The Greeks wrote two kinds of drama, they were tragedy and comedy. A tragedy was a serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal. The dramas had a main character, or tragic hero. The hero was usually a important person with extraordinary abilities. The comedy's contained scenes with slapstick situations and crude humor. The playwrights often made fun of politics and respected people and ideas of the time. The movie Titanic is a tragedy movie I enjoy. Rose and Jack are deeply in love but they cannot be together because Rose is supposed to marrying someone who is in her class, so Rose betrays her families wishes and decides she wants to be with Jack. Jacks end up dying when the Titanic sunk and Rose is heartbroken.

    Good work, Lilly. Titanic certainly had the elements of Greek tragedy - great connection!

The transition from regular school, where we have our teachers right next to us if we have any problems and having traditional tests and classwork to not having any hands on help and everything online has been a big change. I am someone who always needs reassurance if I am doing something right, so not having my teacher there to make sure I'm doing the assignment right has been a struggle for me. I have emailed my teachers for help, but it has never seemed to help. Sometimes the workload can be more then we normally do in school or it just feels like more to me because we are at home, but I know that the teachers are under a lot of stress and they are doing the best the can to keep up with grading and posting assignments every morning. Integrity is something that we all need to maintain doing this time because we should all be treating it like regular school, even though sometimes it can be tempting to cheat. I am hoping that this can come to an end soon, so we can return to school

Today in class Mr. Schick gave us assigned seats and explained how this semester is going to work. He talked about how we are going to take notes the traditional way, in a notebook. Mr. Schick doesn't like students taking notes on the computer because he believes they are a distraction and writing notes by hand helps you to better remember the material. He said that we could only use a composition books because they are more durable and won't get destroyed like a spiral notebook would. Mr. Schick also explained that our blog post has to be 150-200 words and we can word it in whatever way makes sense to us. The reason we just don't turn in our notebooks is because looking at the information and writing it again helps us retain it, this will help us for tests and quizzes. We are also going to be using a textbook, this is different from Human Geography because we did not have a textbook for that course. The textbook is going to stay at school under our desks until we need them
