Human Geo 9/23 - North, Central, & South America Game Scores

Today we played a country-naming game. It was hard at first but I feel that I have a better understanding of the countries.

Western Civ 4/1 - Greek Theater

Image
There were tragedies - a play where something tragic happens. There were comedies - a play where they usually made fun of common ideas (politics). The only movie I can think of that I recently watched is The Conjuring. I think this movie would be leaning more towards tragedy. The hero of the story would be the mother, who then is too focused on her children instead of herself and gets possessed by a spirit. It wasn't that she was full of pride she was just trying to care for her children. After the possession scene, however, she tries to tell one of the "demonologists" that she was okay, so that may have been a show of pride. She eventually gains her justice because there is an exorcism at the end and the spirit is driven out of her.   This is a theater in Greece. It seems to be pretty well preserved. It is outside and a circular shape and I'm pretty sure I've read before that it's shaped like that so it can project the voices.

Western Civ 3/10 - video again but with a sub

Today we watched the rest of the video from Sierra's computer. We had Mr. Canter as a sub and obviously as a language teacher he wasn't about to bust out his western civ knowledge from high school, so I didn't get many notes from this. If Mr. Schick isn't here explaining it then idk what's going on. That's the point where it's easier to use the textbook. I'm excited for lunch.
