More Power Points

In the beginning of class today we tried to watch a video of a baby, but the volume wasn’t working so we couldn’t. I want to see it so hopefully we can watch it some other time in the week. Otherwise, we were back to presenting our power points and Grace had finished hers on Hinduism. Then we moved to Grant, Caroline, and Alexa’s presentation. They did there’s on Judaism. They told us some facts on there’s and we wrote down some notes. Turns out there is 14 million people following their religion, but apparently that isn’t that much. There’s wasn’t that long and they had finished quickly so Ryan went next. He did his on Buddhism, but we didn’t get to finish it so he will finish his tomorrow. I don’t know when I will go and Daphne wasn’t there today, but I’m sure well go within the next two days.

Power Points Continued

     Today in class we got our quizzes back that we took the other day and I was not very happy with my grade, but this quarter I am going to do much better. Then Grace presented her power point. Her topic was Hinduism. She made the power point, but not only did she make the power point she also made us notes. She didn’t make us write everything she left blanks in the paper for us to fill in. It was stuff like Vedas which is made up of hymns and descriptions of Hindu rituals. Bhagavad Gita is a poem that describes the belief of Hindu afterlife. That is the most important Hindu text. I actually did learn some things and I am really happy Grace made those notes so I can study off of them. That is all we did in class today and Grace didn’t get to finish presenting her power point so we will finish that tomorrow and maybe others will represent.

PowerPoint

Today in class we all got into different groups to work on a power point. It was on some of the different types of religion. What we did was we picked out numbers out of a hat and there were numbers on the board one, two, three, four and five. Each of the different religions were by one of the numbers. Then whichever number we picked is the religion we had to look up and research. We were given some questions to answer and then we made our power point and planned it out. My group got Christianity so we answered the questions that were given to us to look up on our topic. My group had finished our power point, we had answered all of the questions, we had made it just how we wanted it and then tomorrow we are supposed to go up in front of the class and present them.

                                                                One lap, three to go
      On Friday I had a shadow in class. We took a test that no one really knew about and we didn't even ask for a test so I thought it was unfair to have one because it moved my grade down.
Still if it had moved my grade up I wouldn’t have cared. You need to tell us if we are going to have a quiz or not because some people don’t check your blog. It’s not fair and it’s also not fair because we didn’t even ask you for a quiz. The other class did. Next quarter I am planning to do much better in your class though and I am going to get a better grade then what I got in your this quarter and I will never get that grade again. I just have to step it up and work hard. I also need to work hard because I am playing sports. Therefore, I have to keep up with my grades.

 

Videos and Opinions

Today in Human Geography class we watched a video about this guy telling his opinion about our world. It wasn’t a long video so then after we all talked about our opinions on nationalism. In the video there was a girl and she asked what makes the United States the best place on earth. Someone said freedom and freedom and I forget what the other lady said, but the other guy disagreed. He had his own opinion and he stated it why the United States was the best place on earth. That’s what we started talking about, people’s opinions on whether they thought America was the best place to live. No one in the class thought it was the best place, everyone thought it was one of the top ones though. Just no one thought America is number one. Personally I don’t think it is, it used to be, but things have changed since then.

Stories and Notes

Today in Human Geography we were told a story about how our teacher went to go visit his daughter in Boston and got to them the Red Socks Baseball Team win their game. When he went to the game her met some of the TV people and got to go in the truck and he showed us a picture of him sitting in the truck. We also got to see a video of the crowd going crazy over the win and they were all singing in the streets screaming and singing. Then the last thing we did was take some notes on language, ethnic groups, and religions. It was facts about each of them, but we didn’t get to finish the slide. We won’t finish it for a couple of days. That’s pretty much all we did in class today and today was a really long mod so we got to go through a couple of slides when we were taking our notes.
