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...
The main focus of today's discussion was latitude and longitude. The two terms almost mean the same thing. The only difference between the two is that latitude runs East to West and longitude runs North and South. These lines divide the earth up into a grid like pattern which helps to identify where a certain place or area on the planet. there are special lines of latitude and longitude which can help to further categorize sections of the planet. Examples of these lines include the Equator, the Prime Meridian, the Tropic of Cancer, and the tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic lines are at 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South, respectively. There are also the Arctic and Antarctic circles which are very distant from the equator. The 'highest' and 'lowest' points on Earth are the North and South poles. A probate future test question is "What is the difference between meridians and parallels?" The answer is that parallels, obviously, run parallel to each othe...
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. As we went around the room discussing the answers, Mr. Schick said that the hardest question on the test was the one asking which of the following cities was seventy eight degrees West and zero degrees North/South. I knew there was only one city on the list which was West of the Prime Meridian and it was Quito, Ecuador. 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.
