Blog number 9

In this class I think it was an alright class. I'm not a big fan of social so It was pretty hard for me to get into it. I didn't really like any of the assignments except the one we did on iMovie like the one we just did. That interested me once I started doing it. I didn't like the Vooks it didn't interest me at all.

Blog 9 - Your thoughts on the Rome RAFTs. Did you enjoy your topic? What did you learn about Rome? Other than your own whose RAFT did you like the best and why.

I think this project was more fun and enjoyable then our last assignment, i liked how it was shorter and not so painstaking. I enjoyed my topic, we had a lot of fun doing our silly cooking show. I learned that the Romans liked salt and flavourful food, I also learned a lot about how and when the Romans ate and how they ate according to the amount of money they have. I liked caras because we got food and it was cool how she brought us samples to kinda taste how the food tastes

Blog # 8 PMI of Ancient Rome vs us article

5 interesting;
-Rome was the Superpower of its time, and the United States is the Superpower now.
-The United States is just as dominant- its Military budget is larger than nine other countries put together
-Based on history the Romans understood that the world needed to practice imperialism, namely the art of winning wars and invading territories;
-the Romans had great military strength; and the rest of the World undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Roman as well
-Rome realized that if they were to last as a World power, the Romans had to excel at both the art of winning wars as well as the winning the cultural battle often times found in political circles, considering that the Roman empire spanned continents as well as vast cultural divides
5 positive;
-Military strength is the most obvious similarity
-The Romans had the best training,
-America and Rome have had its share of colonizing and conquering evidenced by their very histories as written throughout the centuries
-Add the United States technological lead, and the United States emerges as a serious superpower without any rivals
-Rome’s greatest conquest was the seduction of its’ peoples
5 negative;
-the United States did not form any type of formal colonies and the Romans always did
-furthermore until this date there has not been any evidence that the United States has deployed any ruling consuls in other sovereign lands
- they also practiced and learned the political tricks that sustained their ability to stay in power of their territories during their reigning period.
-As should be evident, the United States is more Roman then we realize
-today the Americans in the United States are implementing the same tactics without fail, all the while not realizing the Roman "roots" of these tactics

Blog 6 evaluation

I think getting evaluated pretty much just means passing a class to me. It's not even a big deal to me, all I want is to pass. So it doesn't matter to me if I get a good mark or not. My parents want me to pass all my classes so I guess that's why I try to pass. I am smart enough to do really good work but I just choose not to. I'm just really lazy, ever since I got into high school I've just kind of shut down.

Blog 4 - How did your research essay go? What did you learn about writing a formal essay? How was the process? Did you like Google Docs? Give me some feedback on the essay writing process we did. Due April 27

Our research essay went alright, it was boring at times but we got through it. I learned that formal essays are really boring to write. The essay writing process was very long and painstaking. It was very boring. But interesting learning all the things about the Greek

Blog 5 - How did your presentation go? What did you learn about presentating? How was the process? Who do you think had the best presentation and why? Due May 10

I think our presentation went good. I wasn't here but I'm sure sierra and arlette did a great job.

Athena's Dad

The presentation was very useful, and interesting. I learned quite a bit about First Nations people. I enjoyed the presentation.

Geological time

I think we are studying the past because it is important for us to understand what the past was like. The past is a very interesting thing to study. I think it will be a interesting subject to do and find out what people had & how lucky we are now to have everything we have.

Does god exist?

I think god exists because who else would have created the world? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but personally I think god exists because when I pray to him I just feel like he's talking back to me... Like he is actually listening

First impression

When I walked into this room I saw a lot of my friends. I was hoping it would be a fun class but I find it really hard to pay attention. I have mr.vendramin all afternoon so by this class I kind of just zone out when I don't want to. I think this class will be fun once we start doing more fun stuff. I find it a little difficult to keep up with everything. Like all the work can sometimes be overwhelming and very boring.
