1st day of western civ

today was the first day of western civilization. Mr. Schick had us in produce ourselves and then assigned us our seat. I was told to sit in the third seat next to the window. We started talking about some of the classroom rules and regulations. one rule is that we have to put our phone in the phone holder so we don't get distracted during class time. there was a large book on my desk that was titled Ancient World History. Mr. Schick told us that we are never going to take this book home it is always going to be on our desk. we are also required to get a comprehension book for the class by friday in class. we will take our notes in our comprehension book which will then be interpreted into our blogs. our blogs have to be 150-200 words and have our information. sometimes he might let us use our blogs on the test or quiz. i am looking forward to western civ this semester.

1) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  the Greeks wrote two kinds of drama, that included comedy and tragedy. tragedy was a serious drama about common themes like love, war, hate, and  betrayal. the main person was someone usually of importance. comedy was filled with humor. it was used to make fun of higher people and politics.  b. Describe the similarities between an ancient Greek production and a film you have seen recently. The Greek production – and the film – can be either a comedy or a tragedy. i am picking the movie Romeo and Juliet. this movie was based on a play that was written in the 1500's. it is a tragedy about a girl and boy who fell in love but their families hate each other. the greeks loved their plays, they put much thought into their plays.  3) Find an online image of a theater from ancient Greece, post it to your blog, and describe it in a few sentences. https://images.app.goo.gl/1rStsTcXPPssUCMN6

we are facing a world crisis right now. saying that we have all taken precautions and merged to online schooling. this is the third week in cyber schooling and we are still facing difficulties and interruptions. it is hard to sit down in the comfort of our own homes and push ourselves to do our schoolwork. not only is there difficulties our workload feels like it has doubled. it is much harder to not be able to ask our teacher questions face to face or make our work easier by taking the shortcut. there are many pros and cons to online learning. the hardest parts for me is to actually start my work, when i wake up i don't want to do schoolwork but once i start it gets easier. my favorite part of this is that i can work at my own pace during the day and do what classes when i want to. i can definitely tell which classwork is easier to do on my own and which classes are not so easy on my own. it has been a struggle these past few weeks for everybody, but there is always a way and we c

Bucephalus and Alexander were  inseparable. they were best friends. Alexander was the only one person who could ride this horse. he rode this horse everywhere and all the time, into every single battle he has been through. Alexander got this horse at age 12 or 13 by wagering with his father. a horse dealer offered this horse for 13 talents, which is remarkably high.  Bucephalus was a huge black stallion, who was known to be untamable until Alexander came along. he turned the horse away from his  shadow so he didn't have to see. saying that Alexander was the only one who could tame him shows how close of a bond they have, horses put lots of their trust into their owner if they are worthy enough. when Alexander was older he was away on an  excursion and someone kidnapped  Bucephalus. he died 326 BC and Alexander named a city after him.
