Review Day

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took a vote on when we want to take the second Ancient Greek test. The options were either to take the test tomorrow and be done with it to enjoy our Spring Break, however, if we fail it could be catastrophic to the enjoyment of our Spring Break. The other option was to take the test the first day when we come back from break. We all voted to take the test on the day we come back from breaks in order to have more time to study. After the vote we reviewed Alexander's museum and the art and culture of Alexandria. Alexander had a small observatory in his museum where astronomers studied the stars and planets. Eratosthenes was an astronomer who determined that the Earth was round and what the actual size was. Many great astronomers studied here and made ground-breaking discoveries to boost science. After this 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.
