Today we were greeted with a ten question pop quiz. Mr. Schick said it himself that the test was insultingly easy. This turned out to be true for the most part of the quiz. The only part I had trouble with was the Republican and Democratic states although I got to the bottom of it eventually and one other question. The question asked which state was not a part of the Deep South and the list consisted of Texas, Alabama, Arkansa and Mississippi. I chose Texas because it seemed to have less in common than the others did. As I write this, I have discovered I answered correctly, by double checkoff the Human geography 2017 blog.

Today we received our tests back. There were many scores above the ninetieth percentile warranting an A. I was one of them with a ninety four percent on the test. Mr. Schick said that the test was too easy if the average was an eighty six percent, and in the future he will be making them harder. This is not good. The class was also advised to keep this test as we would see many of these question on the semester one exam.

After we finished checking the tests, we went back to the Slides and we talked about the push and pull forces/factors of why people leave their countries and enter new ones.
Today in Western Civilization we started to present our projects. The group consisting of Chase, Faith, Ellie, and Maddy presented their food first. Next Ben and Owen presented their trireme. Our group was the final to present that day. Here is the final copy of our essay: Frank Cassidy, Vladimir Chervenkov, Dominic Comello and Aiden Stine 3/6/18 Poseidon’s Trident Ancient Greece is replete with many stories of gods and goddesses. Some of the most well known gods and goddesses include Zeus and Aphrodite. Many have also heard of Poseidon. Poseidon is god of the sea. The Ancient Greeks were heavily influenced by their gods. If something went wrong, such as no rain to saturate crops, the farmers would complain to the gods. If something like no rain for a season were to occur then the people would think that the gods had forsaken them and that they had done something wrong. The gods and goddesses could have human emotions like joy and anger. In many aspects, the gods of Ancient...
