Today was my first day in Mr. Schick’s western civilization class. First part of the class Grace John explained to us what we read before class starts, told us the rules, and told us that we write blogs every night for homework. The rules for the class are to never have your computer open when not told to, and never play games in his class, before class starts or while class is going. Before class Mr. Schick reads “This is the day that the Lord has made” and the students say “let us rejoice and be glad in it”. Mr. Schick explained to us what we type in our blogs. Our blogs consist of what we did in the class or what we took notes on.
