today we started a new power point. it was about the church and st lutheran. there were some side stories too. i had a bad day so i don't really remember to much but ik about the 95 theses of why the church is bad luther became a monk after making a vow to st. Anne to save him when he though he was near death after a lightning bolt striking near him flipping him off his horse onto the ground. He was a lawyer because thats what his dad was gonna be. Mr.Schick was gonna be a priest. when he was telling us his story it almost seemed fake for some reason lol thats about it though. \ i like this unit better then the last one though cause rome and greek were boring. This is the only cool one.

i read the textbook today. that was it. oh also questions. fun 1. indulgence- released a sinner from performing the penalty that a priest imposed for sins reformation- a movement for religious reform lutheran-  Luther and his followers had become a separate religious group protestant- signed protest princes who supported Luther signed peace of augsburg- famous religious settlement formed by princes annul- set aside anglican- church of England set up by Queen Elizabeth 3. Princes started to sign protests bringing more money for churches to be built. More followers came along and cities followed the Lutheran religion 4. Protestantism  developed out of the Reformation, the 16th-century protest in Europe against beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church 5. Henery  made people turn against the pope, in attempt to be in charge of the churches. This allowed him to get a divorce and find a woman who was young, so he could have a so n. 

So today was okay, it was last mod and i was really ready to go home. But i like learning about the renaissance. it is cool. it reminds me of the turtles. its better then rome and stuff. Im not looking forward to the exams though. im really ready to get out of the school not d tests though. but once they are done there done. the whole class we just took notes on a power point. it was kinda boring but the material was cool. i need to start making my study guides and quizlets. i have an 88.5 in this class so i really need one point so Mr.Schick if u are reading this some extra credit would be really appreciated. thanks.

1. Renaissance- movement in Italy that lasted from around  1300 to 1600.  caused an explosion in arts and creativity humanism-  an intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements secular-  worldly rather than spiritual and concerned with the here and now patron- Church leaders who spent loads of money on art perspective-  shows three dimensions on a flat surface vernacular- Native  language  3.man- introduced the idea that all educated people were expected to create art,  man who excelled in many fields was praised as a “universal man.”,  Baldassare Castiglione  wrote a book called  The Courtier,  charming, witty, well educated women- classic and charming, inspire but not create art, better educated,  few women, such as Isabella d’Este, did exercise power,  4. Italy had many good sized towns, urban, city states, forced to pursue art after war making it there main focus 5. ...

Class was okay. I don't really remember what we did but thats okay i guess. ummm i got an 80 percent on my test which brought my grade down to a B after i tried so hard to bring it back up to an A which makes me really really mad. I want to get an A in this class and i feel I should but it is what it is. Still think its unfair, even if i would have gotten a 100, that we took a test in the first place. Why do we always have to take written tests? why not switch it up. All we did was one presentation which we barley had any time to do that either but whatever. question- 1.

The test was okay, idk how well i did. I studied i just felt like even though we read and did worksheets and all, it was a lot of information to cram in. We definitely needed more days or activities to review outside of a power point. It felt rushed and we should have just not had a test at all but it is what it is. Like in this case since Schick was out for so long,, we should have used the information to make a power point and presentation worth a test grade. I feel like there should be a variety of ways to test students instead of just written tests. I remember the information a lot better if i do a project on it then if i take a test; the information just falls out of my head.
