Today in human geo mr schick let the whole class retake the pop quiz from the day before. Im glad he did this because the class all together did not do so well. Once everyone retook the quiz we all felt better about our grades. Most of our grades aren't so great because we don't do the blogs. So this definitely helped. And then for the second part of class we got a project assignment thats due next class. For this project we have to make a google docs about two different countries and their population graphs. We have to also include what the shape is and what it means along with four questions. Doing that you will receive a B. However if you answer the four questions, you could receive an A. My group is me Evelyn and Mary; we are trying for an A because it would really help our grades.

Agora is a public open space used for assemblies and markets. It was the center off athletic, artistic, spiritual, and political life in a city state. Another word was polis. A city state in Ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes is polis. It is also the origin of the words such as politics, poll, etc. We learned why the year 508 BC was so important. It is so important to the ancient greeks because in that year democracy was introduced in Athens by Cleisthenes.
