Project Day #1
Today during class, we got to meet up with our partner to start on our Rome project. My partner is Caitlyn. We are decided that we are going to do two project. Caitlyn and I decided we were going to make a diary. We will make two diary's. One is going to be about a Roman women and the other Roman man. We are going to write about their lifestyle and what they do. We will make them get married and then write about their lifestyle as a married couple. We decided that we are not going to make a song because I couldn't stay after school to practice. Caitlyn really wanted to do it so I changed my mind and also decided to do it with her. I won't practice at school but I can practice at home. I will probably use my violin to play along with Caitlyn. During class, Caitlyn got to start on the lyrics and I started gathering notes for the diaries.

Baltimore Riot
Today during class, we had a discussion about the Baltimore riot that happened yesterday. We took the whole class talking about it. The people in baltimore were looting stores and fighting policemen. They were also burning down buildings. The riot might come to Harford Country. Caitlyn said this and she said she heard it from someone that heard it from their parents. We are not sure if this will happen.

Rome Notes
Rome
- Ninth century - Etruscans, Greeks, Latin
City-State and Empire: The Roman Republic
Italy and Its People
- Remus and Romulus born by a god and a human. They didn't want them so they put them into the Tifris River. A mother wolf took them and raised them. Once they were adults, they were adopted my real people. They grew up and they wanted to build a city. They argued on the location of where the city should be. Romulus kills Remus and Romulus makes his city and names it Rome
- The Etruscan People, originally from the east, had settled in the north of Italy and were an early influence on the Romans.
- The Romans were influenced by the Greek settlements to their south and learned the alphabet.
The Roman Republic
- Originally, Rome was a monarchy on the Etruscan model with a council of elders call the "Senate".
- C.500 B.C., the Romans overthrew their monarchy and established a "Republic"
- Since the Senate was populated only by patricians (aristocratic men) the plebeians (ordinary citizens) fought for a vote for the senate elected two rulers, "conculs" who each serve a term of one year.
- As in Greek city-states, the Romans would appoint a single dictator in time on war or conflict.

Rome Projects!
Today during class, we did nothing but talk about what Rome project we should do. We got to choose what projects we could do. There were many ideas around the room. There were ideas of bringing in a horse, having war with Mr. Teeters class, create a movie, create a clay animation, dress up as Roman gods, make commercials, go on the turf field and have war, create human columns, bring in Roman food, and create bored games. We could also choose what groups we could be in.

Video
Today during class, we had difficulties with the video. The sound wasn't working so we had to use someone else laptop. The video that we watched was about 5 people that were locked inside of a cave and tied onto a bar. They were there their whole lives. The only thing they could see was shadows of figures on a wall. These figures on the wall was clay figures in front of a fire high up so that the the 5 people are able to see the shadows. The 5 people would ask questions and guess what the figures are. One day, there was man that came into the cave and let loose one person. He told that person the truth behind what he was seeing on the wall. He was then free and was able to go out into the world and see what the world was really like. When that person returned to the cave, his eye sight got worse and he couldn't see the shadows clearly like he used to. The others laughed at him and made fun of him.
My thought on the video is that people who are always locked in are not able to learn the truth. Those who go out and look at the world logically, we are able to learn the truth.

Test
Today during class, we took a test on ancient Greek. I thought the test was ok. It was too hard or too easy. There were some questions that I couldn't get. There were also some questions that I knew but forgot because reading the answers got me mixed up. I thought my grade was alright. I also have hope in my essay because our group worked very hard on it. I think our essay will bump up our grades.
