I think i should get a 100 percent in class perticipation. I am always ingaged in the conversations and i always have something good to add. I usally have my hand raised all the time and if you called on me everytime i raised it nobody else would talk. I always bring something new to the table in my statement that spices up the conversation to.

Today we continued to watch the video. We actually finished it up. We talked about wheat and how it is one of the best resourses to have. It never goes bad it is easy to maintain and you can store it. That is how people advanced they stoped worrieing about feeding themselves and started building civilizations. Jared said it was all about the location of were you live because if you had the right resources you could survive. I would agree with him on that. A perfect example is the fertile cresent.

      Today we started class with a lockdown. It was good nobody died so thats a good thing. Then we talked about one thing that helped people do start colinizing. One thing was they had to doemesticate thing. Things like crops for a steady supply of food. Things like goats and elephants are ok but not great to doemesticate. There are 14 animals that are good to doemesticate. Out of how many speciece. That is a very small amount. You wounldnt be able to do a carnivore because then you would have to catch animals to feed it. That is the basics of what we talked about in class today.

Today in class we had a lot to do but i think i got it all. We watched a lot of video. We got into what they ate a lot. There was this tree that was called a sago tree. That was a main source of food for them. It was not very good because it took 4 to 5 days to process. THen it would go bad after a couple of day. It also was not very high in nutritian. We also learned about Drah today. This was the first village ever made. It was crazy to see that they had a systam that acted as a air conditioning unit.
