Ashley Ziarnick's School Work

Science- We talked about droughts and water.

History- We reviewed Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, Octavian Caesar, and Tiberius Caesar.

English- We read chapters 3-4 in the book “Swiss Family Robinson.”

Math- We reviewed Multiplication and counting, sample spaces and probability, and probability tree diagrams.

If you are not too long, I will wait for you all my life. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Science- We read an article about conservation.

History- We talked a Tiberius Caesar. He was the 2nd Emperor of The Roman empire. He was the step-son of Octavian Augustus Caesar. Tiberius was eligible to be consul despite being not old enough. He was named to successor after Octavian become ill, but he recovered. A few years later he got married and had a son. A few years after that after the death of Marcus Agrippa, Octavian forced his son to marry his mother-in-law and divorce his wife. He was not happy about this marriage. After his fathers death, Tiberius became the new emperor.

English- We started to read a new book called Swiss Family Robinson.

Math- We talked about probability tree diagrams.

It is a sin to believe evil of others, but it is seldom a mistake. H. L. Mencken (1880-1956)

Science- We talked about treating wastewater or known as sewage.

History- We talked about Octavian Augustus Caesar. He was the adopted Nephew of Julius Caesar. He defeated Mark Antony and was now the supreme ruler. He expanded Rome and made the Rome Republic the Roman Empire. Octavian made peace and there was close to no wars during the time he ruled.

English- We reviewed grammar like how to use apostrophes and colons, punctuating titles, and italics.

Math- We talked about sample spaces and probability.

If thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. George Orwell (1903-1950)

Science- We talked about groundwater pollution.

History- We talked about Mark Antony and Cleopatra. There was a triumvirate consisting of Octavian, Marcus, and Mark Antony. There were all consuls at some time. Octavian and Antony were fighting it out over sole power because they both wanted it. After this Octavian took Rome and Mark Antony took Egypt. They still wanted to rule all the territory, but they decided it was fine the way it was. Antony fell in love with Cleopatra. They made a private Empire. Soon they went to war against Octavian and lost. They died in a jail-sell by committing suicide. And because of this Rome was now The Roman Empire.

English- We talked about punctuating and italicizing titles.

Math- We talked about Multiplication and counting.

It’s not death, but dying, which is terrible. Henry Fielding (1707-1754)

Science- We learned about aquifers. An aquifer is water underground so if you deep enough you can come across water. Wells start off as an aquifer, people dig into the ground and they come across water, then they build a little system to get the water out, so it becomes a well.

History- We talked about Julius Caesar and Pompey. Pompey was a victorious General in Spain. In 70 BC Pompey and his friend Crassus returned to Rome and demanded that they be Consuls. In 60 BC they both made an alliance with Julius Caesar. They worked together and became a triumvirate. In time they all became Consuls. The triumvirate did not last very long because Crassus died in battle, Julius took part in politics, and Pompey was given a command in Spain. In 48 BC Julius fought against Pompey’s army and he won and killed Pompey because he was trying to take control of the government. He made himself Dictator of Rome and made it permanent. Julius instituted important reforms. Not everyone was happy with him being the permanent Dictator so, he was assinated by his own friends.

English- We talked about capitalization in titles.

Math- We reviewed the Exam.

Attention to health is the great hindrance to life. Plato (428 BC-347 BC)

Science- We talked about Urban erosion and Sediment control. When erosion happens small dirt and rocks particle get thrown everywhere which can lead to sediment.

History- We reviewed Carthage and the Pyrrhic War and the Punic Wars which lasted many years.

English- We talked more about apostrophes.

Math- We reviewed the Coordinate plane and Math problems on the coordinate plane. After that we did a math exam.

When I feel like exercise I lie down until the feeling passes. Robert M. Hutchins.

Science- We reviewed wind erosion, soil conservation, dams/watershed conservation, and wetland conservation.

History- We talked about the end of the 2nd Punic war and the 3rd Punic War. Hannibal Raided into Rome lasted 17 years, he was marching around Italy and taking out many Roman soldiers. He was unable to defeat the large armies. One of the Roman’s leaders cut off Hannibal supply line, so Hannibal was not able to get any resources. Now the were stranded in Italy, so he was forced to retreat. The war ended at the the battle of Zama. Carthage lost big time and Rome won. The third Punic war started more than 30 years later. While Rome was fighting other people the Carthage slowly recovered. Rome soon declared war on them because there were upset that they had a large army, but were not fighting. The third Punic war only lasted until Carthage was completely dead.

English-We talked about punctuating with colons and apostrophes.

Math- We talked about getting equation from graphs.

Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion. John Berger (b. 1926)

Science- We talked about conservation of wetlands.

History- We talked about Hannibal and the second Punic War. Hannibal war the son of a ruler in Carthage and was told never to befriend Rome. Hannibal became the leader after his father and brother-in-law died. Rome became scared of Hannibal. Hannibal concerned many cities and declare war on Rome. Hannibal raided Rome. Hannibal was such an amazing general because every family lost at least one person. Hannibal did not defeat Rome. When he finally got to Rome he was to weak to go any further. Tomorrow we will be learn about the 3rd Punic War.

English- We reviewed Punctuation.

Math- We Talked about the Point-Slope Equation.

You Can’t reason with a hungry belly; it has no ears. Greek Proverb

Science- I watched some videos about dams and how they work, mainly the Hoover Dam. I also learned about watershed conservation practices.

History- Today we talked about the Punic Wars the lesson will continue tomorrow as well. The Punic war started because after the Pyrrhic war this war started because Carthage and Rome wanted to see who was better because two people were in a fight and they wanted to take over some land so Carthage and Rome fought over it. The first Punic war ended after 23 years because of exhaustion. Nobody won. The Punic wars continued, but we learn about that tomorrow.

English- We talked about punctuating with dashes.

Math- We talked about the slope-intercept equation.

I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come up to the top. John Keats (1795-1821)

Science- We talked about soil conservation practices. Which is how to deal with soil erosion.

History- We talked about the Carthage, and the Pyrrhic War. Carthage was founded the year 814 BC., Carthage is located on the coast of North Africa. According to the legend, it was founded by a Phoenician Queen names Elissa. When her brother became king she fled to make a new kingdom.

The Romans and Carnthage won, but this set up and Punic Wars, which we learn about tomorrow.

English- We talked about punctuating with Hyphens.
