**A Bit more about William Shakspeare-**
William Shakespeare was a brilliant man who wrote many poems, and sonnets, but was most famous for his plays. He writes his plays with great emotion, and they are based on interesting themes such as romance, murder, comedy, and suicide. He understood how to explain what people were feeling inside. This is what made his famous.

One of Shakespeare's greatest achievements was writing plays such as; Romeo and Juliet. This play was one of his most incredible. 'Romeo and Juliet' was a tragic love story. There are books and movies based on this love story.

Art- I Thought that their art was very interesting because it was very detailed and believable. They probably worked so hard on these paintings! Some of the Famous artwork was displayed in museums, and are very valuable... like the Mona Lisa by Da Vinci. This painting is very famous because of Da Vinci's skill in painting. I Find the art extremly spectacular and exciting.



Eulogy

Wow! I found this notebook out of nowhere! This notebook seems really old and I think that I should keep writing, but this time… about how life is after the “middle ages”.

My name is Victoria, and I’m 13 years old. I think life is so improved now! People are more focused on how they’re living, and doing the right things! People are more focused on religion now. Art is very big now also, People nowadays are very creative with sculptures, singing, paintings, and learning.

This generation is more advanced than the last.

Diary Entry 8

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT… THAT PLAGUE GOT TO MY GOOD FRIEND VICTORIA !!! While everyone was fighting in the war, I realized everyone dealing with this crazy plague thing… I see Vicky already mentioned that though. OH--by the way, this is her close friend Becky Styles.

Before my friend…passed away, we lived in the shelter. We got along so well and, just like her, my brother was sent to war.

Well, now that so many people have died, the people who manage the center have decided to move us to somewhere in Spain. It’ll be safe there, and the people who haven’t been contaminated can go free and enjoy the country. We’re almost there and I’m really excited!

* About an week later*

It is 1100 and the Christians are unhappy with so many people that don’t believe in God here in Spain. The King and queen ordered Jews, and Muslims to leave Spain. In France, the Pope requested to persecute non Christians which started a bloody war. Heretics were people that didn’t believe in God and they were killed or sent to jail. In my country Spain, Muslims are in the government but with this war they started leaving because the Christians are retaking the power in Spain.

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella are getting sure that only Christianity is practice and they are establishing The Spanish Inquisition, which is an organization of priests that will punish or kill anyone practicing different religion that Christianity. My friend’s students who are Muslims and Jews are being killed or forced to leave their homes in Spain and they are doing the same thing in France.

Diary Entry 7

Well, 30 years into this war, and no one has given up hope...

Being in hiding for all these years, and they haven’t found us yet? Wow, I’m very surprised! But the downside to being in this shelter is that a lot of people living here have gotten very sick and ill. More than half of the people here have died, and things are very serious.

Scientists have many theories that a deadly plague is wiping out many cities in England. People are calling it “The Black Plague”. Scientists are saying that this plague has started in the battlefield; you know all the dead bodies just lying around. I think that this disease has somehow gotten into the shelter that I’m living in and I’m afraid of getting infected. Most of Europe is infected! Its spreading really quickly and most people are shocked.

You know how rats somehow get into boats? Yeah, well I figure that rats could bite infected people, and get healthy people infected with this plague. I haven’t figured how it is spread, but some of my friends have some good ideas. Some of them say that when sick people are around others, the disease spreads to healthy people. Others say that the rats get onto the boats that trade, and when they get into new places, they bite the healthy people and its spreads from there.

These are good theories but that doesn’t really matter to me; all that matters to me, is that they find a cure… or at least find a way to avoid it!

Diary Entry 6

Today the King of France died. He has no sons; WHOS GOING TO BE OUR NEW KING?! I’m really freaking out because what if we get stuck with some creep?! I saw big crowds of people rooting for the person they wanted to win. From I heard, they want the French man to win. Well of course, he’s from France!

How dare the King of England try to claim the throne! He’s not even from France… and on top of that, HE’S ALREADY THE KING OF ENGLAND!

Later in the week~

WHOO-HOO! HE WON..! The French guy who wanted was nominated won! WOW! But the thing is, that the King of England is really upset and I’m kind of worried...

Later next month~

WERE BEING INVADED!!! The King of England (The one that lost) is invading France with his big army! Right now, I’m hiding in the bomb shelter, crying because they sent my older brothers out to war! :’( Why war? It’ll kill so many people! I feel so alone right now… I hope everything turns out okay.

Diary Entry 5 Today, while I was passing by the market, I saw a group of people that were really mad because they found out that the king has taken mostly all of the wood to build a new castle and barley left any for the rest of us. Today at my school, I overheard some of my friends talking about it. This was serious business, and things had to change. There were a lot of people trying to convince the king to sign the Magna Carta. Wow, people really cared! OH—and by the way, the Magna Carta is a document that defends people’s rights. You know how when the King thinks someone did something wrong, he automatically kills or sends him to jail? Yeah, well this document gave the person a chance to go to court and decide whether he actually did the crime or not. The King has to obey this Document. <span style="font-family: Candara,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The King had way too much power, and I guess the people wanted to change that.

Diary Entry 4

<span style="font-family: Candara,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Wow, that’s weird! I was on my way to the palace when this older man who appeared to be in his 70’s just gave me this journal! Well, I was reading through his last entries and I found some pretty interesting stuff. I thought that I would continue writing and someday hand this to someone else. <span style="font-family: Candara,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Well let me tell you a little about myself… <span style="font-family: Candara,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">My name is Victoria ; I have green eyes, and brown, wavy hair. I’m not easily angered, and have many dreams of living in a perfect town. This life isn’t for me; I wish to live in a great home near London. It’s so beautiful there and I’ve been thinking of all the great opportunities that comes with moving there. <span style="font-family: Candara,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I live in a town where there are a lot of churches and monasteries near Rome. Today I’m visiting my old friend Harry at the monastery where he is currently living at. He is a monk; he went there because he was unhappy with the church’s political nature. He thinks that the worshipers should focus on Spiritual matters instead of wealth and power. I’m going there because I agree with him and to give him support.

Diary Entry 3 //<span style="font-family: Cambria,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Being sent to war… Having to kill all of those people… // <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">It was one of the worst things that I have ever experienced… I felt as if I had sinned. I didn’t want to, but I was ordered to fight in the war that was started by the Pope, because everyone wanted to live in Palestine. We fought, and fought and fought to the death; but neither of us gave up. I was determined to do whatever I could do to win the endless war. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Both of us; Christians and Muslims wanted to control Palestine, also known as the Holy Land, because this is the place where Jesus lived, preached, and died. This place was important to everyone. And we would to anything—ANYTHING to make it ours. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">All of this began when a group of Turkish Muslims captured the city of Jerusalem. This happened during the late 1,000’s… How could something so long ago, affect us now?!

3/30; URL: http://www.npc.umich.edu My topic is: "Poverty in the United States" My thoughts: This topic is very interesting because over the years, more people are starting to lose their houses, losing jobs, and causing them to live in poverty. I know that this topic is important because it is affecting many people in the United States, and it's becoming worse and worse over the years.

November 13, 1073 (Server’s point of view)

Man, I hate King Henry! He’s so bossy and acts like he rules the world! He should be fired and deprived of his power. The Popes deserve this power more than anyone here, and I hate to see it go to waste. This empire is going downhill fast under his rule. Tonight we prepared a nice dinner for the King, but we were interrupted by a messenger who brought news that the Popes were spreading rumors that he was against Christianity! Although this isn’t true, they threw him out! People say that after hours of him pounding the door, the Popes decided to let him back in. They forgave him and gave him his job back on the throne. Wow, even though he was lazy, he never got work done, and he was always making up excuses for not doing work… He’s still royalty, in the blood. As I saw the popes kicking out the king from his chair, all I could do was wonder how the new ruler would treat us**(Stanley, Richard,2006. page 260-263).**.

March 22, 812 (Peasants point of view) __**Life after the Fall of Rome**__ Today we were working in the fields when I overheard two girls talking about a small gathering that was taking place tonight. They were sneaking out; I feared that if I didn’t tell my leader, he would punish me. If I did, the other workers would hate me, so I kept my mouth shut and joined in. I really hoped that my leader; Mason, didn’t find out. The two girls also mentioned that the gathering would be about hope and faith, which I exactly what I needed since my city was falling apart and being invaded. Yesterday, they killed my neighbor… we were so close! It’s like we have no authority. I also heard about something called a monastery. They said they monks live there, worry-free and worship all day and night. It sounds like a paradise compared to my complicated life. Rumors have been going around about a new leader, Charlemagne. He is a smart and great warrior. All of my friends in the fields say he is well-respected here in the village. People say her will be building schools and he’ll teach us about religion. Hopefully, he’ll bring peace and hope to my village!

3/22- The Black death is the most significant because this is when a series of deadly plagues swept through the cities of Europe and killing millions. This event had a lot of impact on Europe because people were unable to do their jobs, and to take care of the cities because people were to busy trying to keep themselves healthy. 3/21- 3/20- 3/19- <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; text-align: center;">Pre Diary-Entry Hey, my name is Victoria. I am a 24 year-old girl from London, but I grew up in England with my dad. I’ve had a pretty good life, considering that I had a mom and a dad to take care of me for most of my life. I have Curly brown hair, and dark brown eyes; people call me pretty but I just can’t get myself to believe them. 3/15- Chivalry is a code of Honor for knights; kind of like Bushido. This represents their loyalty and honor. 3/12- Life after the fall of Rome was simple. They focused on surviving 3/13- Feudalism is the connection between the lords and the vassals in which the vassal has kept his promises to the lord.



3/1- they are alike because these places are popular and they are all in Europe. This affected life in Europe because when places are popular, these places can make more money.

__**Medieval Europe Challange:**__ 1.) Africa is located south of Europe. 2.) These bodies of water might have helped Europe develop transportation by water, and by traveling on water, they could also trade goods. 3.) The cities are located nearby these rivers because they were a great source of water. 4.) Well, these mountains would be good for crops. Usually people can use mountains to have crops. 5.) They most likely did this because they thought that if one person governed, that things would be out of control. 6.) they are alike because these places are popular and they are all in europe. 7.) This tells me that the climate is very humid, and so is the soil. 8.) this tells me that the climate is very good and is able to grow plants that are larger.

2/28- What i found most interesting about the Video Preview was the way that they explained the Middle Ages quickly and easy to understand. They also made it interesting to learn about, i also liked learning about the crusades, and the black death.

__**This is what i know about the middle ages:**__ They had ponies. __**NONONO!! I HAVE MORE:**__ They would joust, and the Knights wore metal to protect themselves in battle.

Patrick & Jack- I Like the fact that the website looks very complete. There was a lot of information that was helpful if you were teaching someone about Arabia. I Liked the letter in the section "Geography of Arabia" I found that interesting to read. Abby & Rachel- Their website is packed full of helpful information. My favorite part were the acheivements on the prezi. i found that intersting because the information was very good, and i liked the pictures. the pictures were really good because they matched the words very well. Carly & Rosalinda- I Liked everything except for the fact that there was nothing for the "Geography of Arabia". My favorite part was the Prezi on the "Five pillars of Faith". Marshall, Quin, & Christian- I liked that the pages were very personalized. all of the pages were really good, and complete work. Perla & Lupita- I liked the Overall information, But The Website diddn't look very complete. It wasn't very personilized, but the work was well done. Savanah, Kevin, Emmi, & Cole- This website is very complete. There's a lot of Useful Information and its very personalized. I liked the picture at the top of each page that resembled the Website name.


 * Warm ups:**
 * 2/22-** Mecca was important to Islam because Muhammad was born there.
 * 2/21-** The Qu'an was the holy book of Islam. It taught people how to behave properly in gods footsteps.


 * 2/16-** Muhammad was a man who spread religion all over Arabia
 * 2/15- Name the five pillars of faith in simple forms?** There is no god but God, pray five times a day, donate, don't eat for a day, & travel to Hajj.
 * 2/14-**
 * 2/13-** The greatest achievement of Islam is Architecture. This is their greatest achievement because the mosques helped them pray. There are many more buildings that helped out Islam grow bigger and stronger.

** My understanding of the five pillars of Islam ** To me, the five pillars are like promises that Muslims had to keep. The first pillar is to say “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is his prophet”. This pillar helped sustain faith The second pillar is to pray five times a day. You were supposed to pray once before sunrise, once at midday, once in the late afternoon, once after sunset and lastly once before going to bed. The third pillar is to donate to people in need at least once a year. This shows compassion for others, and is very important in Arabia. The fourth pillar is fasting. Fasting is when you don’t eat or drink. Muslims do this every day in the month of Ramadan. The Muslims believed that doing this, they can show how important God is. This is also like putting God in front of them. The fifth pillar is that each individual must travel to Mecca at least once in their lives, if they are able to. They do this because by doing this, they visit the most sacred place in Islam, The Kaaba. ** Images Relating to the Five Pillars **



Page 51~ Did this building have much influence to Islam? Was it important? Page 54-55~ Were camels the best transportation in Islam? Page 57~ Was there a lot of Homeless people in Islam? Or are the people in this picture selling? Page 58 ~ Did Markets in Islam have inflation? Page 61~ Was there one popular religion in Islam or was there many scattered religions? Page 62~ Did the Mosque building have anything to do with helping peope to pray? Page 63~ Was this the official written language of Islam? Page 65~ Was the hand of Fatimah the symbol of a religion? Page 67~ At what age were kids supposd to start learning? Page 68~ Were the Five Pillars of Islam part of religion? Page 77~ Are those long silver sticks a type of instument? Page 81~ Why did they end when Muhammad died? Page 83~ Was trading perfume successful? Page 85~ Were those colors great for decorating most buildings? Page 92~ What was this building? How did it help Islam? Page 94~ Was the Astrolabe like a compass? Page 95~ What other countries did Islam trade with?

Honestly, My presentation was a bunch of facts and ways that we can save the empire. Mine was not the best Presentation, i admired the gestures and Voices that others used. My Report was Good, however, i diddn't use any gestures. I Had some great facts and ideas how to save Rome.

__**Learning From the Fall of Rome:**__

1.) Unemployment, because people in this picture aren't trying to find a good job, They will take any job.

2.) Inflation, because the prices are ridiculously high and the lady cant afford to pay for the meat. the smaller the meat is, the more it cost, which made it ridiculous.

3.) Military Spending, because the Emperor is running off with the money to pay for military instead of education.

4.) Decline in Morals and value, because the people in this picture, are fighting for the enjoyment of others.

5.) This picture shows Urban Decay because it has a picture of a homeless person and in Urban Decay, people were kicked out of their homes if they couldn't afford the rent, making them homeless.

 * 1) What should we learn from Pearl Harbor? //**The Japanese attacked the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor.**//

Extra: I Was watching ghost hunters explore Pearl Harbor while finishing this assignment and it is said that there are some hauntings, possibly the people who died there, in that area. __**Japan Questions:**__ 1. I Think that the seas influenced Japan because when people traded things they usually had to go on foot, with seas, they could travel faster. therefore making it easier to trade things. 2. I Think that Honshu became the center of power in Japan because it is an important center of production and agriculture. 3. I think that maybe these mountains helped unite Japan because these i think that some people might have used these to farm or they could have been an obsticle for enemies. 4. 15%. This affects Japan because the more agricultural land there is, the more food there is. Japan doesn't have have much Agricultural land so they don't have much food. 5. I Think that they were good locations for capitols because this there were a lot of temples and shrines made in this area. 6. i think that Tokyo was the most populated area in Japan. 7. i think that this was the most populated area in Japan because Tokyo, the capitol of Japan is located in these plains. 8. I Think that these neighbors affected Japan because since Japan diddn't have much farming land, they could rely on these people to trade stuff.

China Final Project media type="custom" key="11498716" I Chose the great wall of china because i thought it was an interesting thing to do a presentation on. The Great Wall of China Interested me in many ways. i kind of wanted to learn more about the wall while doing the research on my project. i learned about how they disposed of people, built it and ran out of the first materials that they were using, which parts were first open to tourists, and that long ago they built the Great Wall for protection against the Southern and Northern.
