__Scientific Revolution Tagxedo__ Below is my Scientific Revolution Tagxedo. I did it in the shape of a Greek thinker, because that time was full of knowledge, but also Greek and Roman ideas. Some of my words are philosophers, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, and Euclid. These were all philosophers in this time, therefore I also put in the word philosopher. I also put in a one word idea on what they studied, which included reason, logic, numbers, mathematical, and natural world. Under that would be predictions, because they all had some. I also put in the "roots" of the Scientific Revolution which had observation, logic, rational thought, astronomy, geography, mathematics, Greek, Roman, education, size, shape (these two for the size and shape of the world), Muslim, Christian, and Jewish. All these words or ideas helped build up the time we know as the Scientific Revolution.



Reformation Chapter Walk

Student Images 1. Achievements- Anna: Writing- The renaissance was mainly known for it's art, but a lot of great literature was written in that time. That has a lot to do with writing. 2. Humanism- Rachel: Reading- Humanists studied many subjects including reading poems and books from the ruined Greek and Roman empire. Rachel's picture was reading. 3. Trade and Commence- Mr. Reiff: Surfing- Surfing is in the water, and Venice and Genoa were main trading centers. A lot of trade was done with other countries, so they had to travel by water. 4. City-States- Maria: Eating- Many city-states were "ruled" by wealthy families. Back in the Renaissance, being fatter was a sign of wealth, because you can afford food. You eat food.



Renaissance Image Preview 1. The renaissance is the plant which needs water, sunlight, and more to stay alive. But instead of water, sunlight, etc., the renaissance has travel, city-states, and more. Instead of growing in the ground, it grows in Europe.The beauty in it is the art and learning. 2. Classical, growth, rebirth, beauty, life, unique, lifelike, realistic, renaissance. *Classical- The renaissance is a classical time. *Growth- The renaissance grows through-out time. *Rebirth- The renaissance was the rebirth of Europe.

Renaissance

Carly, your entries and retelling are AWESOME! (Mr. Reiff) media type="custom" key="14209508"




 * Both systems have a higher rank that's "above the rules"
 * Both systems have people that must work for protection
 * Higher level questions 1: Do you think that the systems are fair? 2. How are some ways that each class is more beneficial then the rest? (Ex. King has power.)

Warm-ups 4/9: The church made a influence with art, architecture, religion, and the renaissance (which was right after the middle ages.)

3/22: The most significant event was the Black Death. The reason is that it wiped out many villages and many citizens, because they didn't know what was going on. They thought it was caused by evil spirits God sent down to punish them for their sins. Also they often blamed the Jewish and one person murdered over 5,000 Jewish civilizations. 3/21: The impact was that merchants could go there to trade or sell for their masters. 3/20: When they committed a crime, they "disturbed the king's peace." They would do physical tests and some almost witchcraft tests. For example they would burn them and if they didn't heal, they were guilty. 3/19: Craftsmen guilds and craftsmen would hire other guilds to go sell their goods at fairs.

3/15: Chivalry is the medieval knight system with its religious, moral, and social code.

3/7: I found it interesting that Pope Urban II started the crusades. All the crusade information started with Pope Urban II which was very interesting. 3/5: The picture suggests that the Middle Ages had a lot of war. There are people with swords dueling each other. It also suggests that it's a religious war because there's a woman holding a religious flag up.

2/29: All of the cities were by a body of water. It affected life by getting drinking water and by trading with other countries and cities. 2/28: I found the Black Death most interesting, which is why I wrote the poem about Black Death. A reason I found it interesting is that they really though they were being punished for their sins by means of death. 2/27: The Middle Ages happened in Europe. It was full of jousting and knighthood. The knights wore metal suits of armor with helmets. There are tournaments and challenges. They generally used swords as weapons. Also they had queens, kings, princes, princesses, dukes, etc. The Renaissance was a very important religious and art time.

2/23: 2/22: Mecca is important to Islam because it is one of the five pillars of faith. The Kaaba (in Mecca), is a sacred place. 2/21: The Qur'an is a book that describes acts of worship, guidelines for behavior, and rules of social life for Islam.

2/16: Muhammad is Allah's prophet. Qur'an was a translated book of Muhammads' teachings. He was also a merchant and had a wealthy wife. 2/15: 1. One God, Muhammad his prophet. 2. Five prays per day. 3. Give to poor. 4. No eating during Ramadan. 5. Travel to Mecca. 2/13: The greatest achievement of Islam is mathematics. They made many advances, such as in the 800s the combined Indian numbers with Greek math/science and they invented algebra. This is why the modern world today call this invention Arabic numerals.

2/1/12 __Reflection__ In my eulogy for the Fall of Rome, there were both good and bad things. Lets talk about the good things first. I wrote it well, and it was different then most of the eulogies because I made Rome sound like a person, rather then a empire. I also made it sound like I knew the people that also knew Rome, such as Greece. Not only did I make it sound like Rome was a person, I made it sound like Greece, America, and Stoics were people, so that my eulogy would sound more realistic. Now the bad things. I could have had more movement because I was standing straight and frozen. Also it would be better if I looked up at the audience more, rather then looking down at my paper the whole time. These are examples of what I can improve on and things I did well.

__Learning From the Fall of Rome__ A: There are many reasons that American government can learn through the Roman government. So many you can't even count them. The most important one though is to learn from their mistakes, not repeat them. Even if we don't realize it now, America is following in Romes footsteps. Public health by watching and attending boxing matches, where people are hurt and shedding blood. Another example would be military spending; we have spent over a billion dollars on wars in Iraq and Iran. For more go to http://costofwar.com/en/. These are just a couple examples of how we're following them. We need to stop and learn from the ancient peoples mistakes. Cartoon #1: Unemployment; there are people in line because there's a Help Wanted sign. There is also a man in line with a news paper looking at the "Jobs" of it. The company isn't a big shot company, so it shows that the people in line want any job; even if it pays very low. This might show that they're close to being bankrupt and just need money no matter how much the amount is. Cartoon #2: Inflation; as time goes on the meat price is getting higher. The butcher says "How many slices can you afford this week, ma'am?", which might tell that the meat will go higher the next week. The increase in prices in ancient Rome started after Marcus Aurelius's reign, when gold began to decrease. Merchants had to raise the prices for the goods they sold, just like the man in the cartoon is. Cartoon #3: Military Spending; the military man is carrying away three bags full of money with Uncle Sam behind the desk. In Rome, military spending took away money that they could have used for other purposes, such as more housing or more education. This could be why the mother is wondering if there will be any money left for education. The military drained the money out of Rome though. Cartoon #4: Public Health; There are two men boxing in a boxing ring. They're shedding blood, which is going on the floor, which is going in the air, which people are breathing. This is like the Colosseum, where the Romans would go to watch people die for fun. Just like the boxing ring, the Colosseum spread disease throughout the people who would go there, which eventually lead to public health issues,

1/19 __Theory on Fall of Roman Empire__ 1. Station 4- Unemployment 2. Latifundia were large estates where owned by wealthy men and was where the farming was done. Wealthy men used slave labor to do the dirty work on farming. But the farmers had to pay the workmen, and couldn't afford this labor after a while. This eventually caused them to lose or sell their farms for profit. Not only did this weaken the farmer, but it also made the Roman cities filled with unemployed citizens. And not only were these people become a bother, but they had nothing to do, so they raised the crime rate. At one point the emperor was importing grain to feed more than 100,000 people in just Rome. 3. In December of 2011, the unemployment rate fell down to 8.5%, the lowest since February of 2009. Although not the lowest, the average in America is around 5.7%. Jobs in government and the private sector fell 280,000 in the last year. For more on this topic go to http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/unemployment-rate. The Great Depression was a worldwide crash of the US stock market on October 29th, 1929, also known as Black Tuesday, that not only devastated the US, but Australia, Britain, Canada and many more. By mid-1930, interest rates had dropped shockingly low, but expected deflation and by May of 1930, automobile sales had declined to below the levels of 1928. Prices in general began to decline, although wages held steady in 1930. Conditions were worse in farming areas and in mining and logging areas, where unemployment was high and there were few other jobs. In 1931 Hoover urged the major banks in the country to form a consortium known as the National Credit Corporation (NCC). By 1932, unemployment had reached 23.6% and more than 5,000 banks had failed. Hundreds of thousands of Americans found themselves homeless. In response, President Hoover and Congress approved the Federal Home Loan Bank. 4. Do you see any similarities in unemployment in other countries other then US? Do you think we'll meet Romes fate? 5. Do you think Rome could have changed the unemployment rate? How? Why do you think Romans weren't keeping track of their crimes?

__Pearl Harbor__ 1. We learn that we must always be aware of the events that might happen in your lives. We have to be aware of our surroundings and be a safer society. 2. Because there warriors, like the samurai, were important in ancient Japan. The ideas of fighting and war were important to samurai. 3. It affects the families of loved ones who died during the attack. It affects lives when we celebrate Pearl Harbor Day, and honor the ones who died. 4. My feelings are that it's horrible that people had to die that way. I feel bad for the families that had loved ones that died during the attack, and that the attack on Pearl Harbor is just as horrible as 9-11. 5. What are Japanese perspectives on Pearl Harbor? There perspective could be bitter sweet. Because they attacked us, but we returned with a atomic attack on them. What would've happened if they didn't attack us? We wouldn't have attacked them with atomic bombs and not that many people wouldn't have died. The war still would've still gone on, but it might not have been so many deaths. Higher Level Questions 1. What are some of Japan's beliefs? Why do they believe these things? 2. In your opinion, what are some of Japan's greatest achievements? 3. Which one of Japan's civilizations are greatest? 4. How did Japan affect the world today? 5. Is Japan similar or different then China? Why? Great Wall of China Product

__Guess Who? 3 Doctrine and Justifications__ 1. Savanah #2- This quote represents Laozi. The metaphor of a river represents to go with the flow of things. Saying to "Keep things simple". represents that we shouldn't get attached and just live a simple and peaceful life. 2. Abby #2- This quote represents Buddha. It states if one desires or craves they will be unhappy, which is what Buddha focused on. "The more people get attached to objects, the more people will suffer." This shows that if you get attached to an object and lose it, they will suffer, which was Buddha's main focusing; human suffering. 3. Anna #2- This drawing represents Laozi. The colors show balance. Such as the black and white show balance, like it does in the Yin and Yang. The blue and purple blending together show balance and blending together. Laozi focused on balance in life such as the picture does. 4. Marshall #2- His picture shows Laozi. The water below represents calmness and relaxation. The water also shows to go with the flow, such as Laozi would say. Laozi focused on going with the flow of life without worrying. The two stars represent balance. The blue star is calm and the red is anger. 5. Maria #1- This quote represents Confucius. "Listen to your elders" represents to look up to them and listen to what they have to say, which Confucius wanted to teach. "When you don't obey, you'll respect!" represents that the elders have a lot of sage advice that you want to listen or you might learn the hard way later. 6. Quinn # 3- This quote represents Confucius. "A eagle on a perch is like a rightful person. It does not dishonor anyone around it." represents that a true person will not dishonor anyone because if you respect someone it is likely they will respect you back. An eagle is a metaphor for a true person, because a eagle is brave and never disrespects anyone. 7. Person who got it wrong- Perla- Perla but Buddha instead of Confucius. She had all the reasoning right, such as when you respect you get it back for later. 8. I liked how Rosalinda thought of the colors (green and blue), which showed calmness and nature. I didn't think about the colors, but that makes sense with Laozi. Three Doctrine Quotes: 1. We are the lava in a volcano. When we want, we get badly burned and hurt. When we have no pain the volcano calms. When we crave, it's life. 2. When we honor, we get it back. Water is our dignity and faith. With it we live; without it we sink. We sink and have no one to save us. 3. media type="custom" key="11301928" Quotes: 1. People are stuck in a avalanche of craving. If we break out of the web, we break out of sorrow. Buddha- Because he wanted people to know suffering is caused by craving. 2. An honest ruler will go without order, but an un-honest ruler will not be listened to. The kinder ruler has respect. Confucius- Because Confucius created filial piety which means to respect. 3. Highest good is needed to survive. But the highest good is respect and politeness. Confucius- Because he always wanted people to be polite and respectful. 4. The mind is hard to tame, because it shows us the way to suffering. The mind craves craving itself. Buddha- Because he wanted people to de-attach from craving, because that is the road to suffering. 5. The more you make people do what you want, the more they want to break free. Laozi- Because he wanted people to live in harmony, without worrying, without conflicts. 6. Be respectful, serious when needed, and faithful. Buddha- These are all the traits of Buddhism. 7. We should respect our parents because they created us and stop us from harm. Confucius- Because he wants people to be respectful to ones parent. 8. Life and death are journeys and the universe is where we stay before them. Every life should be respected. Buddha- Because he thinks all life should be respected. 9. If we don't worry, be can't destroy or lose anything. Laozi- Because he wanted people to live life without worrying and suffering.

Cyber-hunt 2- The origin of suffering is attachment. The way we suffer is because we get attached to things. Whether its food or a person, we always end up losing it, and this is why we suffer. 3- The cessation of suffering is attainable. We can remove suffering, but it’s very hard. By Nirodha, we can remove attachment and clinging, removing suffering. 4- The path to the cessation of suffering. There’s a way to end suffering. The eightfold path leads to the end of cycle of birth. Suffering, craving, attachment gradually disappears.
