6th day of western civ

Today, in Mr. Schick’s western civilization class, we took our first test. The test was on the video “GUNS GERMS AND STEEL” by Jared Diamond and National Geographic. The test was fair and easy. I feel that I did well even though I did not study and missed a day of watching the video. I was going to try to get the notes from the day I missed from Evan Erhardt but I kept forgetting and never got them. Everybody finished the test in about thirty-five minutes and Gabe Huffman was last to finish. The first person to finish was Haley Cucina and Jillian Connolly wrote all her answers in lower case even though Mr. Schick specifically said to write them in big, upper case letters so he could tell which answer you wanted. If they were written in lower case it would be harder to tell which letter it is because of some people’s hand writing

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.
