Political Regions

              Today in the marvelous Honor's Human Geography class with Mr. Schick I made up the pop quiz that I missed. Mr. Schick took a desk out into the hallway for me where I took the pop quiz left handed. I did alright on it, I got an 85%. Once I came back in most of Mr. Schick's lecture was over, but I was still able to get notes on regions. Mr. Schick taught us that regions can be really big or really small, there are several neighboring counties in the world that share similar features, and that there are many localities within one particular country. After this, we did an activity on states and for which parties they voted for in the past elections. After studying how the states voted each election, we made regions for how they vote in elections. After this, the bell rang and ended today's class.

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
