Today we start working on our paper. It's a huge paper for us. Hopefully I can finish half of my part on tomorrow and complete it during the weekend.

Today we continued to present our works about Ancient Greece. Me and Alex did the presentation to everybody. I was very nervous when I presenting our works. But it actually better than I thought. Hopefully I will get a good grade on this. And we also need to write an 1000-words essay on the topic we research . My life is so tough!

Today we presented our project. Our plan is go through all presentation in this class. But we only go though 2 presentation today. The first presentation by Caitlyn and Thresh took about 40 minutes. Their presentation was just awesome! I learned a lot of stuff from it. I'm very excited about my incoming presentation. I'll try my best to give everybody a good lesson!

Today we continued talked about the tyrants. After we finish, Mr. Schick told us we might have a day off on Friday due to the snow. This is a absolutely good news because we can have a 3-day weekend if Friday is off!

Today we spent a whole class working on our project. Our project is almost done. Also, I check the weather during the class and it said we might have snow on Friday!. If it does, then we won't have to present our project on Friday!

Today we continue work on our Ancient Greece project. One interesting thing mentioned by Mr. Schick is our project is " Art and Archtecture " , and my and my partner's name are all start with A. It's like AA do AA. What a coincidence! At the very end of class, Mr. Schick show us two videos about kid's crying, which are funny and all students laughed. I finally understand why Mr. Schick is saying" Are you crying?" all the time.

Today at very beginning of class, we had a shout video talk with Mr. Schick's daughter, since today is her birthday. Everyone seems have fun talk with Mr. Schick's daughter, especially Alex. After that, we start make our google slide with partners.

Today we did a review about ancient Greece. After review, Mr. Schick give us a quiz. Only 10 multiple choice questions but we have to answer each question in 10 second. It sounds really tough but actually the question is very easy. At the end, I got 2 question wrong. I feel sad because most of people get them all right. After quiz, Mr. Schick let us find 2 partner for our project. My partner is Alex and our project is about the Athenian art and architecture. This project is due on next Friday.
