Today in West Civ class we started our exam by writing three out of the five essay that were given. We had to explain each essay in full detail in order to get the best grade possible. I decided to write essay A, C, and D because I believed those were the ones I knew most about. For essay A, I had to explain how geographic luck applied to Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt. For the second essay I had to explain the different social hierarchies of Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. For the last essay I had to compare and contrast the governments of Ancient Rome and The United States in year of 2015.

Today in West Civ class we used our knowledge while taking our Ancient Rome final test. Overall I thought the test was very easy, I really enjoy doing the big project on Ancient Rome and explaining it in front of the class because I feel like I really benefited from it . Our project got an A so I was very pleased with every ones work ethic in my group.

Today in west civ was our last day of presenting Rome projects, only two groups went today. Suki and Christina made a video, built a coliseum, and drew a picture of a pore and wealthy person. Then Katie's group went and they built something out of wine corks then made a huge poster board explaining it. Overall this was a very fun project and I enjoyed it very much, it was a great learning experience.

Today in class we finished watching the movie on Rome and Tiberius. In conclusion, at then end of the movie Tiberius ended up getting killed because he was trying to declare himself king. Every time one of the senators put theirs hoods on their hand it meant they were going to kill some one or something, the first time it was the cow then the second time it was Tiberius.
