First blog

Today was the first day of western civilization and today we got a feel for the class. We talked about how the class will be and also the rules of the class. We learned to blogs hold a lot of points and doing them is very crucial if you want to get a good grade. We got our seats and we learned each other’s name and learned that we will be learning about time and lots of old civilization and how they were built and destroyed. To make the world we have now. I feel like In this class that we should do lots of more presentations so that we can build up relationship and it will make the class a lot more fun. I also feel that we should do more watching of videos because note taking is a lot easier way to learn.
