Human Geo Notes

Notes Jesus of Nazareth Roman power spread to Judea; home of the Jews around 63 B.C. 6 A.D. Rome seized control of the Jewish kingdom and made it a province of the empire. Biblical tradition told of a Messiah that would come to restore and save the Jews. Jews believed that they would be saved by this Messiah. Sometime around 6 and 4 B.C., Jesus; a Jew, was born into the town of Bethlehem in Judea. Raised in Nazareth in northern Palestine, he was baptized under John the Baptist. Jesus began his public ministry at the age of thirty. He worked, taught, preached, and performed miracles upon the people. Most of what is known about Jesus can be found in the gospels in the Bible. Because Jesus was not about the fame and the glory, he was known by many people. He did not want to be rich or have a high status which the poor liked. Jesus' Death and Resurrection Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem in 29 A.D. by many large crowds and praised. The crowds greeted him as the king or th

Notes Today we took notes on a presentation regarding information needed for a test tomorrow. I will not be taking this test and I probably won't be taking it this week at all. I will not be here Monday, Tuesday, and maybe even Wednesday of next week because I will be with family in Salisbury again for the service. I am not really sure what to put into this blog because I wasn't really here mentally or emotionally first mod. I hope to get back on track with my schoolwork next Wednesday or Thursday and finish out the year strong.

SICK I am pretty sure I have food poisoning from whatever I ate last night so I was not in class today. That is it so yeah!

MORE NOTES Today we took more notes, however, I forgot my notebook so I cannot record any of them :) While taking notes, we talked about the bombing in Syria and how the world 'is going to end' (supposedly). Then we talked about how a bakery refused to make a cake for a homosexual couple and how the case is trying to climb its way to the Supreme Court. I refuse to believe that the Supreme Court would accept to view such a personal case but if the case is in fact regarding sexual orientation and religious freedoms the court may take a look at it. Well I am in no mood to impose my beliefs and opinions at this time so I'm done.

NOTES A true tyrant in the old and and modern sense of the word. The people's shock at this horrible family and their terrible behavior made them NEVER want to be subject to the rule of kings EVER again. This was an attitude that lasted for centuries. Rule of Kings is replaced by the rule of two consuls ("gotta be better than one"). Consuls are elected officials term of office: One year Always aristocrats (Patricians) Patricians chased their descent from a famous ancestor, or pater  ("father") Duties: Dealing justice, making laws, commanding the army. One consul could veto the other; reducing the power of the individual. Fifth century BCE- patrician dominance of the government was challenged by the plebs ("people"). Plebs were 98% of the population. Plebs had to serve in the army but could not hold office. Plebs were threatened with debt slavery. Plebs had no legal rights Plebs were victims of discriminatory decisions in judicial trials.

POWER POINT Today we took notes from a power point about Rome. We learned about the Italian peninsula and about the Etruscans. I will write in my notes next week some time because I forgot my notebook and I am already on my way home. 

Liberator Today Kelsie took control of the class and got us four points back on our tests which is great. That will raise my grade to  c so I will have a chance. Kels is a little stubborn but she gets what she wants which is pretty amazing and I'm not complaining. Thanks to Kels, I actually have a shot at getting an A in the class now so props to her. She is too happy tho.

NOT3S Today we took notes out of our textbooks while two students took the test. After taking notes for a while the students finished their test and it came time for the tests to be handed back. Somehow our class averaged to an 82 when most of my classmates (including me) received a D. One even got an F. After taking notes we all began to go over the test where we found an error and were given a point back. We complained so much I don't think that we even got past number eight so I'm guessing that's where we will continue on from tomorrow. 

TEST Today we had a test which I found extremely difficult for some reason. I studied for a good three hours and read over all of the material and there was stuff that we learned in human geo at the beginning of the year like arete that I don't remember. It was hard and I think I am going to do poorly which is great since I already have a low grade to start out the quarter.
