the first day of western civ

Today was the first day of western civilization and my first day in Mr. Schick’s class. We went over the class rules and Mr. Schick showed us how to set up our blogs. Mr. Schick told us to not play games on our computers before or during class. He mentioned that he gave out eight detentions for playing games and how Ben Fetzer received some of them. At first the websites weren’t opening but I figured out how to open it thanks to my good friend Jack Coyner. I was previously in Mr. Fendryck’s class for human geography. I cant wait to start the new semester with my new teachers, Mr. Kimble and Mr. Schick. Mr. Schick seems like a funny, nice and caring teacher who wants all his students to succeed. He makes us take notes in a notebook and do blogs after class so we remember everything that he taught us.

Today in Mr. Schick's Western Civilization class, we finished the power point on the Renaissance that he had prepared for us. We talked about the arts and went over which information was important and which were test questions. The first test question is that renaissance means rebirth. The Renaissance was a rebirth of art and literature and culture. The next was that Milan and Florence had wealthy merchants and bankers. The third was that the Medici were a powerful banking family and that they paid writers, artists, and musicians to create their beautiful works of arts. The super-patron Isabella d'Este was a patron to: da Vinci, Bellini, Corraggio, Raphael, and Michelangelo. There were many more test questions but we also learned about the printing press and the Sistine Chapel that Michelangelo had painted in the Vatican.
