Bellringer 4/24

I think that there is no rationality behind the idea that video games sparked this man's violent attack. Even claiming that he got his training from a video game is a ludicrous idea. Learning to press a button in a video game is completely different from loading and firing a real gun. While video games can spark an interest in violence as a young child, a fully grown man should know better, and be able to distinguish between reality and video games. Overall, I think the whole idea of video games causing massive shootings is ridiculous.

14th century

Agricultural and industrial revolutions

Subsistance farming- growing only what your family needs.
Enclosure movement- starting fencing all the common ground off
Common ground- land owned by everyone
Small families had farms taken and given to larger families in the enclosure movement
Tenant farmers
Those who couldnt be tenant farmers were forced to move
A man named Jethroh Toll was concerned about the amount of seed wasted by hand seeding, so he invented the seed drill, which made it more efficient to plant seed and plant in straight rows, made harvest easier and more efficient
Crop rotation, growing different plants in different areas every year
Changed from wood plows to metal plows, created interchangeable plow, replaceable blades
People moved to cities for work, was no work, because of factors of production, Great Britain volunteered to be the leader of the industrial revolution, had a lot of natural resources, top two were coal and iron ore, three factors of production are resources, land, and labor
Water was another main natural resource, it was important for food, transportation, and mills for energy, the spinning mill wheel powers factories, disadvantages were flooding and drought, rivers also allowed for the spread of ideas
The textile industry exploded, (not literally), created clothing by hand, mechanizing of the clothing industry with the sewing machine
Steam engine is created, could now power boats and trains,

1st Person Rennasaince

     My name is Donato di Niccolo di Betto Bardi and I am a famous sculptor and painter more commonly known as Donatello. I was born in Florence, Italy in 1386. I later died at the age of 80 in Florence, Italy on December 13, 1466. I was mainly famous for my work in Bas-Relief sculpting.
     I was educated in Florence in the house of the Martelli family and recieved my early training in the arts and other types of crafting from Lorenzo Ghiberti. I then traveled to Rome to work with Filippo Brunelleschi and made money on the side crafting in goldsmith shops.
     Then, I returned to Florence to work on sculptures and a few paintings. Some of the works I completed in Florence include, the seated figure of Saint John the Evangelist, a statue of St. Mark, and St. George. I worked on several other sculptures which included helping Lorenzo Ghiberti with the Statue of the Prophets in front of the Florence Baptistry. One of my most famous works in Florence was the statue of David. I created two versions of the statue, a bronze version, and a marble version. This is not the same statue of David most people know which was carved by Michelangelo. This is the original which portrays David after finishing his battle with Goliath and his head lays severed between his legs.
      I spent my final years in Florence where I worked on the Duomo again and sculpted several other statues for the Duomo series of statues which I had created several years earlier. My final commision was to design and sculpt reliefs for the bronze pulpits in the church of San Lorenzo.

Crusades Notes

The Crusades began when the Seljug Turks took control of Palestine, known among Christians as "the Holy Land." They then attacked Asia Minor in the Byzantine Empire and threatened to take the capital of Constantinople, so the emporer requested help from the Pope,Urban II, in Rome. The Pope called together all the bishops and feudal lords and told them they would help retake the "Holy Land." This began the crusades, a series of military expeditions to retake the Holy Land. About 10,000 Europeans took up the cause and sewed a cross of cloth on their clothes.

The Frist Crusade lasted from 1096 to 1099. French and Italian lords led several armies of crusaders to Constantinople.The emperor was nervous about letting the crusaders into Constantinople for fear of them capturing the city. The crusaders lacked enough food oand water but after the captured Antioch the French fleets brought supplies.

The Second Crusade began in 1147 when Louis VII of France and German king Conrad III led seperate armies and met in Damascus, even with the combined forces, the crusade failed.

The third crusade began in 1189 after the Muslim lead Saladin recaptured Jerusalem. Three leaders, Holy Roman Emperor Fredrick Barbossa, King Philip II of France and King Richard I of England led seperate armies but the Romans turned back when Emperor Barbossa drowned and King Philip turned back due to quarreling between himself and King Richard. King Richard attempted to take Jerusalem but failed and settled for a peace treaty which granted him some land and Christians access to Jerusalem.

The fourth crusade never really got started because the first crusaders attacked Zadar, a Christian city, and were excommunicated by Pope Innocent III. The second attempt resulted in the capturing of Constantinople, another Christian city, the city remained under European control for about 60 years. The Byzantine EMpire recaptured it but lost it to the Turks and the empire crumbled shortly after.

The Childrens Crusade was extremely unsucceful and resulted in the loss of thousands of children from Germany and France. The Crusades finally ended in 1291 when the Muslims captured the last Christian stronghold, Acre.

One of the main weapons was the crossbow.

Vow of Silence

     The vow of silence wasn't really that hard. It was slightly difficult to communicate quickly in groups, but we made it work. Any work we did on our own was easy to accomplish without talking. The hardest thing to do was to get someone's attention if they were out of arm's reach. The riddles about the booths were a little challenging without being able to talk about it but it wasn't impossible.
     A whole day without talking might be difficult. It would be hard to work in other classes without being able to talk, particularly Spanish. Communicating with my family at night would also be very difficult even though we all know some sign language. The worst part about it would be not being able to talk to my friends at all and having to right notes to communicate anything.
     I learned from the vow of silence that while it isn't impossible to get things done without talking, it is a lot more difficult. Communication is a focal point in working together and it takes a lot longer to write everything down and show it to everyone you're working with as opposed to just saying it to everyone at once.
     The best skill to have when you couldn't talk would probably be to know sign language, or maybe to be able to read lips. Writing quickly and legibly would be another important skill to possess, for at least one person in your group anyway.

notes

His songs were often about love or the glory of kings

Notes

Anglo-Saxan came about when the Anglos and the Saxans combined to from Angoland, now England. Shires were like sheriffs now, they collected taxes. Alfred the Great was the first king, the last Anglo-Saxan king was Edward the Confessor. When Edward died a war started because he had no heir, 2 people fought for the throne, Herald Godwinson he was the brother-in-law and the other person was the Duke of Normandy, William, he was Edward's cousin. This lead to one of the top 100 most important battles in history, the Battle of the Hastings, it was over quickly, William beat Herald terribly and was named William the Conqueror. He wanted to get things done quickly, he the first to take a census since Roman Times, the census tracked everything in your household and was used to tax you, the imformation was put into a book called the Domesday book, they nicknamed it the Doomsday book, when he dies he is succeeded Henry I. He was replaced by his grandson Henry II.
     Henry II decides he wants to make the church clergy accountable and together with the government. His friend, the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket disagrees with Thomas and goes to meet with him and the argument gets very heated. Thomas leaves and Henry says "I wish he was dead" Not meaning for it to happen. Four knights eavesdropping on the conversation and decide to carry out his wish. They follow Thomas and stab him in the church, on Christmas Eve. This effectively ended Henry II's rule. Thomas Becket was canonized 150 years later.
     Henry was replaced by his son John, he went to war and had to tax heavily, as much as 87%, the people meet in the town of Runny Mean and create the Magna Carta. John is forced to sign it. The Magna Carta is the basis of our constitution.
     The Magna Carta is a cornerstone in many modern governments including the US Constitution. It was designed to limit the king's power. It also gave a group of barons the right to fight him if he violated it.

United Kingdom

I believe a trip to the United Kingdom would be a very interesting trip. One of my favorite time periods in history is the Medieval period. I would really like to see the various castles and other remnants from the Medieval and Renaissance eras. Scotland would probably be my first stop due to it having the majority of the castles in the UK.
