Oh Beware the Ides of March

Oh beware the Ides of march

Oh beware the Ides of March

Oh be-ware

Julius Caesar kills Pompey and starts

To take power over Rome

Cassius goes and talks to Brutus and plants

Seeds of doubt about Caesar

That night there’s a terrible storm who ever

Knew the heavens to menace so-o

Heaven hath infused the spirits as omens

Of Ceasar's bad ru-u-ule

Brutus, Cassius, Casca, and

Decius, Metellus, Trebonius,

Cin-na and Lig-ar-i-ius

Form their plot

The conspirators form their plot to kill

Ceasar at the capitol

Brutus and Caesar ignore their wives which is

A really, really dumb move

Caesar’s wife dreamt of his death his body

Did run pure blood and the roman’s smiled

But Decius did say the dream meant nothing and
Caesar went off to the captiol

Friends, Romans and countrymen

Friends, Romans and countrymen

Friends, Romans, and countrymen

Lend me your ears

To the cap-tol they-a went and they

Did stab Cae-sar kill-ing him right there

So Bru-tus sent for Mark Ant-ton-y to try
To get him on their sigh-ide

Brutus lets them hold a fun-eral  and he

Con-vinced them of Cae-sar's guilt

But mark ant-ton-y then gets to speak and he

Sways the crowd to his own side

Evil spirit of Brutus

You’ll see me Phil-ip-i

Evil spirit of Brutus

At Phil-ip-i

An-ton-y  and Oc-tav-vius make a

Dea-e-eth list and cheat Cae-sar’s will

Brutus and Cassius begin to fight a-cuse

Each other of crimes and lies

But Bru-tus makes an ex-cuse for their

Fight-ing say-ing Por-tia is dea-ed

So they make their peace and go to sleep but Brutus

See’s Cae-sar's ghost be-fore him

O-oh poo-or Ca-a-sius

O-oh poor-or Bru-u-tus

O-oh poor-or Tit-an-ius

They all die

Ba-ttle starts in Phil-ip-i Oct-tavius

And Ant-ton-y ver-sus  the con-spiritors

Cas-sius sends Tit-an-i-us to check the camp
Pin-darus thinks Tit-anius is ca-ap-tured

Cas-sius asks Pindarius to kill him Cea-sar

Thou art re-venged but Tit-anius re-turns

Tit-nus kills him self ov-er dead Cassius and then

Bru-tus comes and kills him-self

So-o call the fields to rest

Lets a-way to part the glories

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-of this

Ha-ppy day

October 24, 2012 and October 25, 2012:

On the 24th, we watched something that was similar to, if not, a voice thread. It talked about art of the revolution. It talked about different styles of art and how well done the art was but also whether the art was accurate to the situation or just history in general. We could see that most art wasn't really historically correct but displayed emotions of the and created a scene that appeared "more" of whatever it was.

On the 25th, we took our memorization quiz for the first half of class. Then we reviewed went over the last few battles and studied for our test.

On the 19th, we watched another cool battle map video thing and took notes on a few more battles during 1776. The strategies each side used were very clever for they used the weaknesses their opponent didn't even realize that they had.

On the 22nd, we talked about our assignments and did a QR code scavenger hunt around the history floor of the building. We had to scan the QR codes, write out the question, and put everything in chronological order. Everyone was fighting to the finish and enjoyed the race. That's about it.

Until next time!

October 17, 2012 and October 18, 2012

On the 17th we divided the groups we made on the 16th and ended up making two big groups somehow. Then each of us shared what we had learned in out section and by the time the class was over, we had all learned a fair amount more about the Declaration than when we had started.

On the 18th, we had a substitute teacher. She basically talked about random things for half the class before giving handing out the assigned reading. It took us until almost the end of class to read the passage independently. After that we were supposed to work on an essay to do with the reading but she didn't explain it very well. Most of us ended up either not reading at all and winging the essay or reading for the rest of class like I did. Everyone else just gave up and talked. I definitely like our normal classes better.

Until next time!

On the 15th, we presented out replica projects. This gave us a brief amount of information on a bunch of different important people we've studied or (hopefully) we'll be studying. That was about it.

On the 16th, we were supposed to get into groups based on either the vocabulary word or definition that we got, but we had to move around because not everyone had a device. After that, we each got a section of the declaration of independence and we took notes on that. Then we turned it into a bit.ly address. (My group's was http://bit.ly/PA8egc) We were quickly handed a key excerpts paper at the end of class and told to memorize it for Tuesday.

Until next time!

On the 10th, we talked a lot about our projects and we looked at the Battles on Bunker and Breed's hill. We saw this cool animation thing to see exactly how the rebels and the British moved. We took notes and had "LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION" drilled into our head.

On the 11th, we split into groups and read about a different document each--either the Olive Branch Petition, Common Sense, and the Plain Truth. Then we split into groups again and shared information again. We simplified everything down to this: the Olive Branch Petition--stick with England but make compromise, Common Sense--break away because they're violating colonial rights, and the Plain Truth--democracy=bad and England=good.

Until next time!

October 5, 2012 and October 9, 2012

On the 5th, we went over our Edcafe and simplified notes so that everyone got the main points and understood the order the events went in. Then, we go the poem Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and some actual facts about the ride. We tried to rewrite the poem as a sonnet but also report more accurately than Longfellow. At the end of the period, we were swiftly handed a bunch of papers, including one that was six feet long, to do with an upcoming project.

On the 9th, we were given papers, that separated us into six groups, to read one document about the "shot heard 'round the world." Each of the papers was from a different perspective and each basically told a completely different story. (In fact one of them didn't even mention who fired the first shot and was confusingly not about the battle. It was just about some people being jerks on the road. This, of course, was the group that I was in.) Before we did this though, we watched a video on how people's memories aren't reliable because they are reconstructed with new information. It was quite interesting. Then we were each given a number and went into those groups to talk about each of documents to the people there. When we put all the information in the documents together, it became very clear that no one will ever really know who fired the "shot heard 'round the world."

Until next time!

October 3, 2012 and October 4, 2012

On the 3rd, we went to the computer lab and worked on our Edcafe with our groups. We made a Google presentation from a bunch of different computers all at once. I continue to be amazed at what we can do with technology. We each did two slides but read the entire passage so that we would be prepared for the Edcafe the next day.

On the 4th we presented our Edcafes by splitting into different groups. I would present to one group while my groups members presented to other groups. Then we would switch around and listen to other peoples presentations. We took a lot of notes but also had debates about which side was right and whether they should have done the things that they did. It was interesting to hear everyone's thoughts. It was also interesting to see which people would go to what group they liked the best just from the title.

Until next time!

September 28, 2012 and October 1, 2012

On September 28th, we learned about how the colonies were similar and different. We learned about how they worked together but each had special attributes. Afterwords, we made Vokis about each section of the colonies--New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. The links to each of them are shown  in the previous post, Voki Classwork Links.

On the 1st of October, we divided into groups and read a handout about the French-Indian war and how it all began. We talked about how the French claimed a lot of land for trade and how George Washington ended up taking aver fort Duquense. (He needed land for tobacco growing.) Even though the colonists ended up winning, the King of England let the Native Americans stay anyway. We also talked briefly about what was to come--no taxation without representation!

Until next time!
