Verizon hates My family. These are my last 3 blogs

   Today in class we finished researching about Jared Diamond, so we started to watch the documentary about him called Guns, Germs, and Steel. There are 18 parts and we are on part 2 but they are about 10 minutes each so it’s not that bad. I am also learning a lot. I learned that Jared Diamond has a very unique voice for starters. It is deep yet pitchy at times. He kind of has an accent, my guess is that from his traveling and exploring he picked up a bit of an accent. That is just a guess. We watched how they have a team of archeologists out  hunting for proof of early domestication and are busy uncovering a small village. They say this village held about 50-70 people which was really interesting. These people were at the peak of housing, and so their houses were all built together and a rock doorway was the entrance to another families house. But today was a good class.
 Today in class we talked about who was staying in Mr. Schick’s class for second semester, and who was leaving. I found out that I Am moving out which is pretty sad, I’m going to miss my class. I’m moving into Mr. Powell’s Western Civ. With Jules, Damon, Greg, and Hailey. We got to part 5 in the video, and I learned that there are 140 plant eating animals that Jared Diamond discovered, and out of those one hundred and forty, there are only 14 that are domesticated.
     Today’s class was kind of sad because we were finding out who was staying in the class, and who was leaving. Sadly I am one of those people that is leaving. I will honestly miss Mr. Schick’s class. He is a great teacher, and also very funny. I really hope his next class is respectful and realizes what an amazing teacher they have. In class though, we just took the survey on Mr. Schick’s class, and we talked about facts from the CIA world factbook. The Central Intelligence agency is a very helpful website! It provides the reader with amazing, and 100% true information that can help with projects, research, blogs, or just curiosity. Anyways, Mr. Schick was a pleasure to have teaching me, and I will always cherish the good times and memories.
