Today in Western Civ, we took the test on Ancient Rome. I thought it was fairly easy, and am now looking forward to next class where we will write the essays for our exams.

Today in Western Civ, we finished our presentations on Ancient Rome. We also learned that we will be doing a little part of the exam next week, and we will also be doing the Rome Test. All we have to do for the exam is the Scantron.

Today in Western  Civ, we continued to present our projects on Ancient Rome. We were supposed to be first, but we couldn't get our video up and running. So, Chris, Sydney, and Nicole went first and we went right after. Our video turned out to be much worse than expected. I think if we had made a powerpoint or a trifold or something else with the video we would've done much better. Following our presentation were Jack and Colin. They had a really good project, which consisted of many mini-trifolds and a catapult.

Today in Western Civ, we began to present our Ancient Rome projects. The first one was alright, it was a powerpoint with pottery. The second one was a group that handed out pamphlets, which was pretty cool. I thought the final one of the day was the best by far. It was a model of one of the Roman buildings, and a trifold with loads of information on it.

Today in Western Civ, we watched the end of the video about Ancient Rome. Tiberius Gracchus was beat to death by the senate because they didn't agree with him. He wanted to give the people of Rome their land back, which was taken by the rich.

Today in Western Civ, we continued to take notes on Ancient Rome. Rome, at one point, was ruled by the rich doing basically whatever they wanted. They would take land from the poor because they knew nobody would do anything about it. In all honesty, there wasn't a whole lot they really could do. Most of it was definitely not fair. Nobody could find a job. This was for the simple reason that all the slaves already were doing the work. So, why pay someone to do it when you could basically force the slaves to do it? The men were out of work until the army needed war again. That was when they were finally employed.
