dogs, cats, and steel

Today in class we had a few little surprises. The first surprise was when Mr.Shick brought a dog into class for a few minutes and we got to pet him. The dog also caught the tennis ball we threw so he was pretty chill. We also got to see how Mr.Shick’s vacation was and we found out that his daughter is getting married!!!!! This is a really important moment for Mr.Shick and it means a lot to my class that he showed us the pictures. We also watched more of Guns, Germs, and Steel where we figured out that the three main characteristics that great civilizations have in common are Large Populations, Organized Work force, and I forgot the other one. We also learned that there was a small village called Draa or Daar that is the oldest found village ever. It had what archeologists think was a granary where the people probably had a steady food source. Guns, Germs, and Steel pt.1 will continue tomorrow.
