We have core for two periods. It is where english and world history are put together. English is always the first period then the second period is history. In engligh we just go over our SVG packets. Which means spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. We go over subjects, predicates, complete sentences, fragments, direct noun, proper nouns, just all kinds of nouns. Then when we are done we have to take an SVG test. In history we learn about different civilizations. We take cornell notes most of the time on the chapters we are learning about. Then after the unit we are learning about is over we have a simulation. The simulation is kind of like a reinactment of the chapters. Well in my opinion core is super fun.

click for larger image
This is the Fall of the Roman Empire poem we had to create in Core class using Microsoft Word 2010. . We had to give five or six reasons why the Empire fell. We also had to give atleast one sentence about the Byzantine Empire. The senctence could have been about their trade,connections, what their leader was in charge of, and what thier government was like.
We had to put these thing in order of which they happened. In the poem we had to include ryhme, alliteration, or refraine. At the end of the poem we had to include a picture from ancient Rome. We also had to give our poem a title.
I learned the main reasons why the Roman Empire fell, which were because of laziness, corruption, greed, and forgetting about what made Rome so great in the first place, and the troops not wanting to fight anymore. All of those reasons are why Rome fell. I also learned aboutotu the Byzantine Empire. I learned about thier sucess,and all of their trade and connections. Those are the important things that I learned from this document.
