Rome Test review
Today we went over what was going to be on the test. How the Roman Empire was split into two different parts: The Eastern and Western Rome. We also saw how gas prices rose over the summer when Mr. Schick was a kid. How cars were lined up bumper to bumper just to get 10 gallons of gas.

Rome split in two
Rome was split into 2 parts. The Eastern and Western part . Rome was slowly falling to pieces because it was too big to handle. There weren't enough guards to protect the people. This means that people could steal things from villagers without being caught. This causes a lot of people to be afraid of traveling and selling their goods. Another way Rome was falling to pieces was because it didn't have any goods to trade. None of the surrounding countries wanted what they were selling which was: cheese, glass, and wine.

Mummie Rap
Chorus:
When a person dies
He must be prepared to lie with the rest
And hope he has lived his life the best.
Hope he moves on
To the life beyond
To mummify a body
First you must wash it in a river
Than you remove the organs such as the liver
This might make you shiver
Then you dry the organs out
There might be some doubt
But you’ll be ready to move on when you take the brain out
Chorus:
When a person dies
He must be prepared to lie with the rest
And hope he has lived his life the best.
Hope he moves on
To the life beyond
Then they took the body
And let it sit in the sun
This doesn’t sound like fun
Next the body was stuffed with packing
To prevent it from cracking
About 20 layers of cloth
Were wrapped around the person
Than they were ready to be buried
This process couldn’t be hurried
The box they were put in had to be sturdy
So it would last for years to come
Chorus:
When a person dies
He must be prepared to lie with the rest
And hope he has lived his life the best.
Hope he moves on
To the life beyond
The pharaohs had the best funerals
They were transported by sleigh (ay)
People were hired to mourn and cry
When they saw the person who died
Pass on by
This was the last of the steps
And all will be well
As you can tell
Some of the mummies today
Are here to stay
Chorus:
When a person dies
He must be prepared to lie with the rest
And hope he has lived his life the best.
Hope he moves on
To the life beyond

Essay Question "Describe the transition of hunter-gatherers to farmers..."
The transition from hunter-gatherers was a huge accomplishment. This allowed people to find new jobs and start creating new things. The first civilization was made out of stone with plaster on the walls. There was also window in one of the rooms to allow air in. This is an example of how not having to worry about when your next meal is can change how people live. If you have a surplus of food and animals then people known as special workers can start to invent new things to help your civilization to survive.
Having a surplus of food can help a civilization a lot. Food like wheat, barley, and rice were easily planted. You could also store it for a long time so you wouldn’t have to eat it right away like sago. Wheat was one of the domesticable plants that could change how a civilization worked. This is how people started to domesticate and use animals to their advantage.
Domesticating animals were another huge event in human history. If you had a large animal over 100 lbs. it could be a huge advantage to you. Domesticating an animal to help you grow and harvest crops would make lives easier. It would also be a quicker way of getting done work. Cows, sheep, and goats are some of the fourteen animals. These animals were being used for milk, their fur, and their meat. This was one of many transitions from hunter-gatherers to farmers.

New Guinea becoming modernized?
Class Notes:
-13 of the 14 were found in Europe. None in America, New Guinea, Australia, and South America (except the llama).-If you can get a surplus of food it frees people up to do other stuff like make weapons and invent useful things.
-Papa New Guinea is it's own island that isn't surrounded by other good trading companies.
-They also aren't making any good materials to offer the world.
-People by the fertile crescent made colonies and started to build plaster.
-Plaster was built out of heated limestone over 1,000 degrees.
- If your latitude was the same as the fertile crescent you most likely could do the same things as the people living on the fertile crescent because it was the same weather, animals, and landscaping.
-The town of Papua New Guinea is becoming modernized more and more.
-Just because some of the people are still working with stones and barley live-able conditions doesn't mean that the whole island is that way.

Student Appreciation Day!
Class Notes:
Surplus- More than enough supplies.
-New Guinea didn't have any natural of the 14 domesticated animals. (Same with Africa, Australia, South & North America)
-The people in the Fertile Crescent were blessed because they had both the right crops and the right animals.
What I learned in class:
Today in class it was a short amount of time so we didn't get through much of the movie. Tomorrow we have class first period so we should be watching the movie more. Today was student appreciation day and Mr.Schick brought in cookies though. So that was cool of him! (:

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"- zebras when they hear a noise
Review:
-The advantages over the stuff they eat is wheat and barley is easily planted, you can store it longer, and has more protein.
Movie Notes:
- People who had access to crops became the most productful farmers.
-about 9,000 years ago their was an amazing change in how humans changed by:
--Animal domesticating -instead of hunting they had a dependable meat supple. (Goats and sheep were 1st)
--You could also use their milk to drink and skin for clothes.
--Domesticating the growth of plants so that they could eat it.
--Using horses and animals to plow fields and help with farm work.
-This allowed farmers to grow more crops and feed more people.
-Unfortunately New Guinea only has pis and they weren't even native to the land. The only muscle they have is Human power. All of the work is done by hand.
The best thing for farming is a LARGE plant eating animal. If you had a carnivore you would have to feed it meat.
-The 14 domesticated animals are:
1) Goats
2)Sheep
3)Pigs
4)Cows
5)Horses
6)Donkeys
7)Camels
8)(The other camels )Arabian Camels
9)Water Buffalo
10)Mithun
11) Llamas
12) Reindeer
13) Yaks
14)Bali Cattle

What I learned:
Today in class we learned the 14 domestic animals even though Mr. Schick couldn’t find the pause button in time so we only got 10. Another super important thing that we learned from the movie was that New Guinea didn’t have any large animals to do labor for them. They did have pigs but they were brought over from Asia. When humans began to learn about all the things they could use they realized they could use a sheep for its milk and also to eat and use as clothes. I feel these were important times in human history also because if these people didn’t figure this stuff out where would we be today?

The day people started to control nature
Notes:
-Hunter Gatherers- (Animals to hunt and plants to gather)
-Gathering is done by women and hunting is mostly done by men.
-Barley and wheat were grown in the northeast.
-Dra'a is where archeologists dig for remains of villages. It's located in the Middle East. This village started right around the end of the drought. They believe they had found a grainery where food could be stored.
-Hunter/Gathers were always going to be at a disadvantage then farmers because they couldn't collect enough food in the first place OR store it.
-The people of New Guinea have low protein diets. They have foods that are low in protein, some people have been known to eat giant spiders for protein.
What we did in class summary:
The first time when we stopped behaving like animals is when we realized we could build a place to store food. Also when we found out we could control the growth of plants instead of going around and looking for food. This was an important time in our history because is made a huge impact on the way we lived our lives. The villages could survive for awhile without having all the women gathering and all the men hunting. If you think about it it was like the worlds first refrigerator in a way.
The society we live in takes the food we eat for granted. Alot of people don't work for the food they grow including me and my family. You don't realize what people have to do to grow these types of food and all the hard labor that goes into it. We just go tot the super market and pick out the eat, vegetables, fruit, desserts we want to eat. This is the way America evolved over time and the way we live our lives now. Others are used to the way of farming and working hard for their food.
