These seem to be three good sources we could use in class because they give us adequate information that could be beneficial to learning about Rome. I think knowing the who, what, when, where and why when studying ancient Rome is vital to remembering all the information. There is a lot to learn about Rome, but some things from ancient rome actually come from ancient Greece. I am looking forward to exploring these sources for information on ROME!!McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-22370414227472683922011-05-16T08:45:00.000-07:002011-05-16T08:45:08.236-07:00Rome 1<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">1.Landowners who controlled the government through inherited positions were patricians.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Are you looking for love? But not really interested in a commitment? Well then you should consider Aphrodite’s Speed dating! It will be hosted at Dionysus Winery on the third Saturday of every month from 7 to 9 pm. You must be single to attend. Here is how it works : there will be a series of 5 minute rounds where you and a member of the opposite sex will converse with one another. At the end of the five minutes either the males or females will rotate to the next table and the pattern will continue until everyone has met. If there is a guy/ girl you found interesting you may retrieve their number from them and plan a second date or do with it as you please. If not you only wasted five minutes of your day. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Come out for a good time with good wine and a chance to meet the “one”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0.25in 0in;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I chose this picture to represent the Greek chapter because The Greek gods are the most well known part of ancient greece. I chose Zeus because he is the most powerful god and represents the strength of all the gods and their own specific power. I would say that without the greek gods of ancient greece the other gods would not have become what they are. Each one experiences thier own self power and that is why this picture is so fitting for this chapter.</div>McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-55613424533525201022011-03-28T17:03:00.000-07:002011-03-28T17:03:15.884-07:00Greek 51. Democracy<br />
2. Architecture<br />
3. Philosophy<br />
4. Math <br />
5. Science<br />
<br />
I chose these five achievements because four of the five are what our modern society is based on. A lot of the professions today are what they are because they have rooted from basic maths and sciences. Our government is all democracy! Well it may not be the same as the ancient greeks democracy it has formed from certain methods they used back then. Some buildings, even some more modern buildings, follow certain structural values as the greek architecture. It is beautiful the way the greeks sculpted buildings and made them more like pieces of art. They gave us the techniques and foundation on which to build up new cities and structures. I basically chose these five things because they seem to be the most influential on our modern day society.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-26488578604666159332011-03-28T08:42:00.000-07:002011-03-28T08:42:49.713-07:00Greek 3<table><colgroup><col span="4" style="mso-width-alt: 5302; mso-width-source: userset; width: 109pt;" width="145"></colgroup><tbody>

<br />
I originally started using Empressr, but HATED it. So instead I made a Prezi. I am used to using Prezi because I have used it for other assignments in different subjects. At first it was confusing but once I got the hang of it, it was easy! I wouldn't use it again though unless I absolutley had to because it is time consuming if you aren't tech saavy.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-33549696235435628892011-03-23T08:58:00.000-07:002011-03-23T08:58:46.411-07:00Greek 2Sparta and Athens were both similar yet different. They shared the same form of government, known as an Assembly, by which the people voted for its members. Except Sparta was ruled by 2 kings, that ruled until they died or were forced out of office. And Athens was ruled by Archons who were elected on a year to year basis. Spartan life was simple and Athenian life was a "creative wonderland" so to speak. Spartans focused on obedience and war, whereas Athens you were able to get a good education and pursue a career in any art or science.Fighting in wars was mandatory for the Spartans but Athenians had the choice on whether or not they wanted to. As you can see, the two city states were more different then they were similar.<br />

<br />
I would honestly prefer to live in Athens because it is more relaxed and easy going. Also Athens allows people to express their creativity and discover their true passion without being forced to fight a war or being prevented from discovering their full potential.

<br />
I think that Timeline 2 would be a better addition to our textbook because it gives more detail about each event. Also with the first timeline it only gives you the general events. The second timeline allows you to see the general and get some background as well. But it is also beneficial to have the second one because it includes more events than the first one. We could benefit from the second one because of what information it supplies us with.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-15962987576419202102011-03-03T08:14:00.000-08:002011-03-03T08:14:45.614-08:00Post 11- Curiosity Killed the CatI am interested in finding out about what the Egyptians know as far as the human anatomy and nutrition goes. I am going to research how they knew what to eat and what would nourish their bodies. Then I am going to find out how their diet was influenced by their class, whether they were considered to be royalty or whether they were the lowest in society. If they were in the lowest class I want to inquire if they had more illness and disease because they couldn't get the better end foods. Whereas we could assume that in the higher classes they get the best of the best, so disease would be unlikely.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-46681281790526690572011-02-22T19:33:00.000-08:002011-03-07T08:32:52.094-08:00Post 8- And the award goes to....And the award for most important empire goes to the Sumerians. <br />

Although the Sumerians built their empire by tearing down the empires of others, they succeeded in perfecting the ideas of others and building upon those ideas. Without the Sumerians, other civilizations would not have learned how to prosper and survive the cruel intentions of other civilizations.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-49790675267833434082011-02-22T19:06:00.000-08:002011-03-07T08:32:37.436-08:00Post 7- Northern gets laws?..what?<u>Northern's Hammurabi Code of Laws</u><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">1: If a man be guilty of incest with his daughter, he shall be driven from the place (exiled).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> - It is so extremely wrong to have "intimate relations" with your daughter and if I could decide the punishment I would rule the death sentence for this law because it is just so terrible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">2: If he break another man's bone, his bone shall be broken.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;"> - This is simple, don't do to others that you wouldn't want done to you. So if you don't want your arm broken don't go break someone else's arm. It should be enacted because then people wouldn't do such stupid things. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">3: If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> - Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. We sort of do enact this law only with a less harsh punishment. But the truth is that people commit crimes thinking they will get away with it. If they get caught, they have to be able to face the consequences.</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">4: If any man, without the knowledge of the owner of a garden, fell a tree in a garden he shall pay half a mina in money. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;"> - This is like the second law I picked. Only it was an accident, so therefore it is fair that the person pay for the damage to be fixed but that be the only punishment. It would be unnecessary to enforce a harsher punishment.</span><br />
<br />
5: If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death.<br />
-It is just wrong to steal anything from a religious place of worship and same goes for the justice system. I don't know if death is the appropriate punishment for something that isn't the most extreme. But I would definitely enforce a punishment for the crime.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-81793827595672379022011-02-21T18:29:00.000-08:002011-03-07T08:32:07.988-08:00Post 5- Fertile Crescent = MOST AMAZING PLACE ON EARTH!Dear Devil Lady, <br />
There is no better place on Earth then the Fertile Crescent! With an outstanding irrigation system from the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, our agriculture is most abundant and nothing surpasses our civilization. This is home to us. We established our form of writing, known as Cuneiform. Our education has excelled since we have created our writing system. Not only that but our religious beliefs are more advanced than any civilization around and our extensive list of Gods is top notch. What does the Indus River Valley offer us that the Fertile Crescent hasn't already provided our civilization with? We would never consider leaving this place... not for anything!McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-61075788236237631092011-02-21T18:02:00.000-08:002011-03-07T08:31:46.764-08:00Post 4- Attention: Sumerians!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2SF_DuiV8711L9t7yIkM8XL-mYHuQBBCgnMNFhED2qOzHhpaPNekssCklTOpUUgE1o-lLXe3Rl5cJ1Sacz13t6rSxLSdKN18qu8cZC95VqZDNcRk_MtkOxz4XYSqFFKMKKhrxYZvqI8/s1600/indus%252520river%252520valley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy2SF_DuiV8711L9t7yIkM8XL-mYHuQBBCgnMNFhED2qOzHhpaPNekssCklTOpUUgE1o-lLXe3Rl5cJ1Sacz13t6rSxLSdKN18qu8cZC95VqZDNcRk_MtkOxz4XYSqFFKMKKhrxYZvqI8/s320/indus%252520river%252520valley.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>Dear Sumerian People,<br />
The new hot spot that everyone is talking about is the Indus River Valley!! Because of the abundant water supply, agriculture is prosperous. The river valley is also surrounded by mountains which makes for better protection if an attack of war were to break out. The mountains also prevent diseases from entering the valley and creating a problem amongst the people in the civilization. Provided is transportation by early forms of boats and carts as well as the availability of fresh crops such as wheat, barley, rye, cotton, and domesticated animals. Our irrigation system exceeds all expectations of other civilizations as well as our own expectations. Housing though is simple and ideal, but sometimes even luxurious. All houses have access to the water and are completely accomodating to all families. If this isn't convincing enough to get you to come to the Indus River Valley then I dont know what is! So come and prosper!McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511786427719759574.post-49703388027475195322011-02-10T09:03:00.000-08:002011-02-10T09:04:30.639-08:00Post Two- Quizzes three, four and five<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.

I took this class because everyone I talked to said this was going to be a fun class and I'm on a mission to have every teacher at Northern. Not really. I am not really intrigued by ancient civilizations because I honestly don't have an expansive knowledge of them. But I hope to recieve a better understanding of the civilizations, be able to compare it to today's society, and become a blogger. well not out of choice.McLaughlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05104661871065792076noreply@blogger.com0
