Did you enjoy your topic? What did you learn about Rome? Other than your own whose RAFT did you like the best and why.
I thought the Rome Rafts were very interesting. I enjoyed learning about the foods that the Romans ate, and what ingredients they used. I learnt a lot about their breakfast, lunch and supper. As well as that they enjoy sauces a lot. I enjoy working with Johnna because we work together well and get the work done. I really liked Joanna's RAFT because it was very entertaining and they put a lot of work into it. I think they planned it out very good and had it well organized, if they would have made it shorter it would have been perfect. But they did a really good job.

Roman PMI
Plus
• The Romans had the best training, biggest Budget, and finest equipment that the world had ever seen in their time
• Military budget is larger than nine other countries put together
• Romans bequeathed a format on how imperial business should be handled, and today the Americans in the United States are implementing the same tactics without fail
• The Romans had great military strength; and the rest of the World undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Roman as well
• Romans embraced their status as masters of the the known world.
Minus
• United States did not form any type of formal colonies
• Both models of government and capitalism are based on the principles of progress through utilization of it’s work force with the lure of the good life as an individual’s goal
• The fall of the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight
• The United States was founded on rebellion against another empire, the British Empire, in the name of freedom and self government
• Few Americans would claim bragging rights on their own imperialism
Interesting
• The fall of the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight
• During the Roman Empire the Romans had great military strength; and the rest of the World undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Roman as well
• The internet began as a military tool, and arguably is one of the most superior inventions of our time, bringing whole nations together in mere nanoseconds.
• Very similar to the Americanization of today's world with McDonalds and Starbucks popping up in the most unlikely remote countries of the world
• It is possible to rule by having others do the work for you, something similar to using a television remote control.

Blog 7- evaluation.
When I do a assignment I always am interested in how I did on it and my grade that I got on it. Sometimes I go on home logic randomly to check my marks and see my overall percentage. Each night when I have my homework I try to finish it all so I can go hangout with friends without worrying about doing homework. I think it makes sense to take marks away when kids hand in their homework late, because you're suppose to finish it on a certain time. If no one had due dates or set times to hand in things, everyone would hand in assignments months later and wouldn't have any motivation to finish their homework.

Blog 6- Presentation by Athena's dad.
I thought the presentation was really interesting to listen to. It was really attention grabbing and fun to participate in. I liked his idea of bingo to get to know everyone, because it was active learning. I would enjoy if he came back.
Blog 5- How did the presentation go?
I thought our presentations went good, we had good transitions and it wasn't too serious. I had fun doing it with Johnna and we weren't nervous at all to be in front of the class. I don't think our presentation was too short, or too long, so we didn't bore the audience. I enjoyed all the presentations because it was interesting learning about all the civilizations. I learnt that you have to be prepared before you start presenting in order for it to turn out well.
