Fill in for the entire week

I forgot to blog the entire week, but I thought I should say what happened.

Tuesday:
On Tuesday, we took notes about Rome:

• Ninth century B.C.- Etruscans, Greeks, and Latins move into Italy
• Tiber River in the middle of the peninsula; in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea

City-state and Empire

• Italy and it's people
• Indo-European tribes moved into the Italian peninsula and some settled along the Tiber River, creating the city-state known as Rome
• The Etruscan people, originally from the East, had settled in the North of Italy and were an early influence on the Romans
• Remis and Romulus
• The Roman Republic
• Originally, Rome was a monarchy on the Etruscan model with a council of elders called the "Senate"
• C. 500 BC, the Romans overthrew their monarchy and established a "Republic
• Since the senate was populated only by patricians (aristocratic men), the plebeians (ordinary citizens) fought for a vote in Rome's government
•  Each year the Senate elected two rulers, "consuls", who each served a term for one year
• As in the Greek city-states, the Romans would appoint a single dictator in times on war or conflicts
• 12 tables, sometimes known as 12 tablets
• Res Publica - People's Buisness
• Tarquin the Proud
• ruled from 534-510 BC
• LAST OF THE ROMAN KINGS

After we took all these notes, Mrs. Fogarty called saying Mr. Schick had a visitor.  This is where we met Chi Cago.  He sang us a song about Rome.  Here's a preview from it:

 

 

Wednesday:

On Wednesday Mr. Schick graded all of our papers.  While he was doing that, we got to work on any homework or projects we needed to do.  After he graded them, we got them back.  My group got a 90% on it, which I'm fine with.  Then, Mr. Schick taught us about grammar for the rest of the class.  One mistake that was really stupid was owers instead of ours.  Overall, our class didn't have that many grammar problems.

Thursday:

We went over Chi Cago's song more thoroughly on Thursday.  Then, learned about Tarquin the Proud (notes are above).

Friday:

I wasn't in class on Friday because I was at NDP for a choral festival.
