New Teacher (sort of) and Hammurabi's Code

Hammurabi's Code:
Law #22- I think this law is really harsh and really isnt fair. I mean i can understand if they steal a lot of things but if it is just a small thing that is unecessary in life than why should they be summoned to death?

Law #15- Is a little more undertsandable than 22 but it is still very unreasonable i mean nobody should be sentenced to death unless they REALLY deserve it

Law #127- is a little unreasonable now but back then religion was a much bigger part in society than it is now but i really dont know what pointing a finger at the gods really means though

Today in class we reviewed what we went over yesterday, but this time we had a new student teacher do it, his name was Mr. Darrington who is really a student in our class. It was funny to see him try and do what Mr.Schick does everyday because he really didnt know as much as Mr.Schick and it was funny to see him attampt. He didnt even know the questions that Mr.Schick made him ask which i thought was hilarious. Then after a little bit Mr.Schick took back over and started teaching us about Hammurabi's Code which are pretty much the first written laws ever. Then he had us do what you see right above you and I find a lot of these laws a little outlandish and cruel.

Actually Doing Some West Civ Things!!!!

Today in class we actually started doing stuff relating to West Civ. We started off class by giving a few kids who hadn't set up there blogs yet time to do that. Then we actually got into it and started doing West Civ. We started off by talking about the pre-historic era of West Civ, we went over a good 30,000 years in one slide which i thought was really impressive. Then we started getting into Mesopotamia and a city called Sumer, and how they had specific people for things and that was how things worked back then. I really liked how things worked back then, i was also pretty interested in how they bought things with no currensy. They really traded more than anything. It wasnt really buying. So yeah today we actually got to West Civ and i think i am really going to like this course.

Setting up Blogs and Getting Started

Today in class we started by working on getting our blogs up. It was easy for me since i had Mr.Schick last semester so i knew how to do it but a few kids had trouble getting it up. Then after that he started going over some of the stuff we are going to need like a composition book. There are a few new kids in my class and i know most of them. I am actually pretty excited with this class and i think it will be fun. It was practically everything he went over on the first day of school in which he was actually my first class of first quarter. Well now we are starting the third quarter and i pretty much know what he is going to expect from the class this semester. I really think this is going to be a fun semester.
