today in class we took the test on Greece. I think that I did fine on most of it. but there are some spots on the test that I am not so sure about. I wans unsure about the names on the second part. I was getting them all confused because they are not common names anymore. and the other thing I am not so sure about was the names of the seas. I put agean was east of Greece. and that the Ionian was west of it but I am no sure if that is right.

today in class we did not do much again. all we did was watch the video again to review for the test. sorry by blog is going to be short I have a lot of other homework that I have to do

today in class we did not do much so my blog is going to be shot. all we did today was review the words. we did not finish the cards.other then that we did not do much

 

                              Today in class we watched part two of the video. I liked it more than part one but I still thought it was a little boring. During the video I was taking notes on the video. Other than that we did not do anything after the video I starting righting my blog and that is all I have done.

Today we presented our project. I think we did ok. We could of probably done better. But we had very little time to work on it together. We only where able to work together for 45 min total. And to be honest Dominic did most of the work on it. Also he did most of the presenting. We did not find much information on it and I think we should of. I don’t think we did terrible but I don’t think we did great.

Today in class we presented our project.every one but us. We did not get to because we where having problems emailing the PowerPoint.so far nothing on this project has tome as planed. First we try and use movie maker and I don't have it on my computer so then we do it on my partners compute. And that did not work. So we downloaded another app like movie maker and that did not work. So we did a power point finally something that works. We finish the project  and now we can't email it. Over all these computers are just not working well.

today in class we did not do much we just individually finished watching the movie. I thought It was an ok video. it was interesting enough but there where some parts that it got a little slow and boring. after I finished watching the video I finished filling out the notes paper. then when I was done that I just worked on my blog that that's about all I have done this class.

Today in class I did not learn much instead I fought with my computer to get it to work. I could not get our computer to work so now we are having problems making this video thing.  We tried downloading another movie maker app and it did not work wither. So now we are doing a slide show. I will not be as good but you have to work with what you have.

Today in class we continued to watch the video. It is a very interesting video. But I don’t like the paper that we got with the video. It is very hard to wright things down when you can’t see the words on the paper. I think I would just be better to wright out own notes like in our book. If we did that then we would not have to read the questions and it would be easier to learn more because not only are we listening to what the video is saying we are righting what they are saying
