First test

Today in western civilization we took our very first test of the course. It was on guns drugs and steel the things We’ve been watching videos and learning about. The test was 100 points but had a good amount of questions on it. All the questions were things we had already learned and I feel as though I did very good on it. On the back we had to know 8 animals and I only memorized 7 because I thought we only had to know 7 but I ended up figuring out 8 animals. I named all the animals except for yak and reindeers. I studied before the test so I felt confident going in the test I feel like I did good. I also had time to start on some math homework and get that finished up. We had about 30 minutes after the test to do something productive so I started working on math and some English.

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.

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.
