We had a discussion today in class about what we though was more important, gun powder or the printing press. I was all for the gun powder because so much had come from it and there was so much good from it but also alot of bad. But as the discussion got to an end the people who were on both sides they came to a agreement that they were both important and that they helped the world in different ways and in the same ways. For example the printing press made it so that we could have books and have them be spread all over the world. the gun powder helped us get through mines quicker and to make fire works! Mr. Dye gave a great example that we couldn't have had the American Revolution with out these two objects.

Islam

I was so happy that we got to do the Islam projects! They were so much fun! I loved learning about there culture and people. I learned so much more than i would have on my own. It was amazing to me how much they cared for the poor and those who are in need. I loved how Masa came and talked to us about how they prayed 5 times a day and how devoted they were to their religion.

Picture Drawing
