot of homework. Anyways, today the new students, which including myself, opened up our blog and share the link with Mr. Schick and he tells us about what are we going to do in this class how the things works, he go over some rules and told us about the seat changes. So I hope that it will be a fun class to join. Looking forward to it.
