Student image comparison:

 * Anna's image is like Achievements and Engineering because in the Renaissance painters wanted their paintings to show feelings and since Anna like to writing she probably likes to write down her feelings and emotions.

Middle Ages Screencast: media type="custom" key="14809302"



My thinking: Social Stratification- Medieval Life: Feudalism
 * I think that in feudalism it is fair that people are allowed to move up there social classes.
 * Kings had full power of the Feudalism.
 * They chose what Baron to lease land to.

Warm-up 3/22- Christianity was a great impact in Middle ages. It spread so quickly all through Europe. Christianity spread after the fall of Rome. If Rome hadn't fallen people wouldn't have moved and built cities the marked the begging of middle ages and also people wouldn't want to spread Christianity. 3/21- It was a great impact for the merchants that sold the goods and supplies because since a lot of people went to fairs they would get a lot of clients to buy things from then and they would earn more money. 3/20- Back then in Middle Ages justice wasn't so hard and difficult like it is now. Back then punishments weren't so bad and now for any little thing someone does would get a big punishment and you have to do many things like go to court. In Middle ages only the kings did the justice and nobody had a chance to make a claim or prove their innocence. Whatever the king said it was done but now if you want to make a claim you have to prove it.

Warm-ups 3/19-There was a lot of trade and guilds were formed by merchants. All they could do was trade because they didn't have enough money. I think that it was a great idea for the merchants to form guilds because it brought good buissness and work. 3/15- Chivalry is a code that nights had to follow and it shows how they should live. If they didn't behave well or did something bad they would loose their honor. 3/13- Feudalism is a system of political organization. An organization of social classes that shows the highest and lowest. In social classes Queens/Kings are at the top then comes Nobles, Knights then Peasants. Peasants don't have much rights though like others. Peasants aren't really part of Feudalism because they had no land and without no land there is no Feudalism.

It is now 279, I am Perla a 13 year old child that lives with their parents and my brother and my sister. Both my parents are from the higher class and they got married 2 years before I was born. Since I am now a teenager I have to wear a bodice that ties in the back. My mom has to wear a tunic nor a small dress but her hair has to be in a bun with a tight hat over it. This is how men can tell if they are married or not. My dad is a Lord so he wears a brown coat and felt hats everyday. Since my sister is 20 which is basically an adult that is not married she could either have her hair down or in a braid with a veil. This shows to the men that she is single. My brother is 24 and he helps my father at his job and he wears the same thing as my dad. My mom usually make them the clothes and I sometimes help her since I have nothing else to do. We are part of the Feudal System because my father own a lot of land. Although those who don't own land aren't really part of the Feudal System because without land there is no Feudalism.The Feudal System is a political organization.

Christianity began to spread all over other places. There were many attacks and kingdoms were formed. Many people were struggling to survive. The Middle ages were difficult times of war. When they began to build kingdoms it was the beginning of the Middle Ages. The most helpful that helped spread Christianity were missionaries. Some of them were sent by Popes. There was war after the fall of Rome because other invaders threatened them. I think that the Middle Ages were very dangerous times. Many wars were happening because invaders wanted to take things from them. For example when the crusades began was war because many people wanted the Holy Land.



Warm up-3/5- This image makes me think that there was a lot of war during the middle ages. I kow that there was a lot of war during this time because lots of people were fighting. Some people had flags and I think that the lady on the horse is guiding them. I think that they were fighting for a new religion since the flag had an image of religion or another reason that they might be fighting was for a new leader or people econquering.

Middle Ages

Warm-ups 2/28- I found it most interesting when it talked about the black death because of what the the symptoms and how it caused many people to die. I was also pretty interesting learning about what they thought caused it. 2/27- In the middle ages there were kings, queens and knights and there was a lot of gold.

2/22- Mecca is important to Islam because in Mecca ther e is a sacred place called Ka'ba. Ka'ba is a mosque. Another reason that is important is because Muhammad was born there and he taught the muslims many things. 2/21- Quar'an is a book that had all the teaching of Muhammad.

2/16 Muhammad was 5the prophet of God, Allah at least the Muslims belived that. He brought the religion to Arabia. Pillars of Faith 2/15- 1. decleration of faith 2. pray 5 times everyday 3. Charity to poor 4. Pilgramige to Holy city, Mecca 5. Fasting during Ramadam

2/14 2/13- The greatest achivement of Islam was the religion because it was the way that Muhammad lived. It gave them a way to live, it had duties and it was basically expected. This

religion itself was christianity in which now we have. Christianity spread so fast by Muhammad.

Poem for Geography of Arabia: The piles of sand were mountains The air felt dry as wind ran by

Men on camels Ride, and ride In this burning desert

20 questions pg.51 How is this building important to the islams because i see that there is alot of people? pg. 51 Who built this gresat building? pg.54 Do they ever get lost since there is only deresrt and nothing else to guide or a sign that they are close to somewhere? pg. 63 Did they create their own or was it passed on to them from somewhere else. pg. 64 Are they worshiping someone or God? pg. 63 Who are they worshiping and is there a reason for them to be on their knees? pg. 67 Why are there only boys? pg. 67 Are they each separated(boys and girls)? pg. 67 Why do they have to have the white hat on their head? pg. 77 Is it a tradition for them? pg. 77 What is it for andon what date or dates do they do it? pg. 83 Can they trade goods only with each other or also with other people from other places? pg. 83 Who makes those trades? pg. 65 What does this symbol mean? pg. 65 Why is it on a door? pg. 60 What is in that book? pg. 60 It important for the Islams?

I think that i could of at least looked up so people wouldn't think i wasn't talking to them. I could of at least had a little more of eye contact. Maybe not look at then directly but at least over their heads looking at the back.

Learning from the fall of Rome: A. America goverement can learn that the president should waste alot of money on only one thing because there are many others that work hard and deserve to earn the right amount for wheat they do and not just a little. 1. This picture relates more to unemnployment because many of the people in Rome were looking for jobs anywhere they could find one. 2. This picture relates more to inflanation because the prices were going up. It wasn't cheap anymore. 3. Here in this picture it is related to is Military spending because it shows them taking all the money and a little girl asking if there wil be any money for school. 4. This cartoon relates to Decline in Morals and Values because

Theories: Decline in Morals and Values: There was alot of crime and violence. Also the emperor just wasted money.

Description: The emperor wasted money on parties. They ate and drank until they got sick.

Public Health: There was alot of enviremental health.

Description:The wealthy people had waer taken to their house through lead pipes. Aqueducts were also used and they purified the water but they thought the lead pipes were more preferable.

Compare to U.S: In the U.S the wealthy people to get water taken to their house they have to go buy it at a store themselves. They come in bottles and come purified already.

Political Corruption: For the Romans choosing an emperor was a big problem because they didn't make a system for it.

Description: The choice of an emperor was made by the old emperor, the Senate, the emperor's private army and the army. The emperors private army gained the complete authority to choose a new emperor. In 186 A.D the army strangled the new emperor and then began the practice of selling the throne to the highest bitter. After about 100 years later Rome had 37 different emperors and 25 were removed for assasination.

Compare to U.S: Here there isn't sny emperors its bascally a president. In order to choose a president there is a system made. Presidents are choosen by votes of people. The people running for president give a speech about them and then people vote for who the want.

Unemployment: Many people were unemployed because a farmer couldn't produce good cheaply so others farmers lost or sold their farms since threy could compete with low prices.

Description: The emperor imported grain to feed more than 100,000 people in Rome alone. Compare to U.S: Inflanation: The Roman empire suffered from inflanation which is an increase in prices.

Description: This problem began after the reign of Marcus Aurelius. The flow of gold in the Roman economy decreased when the Romans stopped conquering. Alot of gold was used by the Romans to pay luxury items. Compare to U.S: Urban Decay:

Description:

Compare to U.S: Inferior Technology: The Romans scientific achivements were almost entirely to engeneering and organization of public services.

Descrption: They built roads,bridges and aqueducts. They made the first system of merdicine for benefit of the poor. Romans failed to make new machines or to find new technology to produce good more efficiently because they relied so much on humans and animals. They no longer conquered civilizations and adapted their technology. They were losing territory. Compare to U.S:

Military Spending: Alot of money was spent on military to protect the border from barbarian attacks. Description: The empire hired soldiers recruited from unemployment city mobs. Emperors were forced to raised taxes and caused the inflanation of the empire.

Compare to U.S: Alot of money is spent in the U.S like in Rome. They pay for the uniforms, training, salaries, health care,equipment,facillities, funds operations. The army,navy,marine corps,and air force are all paid in billions. Each of these military services get paid more depending on what they do. Every year the military budget causes a greater inflanation. []

Barbarians:

Description:

Compare to U.S:

Fall of Rome 1. Post the biggest reason for the Fall of Rome 2. Justify your claim 3. Compare to the USA give evidence and site. 4. Higher-Level questions related to your claim about the USA 5. 2 Higher-Level questions related to your claim about Fall of Rome 6. read 4 other posts and comment on their perspective and evidence

The biggest weakness and fall of Rome was that it was split into an eastern and western empire. The both were governed by different emperor so it caused the fall of Rome. The reason

for the split between Rome was because during that period of time emperor Diocletian made the decision to split since it was too big for only one person to rule. It was too big because

it covered Europe, most of North Africa and some of Asia. Also the provinces didn't do what they had to do or what they were told to do. More money was needed to build roads and

enable more growth.

Laozi #1 This figure represents Daoism because the figure in the middle is pacman eating the negative side(black triangle). It is eating the negative side because it is showing that you should worry about the bad things, leave thoose behind. The white triangle on the top represents the positive side and it is making it eat the bad side so you could only think positive.

Confucius #2 This quote represents Confucianism because it is showing Fillial Piety. It showing a way to honor or parents becaus they are the ones that really love us and we shpould respect and obey them always.

Guess who? Justifications

1. Bria #1- This pictures represents Daoism because there are two sides on with a rainbow and the other withh rain. The rainbow shows a sunny happy day and the rainy side shows a sad or negative day. Specially by the way the stick figures faces shows how they feel. For example the one in the rainbow shows a positive and happy attitude and the one in the rain shows negative attitude.

2. Trina #1- This picure represents Daoism because according to the Ying Yang the both sides are even, the bad and the good. In each side there will have to be a little bit of something. In the picture that trina put the both sides have a face that represents good or bad. The side with the happy face has a little bit of good and bad and the bad side does too.

3. Kelly #1- The quote represents something that Buddhism because when she wrote about the closer she got to what she wanted the farther it got from her. This has the meaning of desire causes suffering. Desire is something she wanted and the suffering was that it got father away from her. So whenever you want something there will be suffering.

4. Carly #2- This quote represents the meaning of respecting others so you could get the respect back because some day their help you will need and that help wont be given to you. To me this quote is represent Buddhism.

5. Anna #2- This figure respresents Daosism. It shows the two sides that are equal. The bad and the good. In both sides there has to be a little bit of both.

6. Kelly #2- This picture shows Daoism because in the picture there is nature and peace signs. Another word for peace is harmony and it's all the meaning of living in harmony with nature and things around you.
