January 29th Blog
Today in Western Civ we took a test. I feel like I totally completely absolutely definitely aced the test. I found it fair, but I did get stuck on one part in the "fill in the blank" portion. This will definitely make my grade skyrocket

Today in class we learned about the Paleolithic age and humans before civilization.
Before Civilization
Humans appeared worldwide around 14,000 years ago. 186,000 years prior, humans emerged from Africa into the lands surrounding it. During the Paleolithic age, humans were hunter and gatherers, living in tribes of 15 to 20.
Paleolithic Age
An important time in the Paleolithic Age was the agricultural revolution, also known as the Neolithic Age. During this time, humans made a shift from hunting and gathering to agricultural practices with permanent settlements. Populations rising, hierarchies appearing and inventions of things like the wheel of plow all allowed for advancement in humans
The Earliest Cities
The fertile crescent (fertile area around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers) allowed for agriculture to advance, and cities to appear. Population in these cities saw an increase due to irrigation being invented. Better food storage in cities allowed for employment diversity.

January 20th Blog
Today in class the newcomers, including myself, were introduced to Blogspot. We set up new accounts and blogs. Also, I learned that doing homework is essential to success in Mr. Schick's class. Today's class made me very excited for the upcoming semester and Western Civilization. Mr. Schick really seems like a nice guy.
