Essays for Exams Finished!

In class on Thursday we finished the written part of our West Civ exam. Let me tell you I have never written any paper faster than I wrote those three essays. I studied my outlines really hard the two nights before so I think I got everything in that I wanted to say. I wrote a pretty good amount for each of the essays especially essay C that took up two pages for me. I wrote them just like Mr Schick instructed with a introduction, body, and conclusion paragraph. Mr Schick will also be proctoring our actual exam for West Civ on Wednesday so I'm hoping that goes just as well as the essays did. Well I have to go study for the next few days for my up coming exams. Sleep is for the weak.

Essay Preparation

I did not write for my blog last night because I was so busy studying for the essay we have to write in class today. I'm very nervous considering we only have 48 minutes to write three topic three paragraph essays. I'm gonna get back to studying now but hopefully it goes all well today.

Essays and Makeups

I have been out of classes lately due to my upcoming surgery as soon as school ends so its a very busy time for me right now. As of now I'm trying to write my outline for the essay for west civ on Thursday so I'm prepared. Tomorrow I will be making up the test I missed today on ancient Rome. I think I'll be studying most of tonight and throughout the day tomorrow. I think I'll be pretty prepared.

Exams Exams and More Exams

Friday we talked a lot about what would be on the final exam for Mr Schick's class. He told us that he is traveling to "Chi Cago" the day after exams end so he doesn't want to have to grade our essays from our exams on his trip there. So in that case we are writing our exams essays in class on Thursday. I am nervous about it because I'm feeling like I won't be able to finish it in time but I will try to make a great outline at home. Hopefully everything goes alright for the exams even though I'm extremely nervous as always.

Our Presentation

We heard a presentation on pottery and gladiators until it go to our presentation! I think my group did great and our project turned out exactly as we wanted. The powerpoint was great then we had some people play the game and they all liked it. Everyone said it was a great review game for the test which has been postponed to Tuesday. I'm very happy about it and can't wait to be finished this year!

More and More Presentations

Today we saw three more presentations for the Ancient Rome projects. First up was Jayla who made really great authentic Roman Pottery. I thought it was really well made and it seemed like she knew a bunch about the project and really answered questions nicely. Then Arthur and Alex showed us all about Roman architecture through an amazing lego model! Then Kaitlin and Trish read us their awesome diaries from Ancient Rome. The storyline was absolutely and made it feel like it was really a true story in Rome. I'm excited to present tomorrow!

Projects to Present

Today we started presenting our creative Roman projects in our first mod hour! We had a lot of time so we had 3 groups present and to our luck we had Veronica, Zaire, Rosemary, and Megan serve us a real patrician style 4 course meal! The salad was very different but tasted very vibrant and the pasta was amazing (I had 4 servings). The desert was an old style cheesecake and had a very unique but good taste just like the cinnamon apple juice. Then we had one group show us a remake of a song called Fancy and made it about Rome and it was hilarious and very informational. Then we watched David's well prepared powerpoint and that was the end of class. I'm very excited to finish my project and see everyone else's tomorrow.
