so today I got to lead the prayer. I had to do it twice, because people were in the bathroom and I had to say it again. we got a blizzard in school but mr. schick would not open the window till the end of class. we continued watching the guns, germs, and steel video. they traveled in the same latitude so they would get the same weather and vegetation.

Today we watched a video called "Guns, Germs, and Steel". The main guy in the video was Jared Diamond who is a professor at UCLA, a biologist, an author, and is passionate in the study of birds. He traveled to Papua, New Guinea to learn what it was like to live there. People have lived in Papua for over 40,000 years with a similar life style. Cargo stands for there material goods. Pre-historical times (about 13,000 years ago) everyone was a hunter or gatherer. Sago- staple food that comes from trees. Barley + wheat were main crops.

Today in class we had the whole time to work on our group projects. We have sculpture and we are making a plate, a hydria, and a type of vase. They were made in a kiln with clay and some were made out of wood. They were carved as well. The pottery stored wheat and meat and grains. They were also used to store ashes of children . The finest clay was called Attic clay, which was the best for making pottery. They put them in a temperature at around 960 degrees Celsius. The potter needed good timing so the vase would not uncolor.
