A Pop Quiz

-
We had a Pop Quiz today in Western Civilization, this is not what I expected nor what I wanted. After the first quiz which I had planned for, Mr. Schick instantly pulled this next one out. I was prepared though, meaning, I did do a fair job on both quizzes. On the first quiz, the planned one, I probably got in the 90's, the only area of uncertainty on that quiz was the ages of advancement, which I was not aware would be on the quiz, I should have expected it though. With those Age questions, luckily they were multiple choice which means I took an educated guess and have about more than a 50/50 chance of getting them correct. Besides that, it was a regular class and we spent the ending of it with the pop quiz which, yet again I feel mediocre on. I am preparing for the test which was announced today to be on Friday (likely). I am doing so by creating a QUIZLET, which I know has some unique power within our Western Civilization class.

That concludes the February 4th Blog Post, Till next time!

An Essential Map Guide

Today we focused on the key question of what truly makes up Human Geography. It is incredible the depths you can go to while exploring each branch. First of all, Human Geography deals with the study of all aspects of life from the Environment all the way to the Economy of certain regions and countries. With that said, a point was made today that we can learn quite a lot by looking at thematic maps  which can chart anything about a general area such as it's average citizen energy use or maybe their calorie intake per day. By comparing certain areas you can sometimes see substantial differences which can assist in researching geographic issues such as an influx of population or even a lack of exercise. While thematic maps can be useful for gathering data, they may not give you the landscape or the climate of a general area as a Physical Map  would. Physical Maps are great for researching and discovering parts of either your region or world that you didn't know about. Last but...

As discussed yesterday, we were instructed to write an essay question which would be used on the upcoming test. As a matter of fact, we were informed that our test (or at least part of it) is going to be during our class time this Thursday. Meaning we have a fair amount of time to study still; though, we expect to receive more information regarding the format of the test soon. My essay question and explanation is as follows: As we discussed in class, Socrates was a man of austere philosophy and even gave his life for his beliefs. With that said, write a five-paragraph essay explaining the life Socrates, how, and why he was put to death. Starting with your first paragraph, describe the Socratic Method and some possible ways we see it reflected in our world today. For your second paragraph, describe Socrates' nature (personality) based upon how he thought, acted, taught others. And In your third paragraph, give a general overview of Socrates' crimes and how they contradict...

After several blogs discussing the COVID-19 Pandemic (a very serious subject), it seems that we're getting back to our Greek curriculum. To begin, we read about the Greek Theater, more specifically their Drama and History themes. Both of which withhold very unique aspects and characters; for instance, a tragedy would normally be a serious drama with a character with extraordinary abilities and personalities (such as excessive pride). After reading, we were instructed to answer several questions with an in-depth analysis. The questions are listed, answered, and reviewed below:   1.) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  Similar to the dramas of today, Greek entertainment seemed to focus on two central themes: Tragedy and Comedy . Both of these themes seemed to have perks of their own depending on the type of entertainment you desired; though, possibly more interesting was the vast content that was categorized under e...
