Today it i thougth it was reaally fun we got to preform our skit.(1)What did your skit teach you about teamwork? The skit taught me that teamwork is not always so easy, because many people have different sujestions, but teamwork may also help us finish our project faster if we just had a group leader. (2)What did your skit teach you about the material? I thought that by acting out the skit we could actually premform how the peole in the Tang Dyansty felt about being over thrown by a new emperor. And that also taught me that if you get information from the book and act it out as a script you could actually learn more because you are having fun. (3)List four ways the skit could have been improved. I thought it could have been improved if we had more actions in the skit because some of us just read what was on the script and they did not show actions, they were a bit emotionless. I also thought it could have been improved if we only memorized the script, because i thought it was akward that people say they were ready but they kept flipping their scripts when they were talking. The other way to imrove the script is to have some things for the script like if you were acting out someone you should have some materials, so it would be more realstic. So the act could be more exciting. The other to make the skit improve is to have more back ground, because i thought that if we had more background it is like we had more places we are at. Basically we worked on the script for like half the class. I thoguth we did a great job, i really hope that we can do this sometime again but i still don't want it to act out in the all school gathering. Becasue then it would be very imbarrising if we made a mistake. Jez was really good with the background, she was the one who found the rebeling background, in the play she rebeled to like in the picture i thought it was very halarious.

Today in class we talked at first then we satrted on our homework which Mr.Brughauser let us do. Our homework was to type down a day what the person in the Song or Tang would do. Jez and i were working together, we chooesed to work on a noble young girl when Jez and i worked about half of it Mr.Brughauser came and told Jez and i that we did a wonderful job. It was nice of Mr.Brughauser to tell us that. At the end of the class Jez and i were almost finshed we just needed to add a few sentances to end what a noble girl's life is like. I thought it was fun today because i get to work on my homework in class.

At the begining we had a few minutes to put final toches on pur powerpoint.Then we were presenting our powerpoints, Jordan and Kevin were up first, but somehow only Kevin was presenting, they did it on the technology of the Han Dynasty, i thought they did a good job.Up next was Connie and Eunice they did their topic was on the Chinese society. Then after they have finish presenting Mr. Brughauser said it was wonderful wnderful wonderful, i thoght it was too. Then the last group was Jez and i i was kind of nervous of presenting, the topic that Jez and i choose was the Han Dynasty. When we were finished Kevin asked a few quesions and we answered, and then Mr. Brughauser also asked us some questions too, and some how we started to talk about caviar and freedom because i think it is about the society. We also talked about old money and new money and then we talked about how it is not fair that people us money to get in school instead of using their heads. I thought today was fun because we get to watch powerpoints and present them. At the end of the class Mr. Brughauser said since there is 25 minutes left i will let you read from your History book from page 322-329 i got to finish it in class. The good news is that Mr. Brughauser said that we do not need to do a powerpoint on this chapter.

Today in class Mr. Burghauser told us we work with ourself, he won't even step up to tell us what to do. We will decide things by our self and he will sit there and read a book and if he wants to take a drink of water he can just walk right out and take a drink of water. I thought it was a cool idea to let us to that. At first we got ready and we made finish toches on our powerpoint, after we had put finish toches to our powerpoint we presented it. First it was Eunice and Connie their subject was on Daioism. Afetr they presented we clapped and then we get to ask questions, but we didn't ask any questions so then Eunice and Connie gets to ask us. They asked us alot of questions we only got a few right. Next up was Jez and i we presented on Confucionism and Legalism after we were finished the audience gets to ask us questions. They asked us a lot of questions and Jez anwser all of them i had no clue what the anwsers was. Then it was Jordan and Kevins turn they did their topic on the Qin dynasty which i wanted to do. When they were done we ask them a few question and than it was their turn to ask us questions. I thought they asked us a lot of questions but we got most of the questions right we just missed one and Jordan said Connie was cheating because she took notes on the powerpoint. There was this funny one Jordan and Kevin asked how long the Great wall was i answered 4000miles but they say we had to answer it with km. When the three groups were done Mr. Brughauser said good job, it was wonderful, it was great. I really think the class was fun, then Mr. Brughauser said next time he would let us do this again maybe in 1month he won't even need to come to the class hw would know that his students are in class. But then he assigned us homework it was to read from pages 200-207, i thought it was kind of long.
