Video Sharing

We started today’s class by sharing some of the video that we all made. To be honest, I think we all can agree that Victoria’s was by far the best that we saw today. In fact, after she went, nobody wanted to volunteer because they all knew that they could not top her performance. Thanks to mine, Mr. Schick will be calling Mr. Powell “Octavian” from now on. After we were tired of hearing “Rome,” we continued with our note taking. Today’s note’s included crucifixions (I just wrote down these notes even though we formally discussed this yesterday) and the wars that were Punic. We also talked about how the cavalry was more of a police force and the legion was more for fighting wars. The Punic Wars were fought between the Romans and the Phoenicians. In case you did not know the word Punic is an adjective for Phoenician. The Punic Army was led by Hannibal. His plan for attacking Rome would have been BRILLIANT, if they hadn’t insisted on using elephants as there means of transportation. I mean really, who actually thought that the elephants would actually have made it through the MOUNTAINS when they are something that you would see on a safari through the Sahara Desert!
