Today in class we continued the movie.  I thought I knew what was going to happen, but I was completely wrong.  It doesn't feel like this ever happened because it is way more dramatic then real life seems.  I couldn't beleive that they would kill the Gracuss Brothers.

Today in class we started a video/movie on ancient Rome   Apparently we only get to see 1 out of 6 parts of it.  That is very depressing to me.  But in this one part we watched the first 6 chapters.  The are life changing and I now know the history of the Roman revolution.  I am so pumped for the rest of this movie.

Today in class we took a quest.  Apparently it is a combination of a quiz and a test.  It wasn't to difficult but some questions challenged me.  like how many people were in the senate.  in my defense that wasn't in the rap.  So how would I of known it.

today in class we continued the dissociation on the lyrics.  we got deeper into the Punic Wars.  The conversation we had was amazing about how countries get there names.  You said i was off topic but it had to do with Rome soooo.

Today in class we went over the lyrics to the song again.  We found out about the Punic wars.  there were three and Rome won all three.  And we found out that Hannibal came up from the the alps and tried to to take over Rome and it failed and the city of Carthage was over.

Today in class we got to watch me, holly, and Savannah's music video.  You could say it was amazing and you said it.  All I have to say is you are welcome and thank you.  The tables have turned.

Today in class we continued to work on the music video.  Ours is probably the best music video ever made. It was pretty hard to make but we powered through and be prepared to be amazed.  Because i am already amazed.

Today in class Savannah, Holly, and I took over.  We were dropping beats and spitting rhymes about Rome.            We had to make a music video wit a bunch of pics. To be able to describe the life and love of Rome.  It is a very difficult and we only got half way done.  But no worries because I got my team on my back.

Today in class we watched a rap about Rome.  It was preformed by Chi Cago  aka: Mr. Shick.  And his associate Martha.  It was probably going to be to be #1 on iTunes.  We got so much information out of that musical education.  Like how Octacvion was only 18 when he took over.
