Rome RAFTs

         I really enjoyed our game show that we did in our presentation. I've learned a lot of things about Romans life like about Roman food, Roman mythology, information, soldiers and government of Rome. The fruits that was common for them are grapes. Prima Mensa was their mainly dish. Our planets names were come from them. You can join the military army if you're 20 years old and shouldn't be marry. Their government is a republic. Julius Caesar was killed in the theater of Pompey. They also have Colosseum and watch gladiatorial fights. I like Tyra's group presentation because its interesting to know about what our planets rules for the Roman. Each planet is known as god, like Jupiter is the god of kings, Mars is for war, Venus is for love and Pluto is for death. I realized that learning Ancient Rome is important because they influenced people around the world.

Roman PMI

Plus
-Military strength is the most obvious similarity.

- Romans were known for their infrastructure, including their Roads (or Via) as well as their engineering feats with bridges and aqua ducts, built primarily to enable their military to move more quickly.
-China is a socialist and communist country that is slowly turning its back on its soul and embracing it nemesis, capitalism.

Minus
-United States has deployed any ruling consuls in any sovereign lands.
-The rest of the world undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Romans as well.
-Romans had to excel at both the art of winning wars as well as the winning the cultural battle often times found in political circles, considering that the Roman empire spanned continents as well as vast cultural divides. Rome’s greatest conquest was the seduction of its’ peoples.
-The United States with the Iraq war has learned that the “American” way does not always work.
- The fall of the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight as well.
Interesting
-Rome was the Superpower of its time, as United States is the Superpower now.
-The Internet began as a military tool, and arguably is one of the most superior inventions of our time, bringing whole nations together in mere nanoseconds.
- United States offers Starbucks, my personal favorite, Wal-Mart for 24/7 shopping convenience, and Disneyland for entertainment, just to name a few.
-The Roman and American models of government and capitalism are based on the principles of progress through utilization of it’s work force with the lure of the good life as an individual’s goal
- Those highways find their counterpart in the Internet, or better known as the information Superhighway.

Blog #7 (Evaluation-Mark)

                 Evaluation is evaluating yourself and others. It's all about what you did in your project or presentation. It's how much you put an effort into your work. Evaluation is a contribution in every work, project or presentation that you did with your group or individually. Evaluating is also being honest with yourself and it's your grade in yourself or with your group. What mark means to me is an average or grade. If you're hard working, it's kind a gift for you if you have high marks or grades. All your work totals your marks. It shows how you did your part or work.Learning helps me to be better for what I'm doing. We learn in order to make better lives for ourselves.

First Nation Presentation (blog # 6)

      I enjoyed listening to Athena's dad, which is Mr. Benjoe because I like the way he drew a first nation in the board. I learned things about where he came from and words in his language. I also enjoyed the activity that he gave to us because it helps us to cooperate and communicate to others by asking them and fill out our papers and to know my classmates better too. I really like his painting because his a good artist and I was amazed when I saw his painting because it's really awesome and colourful.

Presentation (blog # 5)

           I think our presentation did well even though at first, I wasn't in timing in reading my part. Presenting is not that easy because we were talking in front of class and it's hard to do it, but I learned that we need to have confidence and be comfortable in presenting in class. We also need to have an energy in presenting, so the audience will enjoy and not be bored. I also learned that we need to have an eye contact on our audience and make our voice louder and clear, so the audience can hear us. I think Lana and Johnna had the best presentation because they use their creativity to do their prezi. I learned a lot of things about their civilization which is Mayans because they included interesting things like the games of mayans and their cultural dances. I enjoyed learning Ancient Mayans because I like the way they presented it.
