Presenting Projects

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we presented our projects that we have been working on. To start of the day the 1st group that presented was the group that made honey cake, bread, and oil (they also served sparkling cider in the place of wine). They then explained how honey and wine were staples in the Greek diet and consumes at almost every meal. After that group, the next group came up and presented their model of a trireme. I found the trireme very interesting because it was used as a battering ram to destroy other ships. It was also rowed by 170 to 180 men across 3 levels on the ship. The model was also pretty cool because Owen included broken ships that it destroyed. After that group it was our turn and we presented our trident and phalanx model. After our presentation the bell rang and ended 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.
