Today in Mr. Schick’s Western Civilization class, we took the test on the ancient civilization of Greece. it was fairly easy and it didn’t take me long to finish at all. I hadn’t studied until right before the test because I had gotten a 100% on my previous two tests for Mr. Schick. I looked up the map of ancient Greece on google before the test and thought that part of the test was very easy. The multiple-choice section was easy as well since I had previously written many, if not all, of the test questions in my notes from the power point we looked at for three days. There were no questions on the Greek mythology and nothing on Zeus or his daughter or their involvement and interaction in human lives. There were no questions on the Athenians’ trireme or the Phalanx. After the test, everybody wrote their blogs to finish up class

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.
