Today are class met in the 3rd floor and when we all got there no teachers were there. So after waiting for about 5 minutes for Mr.Schick to show up we decided to call the office. Then after a little bit some one came down who turns out to be the ref for the powder puff football game. Then once he sat down he told us to work on 15 points about the stuff we had learned. It was a easy activity but it was kind of boring. Then after I finished on the assignment we could work on other stuff so I started homework.

10/18

Today we first started talking about stinkbugs and how they are all over the place. Then Mr. Schick told us about a day where there was like a couple hundred stinkbugs in his wooden stove so he set it on fire and killed all of them. Then we started taking more notes on culture. First was Islam: Muhammad is there central figure who restored teachings of many different prophets like Adam, Abraham, Jesus and others. The holy book is the Koran or Qur'an. There are 1.7 billion Muslims. They are found in Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh  and the middle east. Mecca and Medina is there holy places.They go to Medina to pray which is called Haaj. Buddhism: The central figure Siddharta Guatama who lived in the eastern part of India. He wanted to end all suffering ignorance and craving. There are 376 million Buddhist and they are fond all over the world but especially India. It isn't polytheistic or monotheistic religion. They don't have a holy book but they have the four noble truths and the 8 fold. Hinduism: Is the oldest religon, does not claim any god or profit. There are over 1 billion Hindus and most of them are in India. There sacred text is known as the Vedas.

today in class we first continued taking notes on Mr. Schick's power point about culture and other stuff. Here are my notes: In Yugoslavia many ethnic groups including the Serbs  carts  Bosnian and the Albanians were made in to one country. When leadership dies out the different ethnic groups fight civil wars and get separate countries. Rwanda and Burundi are two different ethnic groups: the Tutsi and the Huts and they persecute each other in there countries. This has lead to constant war between the two ethnic groups. United States and Switzerland have merged multiple ethnic groups. On the other hand Korea and Japan have one primary ethnic group. Religion can be both unifying and dis unifying. Then we talked about something Mr. Schick watched and it was about all these people who were all exactly the same except that some people had different ear lobes then another and it eventually lead to a full out war against each other.

Today the Christopher Columbus group went for there presentation they did. These are the notes I took on it. First he arrived with his crew in America at 1492 still thinking the land he was on is India. He then came and killed many Naive Americans and raped them and took the land for his own. Which answers does he respect the land? And he completed four voyages and sailed  the Atlantic  Then we took notes on Mr. Schicks power point that he did about culture. First he had a soda slide about what Americans call soda. It was like in the north they call it "pop" in the south they call it "coke" and in the east and west it was mostly "soda." I prefer to call it soda but I think it is cool that in different cultures they call things different. Then I wrote in my notes cultural characteristic is a part of a groups everyday life. Some examples are language, religion, ethnic heritage. Then i only got a couple of notes on language an then I had to leave for the orthodontists.

Today in class we started presenting are power points we did in class. My class went first, we were the vikings and my slide was when did the vikings first come to America? The answer I got was the vikings came to America on there long boats at around 1000 A.D. The rest of my group also did a pretty good job with there slides. Next was the group who did the Native Americans these were my notes. The Native Americans arrived in America at least 14300 years ago because they found ancient feces that dated that far back. The people who migrated to America were indo-Europeans. They crossed a land bridge called the Bering land bridge. The Native Americans were indigenous people and they were the first ones. Then the Christopher Columbus group went and I didn't get much notes on them because the class ended.

10/8

Today at class we got a new student who joined us who came here from Nigeria, and his name is mike. He is 7 foot tall and plays basketball which is crazy especially because I am only 5 foot and I look straight up when I talk to him. But he seems like a nice person and is in two of my classes: Human geography and Intro to bible. After that we got are testes back and apparently are group did the best out of everyone and of course I was 1 point off of getting an A because I spelled Christians wrong. Then we formed groups to make  a Google drive presentation about who discovered america. My group got the Vikings and I did the first question that are group needed to answer which was when did they come to America and the answer is around 1000 A.D

Test

Today first we  first studied for 13 minutes then the test finally came after crazy studying.  The test was on the movie we have been watching which was "God grew tired of us". The test did not take that long to finish because it was only a front and back. The test was set up weird, there was just a long paragraph and you had to fill in the answers where the blanks were. When Carly's shadow was reading the answers from what I remember I think I only got 3 wrong. If that is correct then that would mean I did really good. That was pretty much all we did in class

10/4

Today, first we started with meeting the shadow whose name is Delaney and she came from Saint Margret's. Apparently she can do a back flip because she does gymnastics which is pretty cool. Then we started going to peoples websites that we found for helping Sudan. Also Mr. Schick told us that he emailed John Bul Dau about coming to are school and telling us about his experiences. When we looked at John Bul Dau's email reply to Mr. Schick it surprised us because his expenses was 6000-10000 plus flying fees. Which was crazy,  especially because Mr.Schick said he remembered when it was only down at 2000. Then we also looked at Panther who was the guy who is aiming to build a school. Mr. Schick also emailed him about coming to are school and talking about his experiences and what he has been through. I personally think having one of them come down to are school would be truly amazing and something I would remember for the rest of my life.

10/3

Today we first talked about making a difference and doing something about the continuous problem in Sudan. Also we talked about actually doing something not just letting it go and moving on to the next thing. So then Mr. Schick showed us a website that are groups are going to be working on making a site that will help  the problem. I am in a group of 4 with Ben, will, lexi, and Ricky and so far we have got some good ideas posted to the site. I hop are work does not get deleted by some random person but so far it has been good even though it says like 40 other users when are class only has like 25. Also Mr. Schick said he had a problem with the other class with deleting stuff and writing dead puppies which I thought was weird. But apparently he yelled at them a lot.

10/1/12

Today we finished watching "God grew tired of us" these are the notes I got. One of the kids who came to America were reported missing and later found unstable and had to be sent to a mental hospital. Then all of the kids who came to America all came together to try and help the organization for there friends back in Kenya. Daniel wants to build a school back at the camp and marry his girlfriend there. Then John talks to his mother on his phone which makes him feel less stressed. Then he goes around to a couple different states raising awareness and does some speeches to tell the US government to help the Sudan problem. Then then they get news that one of the boys gets reunited with his mother. Then John is talking about he hasn't seen his mother in 17 years and he cant wait to see her. Then he finally sees her and her mother was yelling and so happy she fell on the ground. Then Daniel leaves to marry his girlfriend and make a school. John develops an organization that is going to make a hospital at the camp. Sadly Panther has not found any family members but he has a bachelors degree and a good job in America.
