Movie on Rome

Today in class we watch a very interesting movie on Rome, the movie was mainly based on Tiberius and how he tried to free the plebeians and help them out because they were being treated very poorly by the patricians, or rich people. He stood up for what was right and the patricians didn't want this so in return Tiberius shut down the whole city and put it into a standstill. This was a very smart move by the young Tiberius as they were forced to male a decicion

Rome Movie

Today we watch a movie in class on the great civilization of Rome Under the Leadership of a bad leadership of Tiberius, the people wanted him out because of the forceful leader he was , they really couldn't handle it especially after having his father. In 146 BC in Carthage  it was the end of the 3rd Punic wars. Rome was ordered by their leader for the city to be burned. But after 6 days the Carthaginians rendered. And Rome was able to to take over.Rome demolished the city because they hated Carthage. If it was anything left they smashed it and the 50,000 that remained became slaves of the Roman Empire. And they would rain supreme for the next 600 years. I enjoyed watching this movie because it had a lot of interesting facts that I can actually remember and the pictures and videos of the war were very very vivid which also made it more attractive to watch

Group Work

Today in class we didn't do anything except work with our groups on our projects because Mr. Schick wasn't here. Our group was able to get some solid work done because we split up and assigned what we needed to get done so we can be finished by the weekend and then review the project over the weekend but today once we were done our individual parts we came together because we about to put it all together. I think we are ready to get a good grade because we have came up with a good idea of the program of chariot games

Soft Day

Today in class instead of learning by power points or by notes we visited the main hallway to learn about the achievements and individual accomplishments of people famous in history. The way it worked was as we pressed the button on their should that was attached to them, they gave us a summary of the life the highs and lows of life, how they've develop and what has made them the person they have become today. The people that were more into what they were doing go more people to come to there station. And not only that but we were able to learn better because we were so engaged in what they were doing.
