Today in Class 9/6/16

Today in class we talked and did multiple things. First Mr. Schick made sure that we had all sent him the correct link to our Blogger accounts and it turns out only seven people did it right. After that we went over the essay, “Letter to Garcia,” and talked about how that applied to our lives. We as students must be efficient and persistent about our work, and to just do it. (By the way, just remember that it took place during the Spanish-American War… TEST QUESTION!) We shouldn’t ask questions about why we are doing a task but we should just do it. We also talked about Socrates in Ancient Greece. He was a philosopher who eventually died from a forced suicide. He was put on trial for corrupting the youth of the city-state and not acknowledging the gods. He chose not to have anyone represent him, but he represented himself. He eventually was tried guilty and the punishment was the forced suicide. They put poison in a drink and made him drink it. (Today was also my birthday:) )
