Cyber School

Our cyber assignment today is to write about our thoughts on cyber school so far,

So far I think that cyber school has been a little confusing and overwhelming because it's hard sometimes to know what some of my teachers are asking me to do, so I don't really understand my assignments. It's also hard for me to organize all of my documents and making sure I'm submitting them to the right teacher. Other than those two things, I think that my teachers have been giving me reasonable amounts of work to complete each day. My teachers also have been helpful in answering my questions about their assignments, but it's still sometimes confusing. Another thing that can be confusing is that all of the teachers have different ways they want us to submit things and I'll get confused forget which way they want me to submit the assignments. I think it's a confusing thing for everyone and we are all still adjusting to online learning, so hopefully, it'll get easier as time goes on.

Mr. Schick's Post

Our cyber assignment for today is to write a reflection on the thoughts that Mr. Schick posted on his blog. The Coronavirus has completely changed everyone's current lifestyles and routines making it difficult for a lot of people to adjust to the change. It sucks but there isn't anything anyone can do about it because the situation is out of our control. The best thing that we can do is try to make the best out of the situation and also put effort into our school. Mr. Schick mentioned how students are tempted to look up an answer or ask a friend, which doesn't help you understand what you are learning. I can relate to this because sometimes some things are really hard or I don't feel like doing them so I want to give up, but that isn't helpful to me because I'm not learning anything and it'll just push me further behind. He also mentions how we should "rise to the occasion,  and actually strengthen our resolve to be good people who do excellent work.&

10 point assignment; Demographic Transition

Mr. Schick was out today so we had a sub. He gave us the assignment to watch the three videos that he posted about demographic transition and write three facts that we learned from each video. After we finished writing our facts and watching the videos, we have to write about which video we liked the best and why. Khan Academy Video: 1) The growth rate measures how much the population of a country grows or shrinks over some time period. 2) To figure out the growth rate of a country, you count how many people were added to the population, and how many people were removed. (growth rate = ((current - initial)/initial) x 100) 3) Most countries have positive growth rates because there are economic benefits since children can work to help support the family, the government sometimes provides incentives to families for each child, and religion influences population growth, because it usually promotes large families. Video from Kim Smith, Ph.D.: 1) Since the Agricultural Revolution t

Crucible of Civilization Video Pt 1

Today in class we started to watch a video about Ancient Greece called "Crucible of Civilization". Since we had finished all of the notes in the PowerPoint and read all of the important parts in the textbook, we watched a documentary that sums up a lot of things that we just learned. While watching the video, we paused it during the important information and took notes, some of the notes I took were... - 508 BC --> first revolution known to man - 570 BC --> Cleisthenes was born - Herodotus --> first great Greek historian - Aristocrats were members of the ruling class - Acropolis: a big outcropping of rock in the center of Athens - life expectancy was about 15 years in Athens - helots --> slaves forced into labor - The heroic ideal is what drove everyone; you should try to be the greatest person you could possibly be - Pisistratus: gained power from Athena; reduced taxes and provided free loans We watched about half of the video, and then we had about
