I got most of mine right by the unit packet so in the future I'm going to review my unit packet before the test. The ones I got wrong were from textbooks. Next time I shouldn't use the textbook as much. On the short answer test I got most of them right from the unit packet so that should be my number one studying resource. The one that was wrong was screencasts so I shouldn't rely on screencasts as much.

Conditions were not Odysseus’s fault, his crew made mistakes too and lacked loyalty because they didn’t listen to Odysseus sometimes and couldn’t be trusted. In one scene the “‘Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!’ my men were mutinus, fools, on stores of wine”(983, lines 45-48) and that got most of his crew killed even when Odysseus told them to go back in the ships. Another scene the crew lack restraint when Odysseus told them to not eat the cattles here and they did “I caught a sight of our black hull, then savory odors of burnt fat. . .”(1012, lines 896-899) which Odysseus clearly told them not to eat the cattle the crew couldn’t help themselves and didn’t listen. The crew lacked loyalty and restraint in most trips especially loyalty making Odysseus not trust them that much.

In this paragraph above I am reading the Cicones scene and I like this paragraph because I think the quote shows what a very good example of what I'm trying to say. I also like the other quotes and they just fit perfectly. My full paper can be found here https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1vEIcNCpIXE6i6lEC44dzgk9un2r0zdPwZL8ABX3QX8Q

My planning process was doing a paragraph everyday and in class time helped because I can get opinion from my friends. My friends and my writing group change my paper because they gave me their opinions and that helped a lot. I'm going to keep a lot of things and definetly gonna let my friends and writing group give me their advice. I will change my planning.

Historical Thinking Unit

1.  Historians read by putting notes in the confusing parts so they can go back to it and shorten chunks. They also mark important stuff so they can easily find it and cross out useless stuff.
2. Historians will write history differently from each other because some people that were there at the event may change the history for their own purposes and some people tell the truth and others may exagerate. People also may write history even though they were not there so they might not know some details.

Thoughts on History

"First Day of School"

1. History is what made things are today.

2. I like it when someone explains things to me then trying it myself.

3. I honestly like history and find it interesting.

4. It look just like a class.

"My thoughts from 9-20-12"

1. History is what changed history and if they actually happened or not, like if Abraham Lincoln died by an assasin how do we know he actually died by an assasin instead of something else. 

2. I like examples and seeing how to do it before i get started so i feel confident and know what to do.

3. I still like history and its fun because it's interesting and finding how if stuff actually happened at a specific time makes you feel like your actually there.
