Questions on Greek values

The top 3 are Justice, Ingenuity,teamwork the 2 that showed up the most were ingenuity and justice.at least 3/4 story's in the first story Penelope and the weaving shows loyalty because he keep loyal to her husband in not getting convince by one of the suitor s and she waited until Odysseus came home and she was ingenuis because for 10 long years she trick the suitors saying i have to finish this weaving and she would take it apart every night and redo it.in the second story were Odysseus is trap by the Cyclops he and his team partners make a plan how to escape from the cave of the Cyclops so they showed ingenuity by drinking the Cyclops until he fell and when he woke up  Odysseus and he his men took a big olive branch heated on the fire and used it to blind the cyclopes. then Odysseus went under one of the sheep's of the Cyclopes and while he was feeling them whit his hand all the sheep's were there but the Cyclopes did not touch their belly.they had justice because they got to escape and go home.

There  are many ways that we can show that we still use some of the Greek values we use respect to other we even this value at ISB then we show athletics becouse we have vary good athletes and those are there values then we do use ingenuity for examples they usually say what a ingenues plan you got when somebody gives an idea of a plan to do something.we have spelling bees in the US  and jeopardy games to show some of these values.

End of unit reflection

The first place I visit is Kenya. It is were the hobbits lived. It is hot because we are in a savanna. Well, it is a rain forest, but it became a savanna. I can hear the birds twitting and singing along, I can hear the hobbits talking in their language, I can feel the wind blowing through my ears, I see the light shining and I can see the rays of the sunlight. I can see Lucy, the first hobbit. She is short and she walks upright. She is bipedal and she belongs to the oldest group of human's ancestors. She looks like a 5 year old girl. If I give a guess, I guess she is 2.5 m tall and from the circumference of her head she probably had a small brain. "Ooh, man, one hour passed, I need to go. Bye hobbits!"

I arrive to a place that it is called Ancient Sumeria. It was located in Mesopotamia and it was right by the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. I can see people working and carrying rock to build something. It is hot. As I look at the location I think it is a really good location for agriculture. There were a lot of challenges for the people that lived there. The climate is semiarid. I think it is a good climate, but too hot for living. Well, my time passed, I have to go! "Bye, bye, Sumerians!" 

Now I'm going to Egypt. I can see the big, huge pyramids and the sphinx. The Egyptian kings and queens are treated by the slaves. I hear their original music and I enter in the king's valley and there are a lot of tombs and hieroglyphics. I smell the agriculture and see that it is being collected by the farmers and slaves. Well, my time is over again! I need to go to India. "Bye, Egyptian people, see you next time!" 

Aah India! Ooh, look at that! I arrived at the Taj Mahal. It has a wonderful story. It shows the love of one of the rulers. He decided to create a tomb for his love when she was dead. Ooh, the fresh flowers and the smell of it! I see the birds flying through and the people talking and visiting the Taj Mahal. Ooh, I ran out of timeeeeee! Ooh, what a trip!Wait, which country am I in? (Boss speaking) "You are in your office. The country is called office!" "Ooh, OK, I'll get back to work!" What a day and a very exciting experience!

The Eghitfold Path

I choose to write about Right effort because I try with a lot of effort  to study and I put a lot of effort in school. In my life I always have good attitude with teachers and adults, but sometimes I have bad attitude. I know I'm supposed to have a good attitude nearly all the time, but what can I do? I'm a human and I need to express myself. So that's a reason why I am right effort and I never give up. Well, if I do it means that what they are making me do or what I'm doing is too much risk or I'm risking my life.

Mapping Project Blog Post

a) How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?

In the area the climate changes. For example, in the Himalayas it is not tropical wet, it is the freezing climate. The majorty of India is tropical wet and dry. In some areas near the rivers it is tropical wet and in some parts it is semiarid. A lot of pepole do not choose to live in the arid areas because it is so hot and in the night it is freezing.

b) What conclusions can you draw?
    (Think about natural resources, climate/weather, and human settlement.)

The humans prefer settling near the rivers in the tropical wet zones. There are 1.2 billion people today in India working with agriculture. Not a lot of people live in the desert, in the arid zones because in the day it is too hot and in the night it can turn up to be freezing. There is a lot of climate change and it only rains 4 inches per year in that zone.
