Officially Starting

Today in class, we officially started Western Civ. We began by assigning permanent seats. I now sit on the opposite side of where I use to sit. After we settled down into our new seats, we began to talk about the homework that was due from last week. We talked about our different views and opinions and whether or not we thought Jared Diamond was on track with his theory. Next, we opened up our marble notebooks that we should have for class and began to take some brief notes on the slideshow we went over that basically summarized everything that we read in the textbook over the weekend. After the note taking, Mr. Schick should us a video from YouTube. The video was with a man named John Green and it was called Crash Course In World History. I thought that this video was very funny but very educational at the same time. John Green was very good at showing both of these because you used aspects that kids of the modern day can relate to but still manages to make it funny and get the gist of educational facts in there. After watching that video once, we went back in for a second time and began to take little notes from time to time. And that was Western Civ. today.
