Today in Human Geography class we finished the power point presentation on Grids and time zones. Today we focused mainly on Longitude. I learned that the lines of longitude are known as meridians. The meridians are all equal in length and they are halves of great circles. We also talked about how Eratosthenes was the first person to ever attempt to draw out a map. We learned about all of the significant parallels of latitude also. We also turned on the lights for the first time in class!! We have a map test tomorrow on North and Central America countries and South America countries.

Rome by Chi Chicago

Today in Western Civ. class we listened to a song called Rome that was written by Chi Chicago. I thought it was really funny and a really catchy song. It made today's lesson really fun because it was really different from what we are used to be doing in Western Civ. class. The song had a lot of good information about Rome in it that I heard which was really cool. I really liked today's Western Civ. class.

Greece Philosophers

Today in class we talked about greek philosophers such as Socrates and Plato. We learned all about socrates rule and how he wanted to hear everyone's side of the story. We spent most of the class discussing our opinions of same sex marriage. Some people were for it and some were against it. There was a lot of disagreements and many different opinions on it throughout the class. Mr. Schick was playing the role of socrates throughout the whole time we were talking about it. We then ended the class talking about Plato. I looked ahead and we only have two more slides left of the powerpoint. It seems like it has gone on forever. This is what we did in Western Civilization class.

Accountability

Cyber School is definitely a huge change in all of our lives especially because I have never been homeschooled in my life. I have never had to experience something like this. It almost feels unreal. Cyber school in my opinion is a lot harder than live school. Math is really hard to keep up with because we can't really have a one on one conversation with our teachers if we have questions. All the teachers really can't give that much work because it should only take us 55 minutes to complete. I feel bad for all of the seniors because they might not have their senior prom which is really sad because that is what you usually look forward too. It is also hard for all the teachers to really teach a lesson and it's harder for me to pay attention because there are so many distractions around.
