today in class we learned important words and events that happened. that are important to the Greeks. one of those words is agora which is a public open space used for assemblies markets, and center of  spiritual and political practices. another word is polis which is a city in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes and run by citizens. I learned that in 508 BC Kilisthenis came to power, he placed the foundation of Athens democracy. I also learned about Socrates. I learned that he was a great philosopher and Greek philosophy was developed by him. Socrates later went on trial for corrupting Athens youth and was found guilty and sentenced to death. Socrates also has a method called the Socratic method which was the arriving of truth by continually questioning ,obtaining answers, and criticizing the answers.  lastly in 508 BC it was the first time in recorded history that people revolted against their rulers. this lead to many other revolts. I learned many new things  in class today.

today in class we continued to learn about population and settlement. we learned about life expectancy. life expectancy means the average number of years believed by a group of people born in the same year. some examples are, the highest is in Monaco, 89.52 total- 85.63 men and 95.58 women. U.S. #42 79.68 total- 77.32 men and 81.97 women. lowest Chad 49.81 total- 48.64 men and 51.03 women. we also learned about crude birth rate, which means the number of births per 1,000 of the population. Also we learned about the crude death rate, which means the number of deaths per 1,000 of the population. we learned about rate of natural increase which is produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. this gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage form-for a country or region. the net migration rate is the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during a year. an excess of persons entering the country is net immigration. this is written as a...

today in class we took a test about excellence, Greeks, and a message to Garcia. before we took the test I wish I would have looked at the message to Garcia vocabulary more because I had trouble on those questions. I was very confident on the rest of the questions. also I couldn't remember how to spell what Socrates was put to death with. I liked how one of the essay questions was about my opinion Socrates. I was confident also on the questions about Socrates and his trial and what the Socratic method is. Socrates was a very good person who believed strongly in what he did for a living and died for it. if I was in his position I would have said what ever I needed to not to be killed. I liked how we went over the questions we thought where going to be on the quiz and that we thought should be on the quiz. it helped a lot with what I needed to study and it made me feel good about taking the test because , I knew what was going to be on it so I was very prepared besides a couple of vo...

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.
