Today in Western Civilization we took a test that we have been adding up to for a while now. I mean yeah it was a little difficult. Let us hope it brings up my grade! It is the last mod before SPRING BREAK! so it was a little antsy during the test and it was really quiet, which is weird for this class. I think the test went...... fine. I have really bad testing skills let us just hope yet again !! Everyone was talking about the things they were gonna do during spring break like going somewhere fun.. not me I am just about to have fun and hang around with friends!!! I hope everyone has a fun and chill spring break!!

Today in Western Civilization we listened to Mr. Schick about what was going to be on tomorrows test. I mean i am kind of nervous for it because i havent done the best on the previous tests. So tonight i will study the powerpoint, blog, and the worksheet. IF i look at the stuff i just listed, i may get a good grade. I hope it comes as easy as the questions he asked. I did kind of understood all the things mr. Schick talked about. I just need to go over the vocabulary but i did know some of it. There is 40 questions on the test and he said we went over 30 so lets go and take this!

Section 4 Assesment 1,3,4,5.
1.)
Philip II- he had an army and became king of Macedonia.
Macedonia -located just north of Greece, had rough terrain and cold climate.
Alexander the Great-20 years old when becoming king. He learned how to ride a horse, use weapons, etc. at a very young age. He also learned science, geography, and literature.
Darius III- Persian King, vowed to crush invaders and made an army with over 50,000 and 75,00 men to fight against Darius and his people.
3.)
Athens and Thebes agreed on joining the force to fight Philip but, it was undeniably bad timing and it was too late to put up a fight. Philip conquered them and the Greek independence ended.
4.)
Because he kept on pushing, hoping to reach the farthest edge of the continent.
5.)
Macedonian generals fought amongst themselves for control of his Empire. Eventually, three ambitious leaders won out.
After I finished this, I began working on a little worksheet/homework assignment and am getting things done. yay.

Blog for April 1st
Today in western civilization 2 groups tried to present their presentations. It was kind of a crazy class! We had to grade each other on how well we presented them. Mr. Schick also showed us a video of a horse race. Kylie was distracting me then we got told off hahaha! Today is April fools and I wish we pulled a funny prank or he did. I mean I had fun in class and this class is one of my favorites. Mostly because of how calm and how well we get treated. I am happy we have this class last tomorrow.
