1. Explain the Teachings of Martin Luther and his actions against the Catholic Church.
Well he believed some of the teachings of the Catholic church. That they started good, but now that there was like only one religion the Catholic church was using it's power for wrong things. Martin Luther didn't like this and he posted ninety five of his theses, or things he didn't like about the Catholic church, on the Church so everyone could see them.
2. Identify the other influential people during the Reformation.
Another monk by the name of Girolamo Savonarola also wanted a reformation. But the Catholic Church executed him. Another man named John Calvin spread Protestantism. I personally don't like John that much. I don't like his Ideas, I think they are wrong. When Martin Luther says it doesn't matter what actions you take all that matters is your faith in God, and that you should read the bible because it has all of the truth in it, he even translated it to German so they could read it. But John Calvin says we were Predestined, that we already were chosen where we were going to go before we came to earth, that our actions on earth didn't matter, because we were already chosen. The people said that is this were true then they didn't have any motivation to do anything good. He countered that by saying you should live good lives to show that you are chosen by God.
3. Explain the Counter-Reformation.
Well the Catholic church decided to try a reformation after Queen Elizabeth I. One of the things they did was train better priests because that was one of the complains on Martin Luther's list.They also had new Religious orders such as the Jesuit Order where members worked as missionaries and preached all around the world. Another one was getting rid of everything that was bad even through violence if necessary.

The Effects of the Renaissance on Everyday Life
1. Explain how the Renaissance movement changed the everyday life of the people of Europe.
The Renaissance had a lasting effect on the people in Europe because of the Printing press. Before the printing press not everyone could have a book, only the rich people could own books because of how expensive they were. But when the Printing press came around almost everyone could own a book.
2. Explain the impact of the printing press on the lives of the people of Europe.
Well now that they had a printing press they could all own books. Before that the books were hand written and were much more expensive. It was a good impact. People from far away could read about things happening in France.
3. Explain how the printing press evolved.
Well first you had to invent paper. The Chinese were credited for inventing paper. Then you had to stamps words on the paper. But with the printing press you could stamp whole pages at once. Johann Gutenberg is the man that got the credit for taking the last step and actually completing the printing press. The first book that was written was the Bible which I think was awesome.

the Renaissance
1. So I am going to say a few thing about some significant people of the renaissance
The first one is Francesco Petrarch. He was a scholar and he dedicated himself to discovering and studying old manuscripts. After he got the manuscripts he had to verify their authenticity, (to see if they were real) which was very hard. He also researched about other people like St. Augustine and Cicero. Because of what he did the world now hoe has more knowledge of who the classical writers were and what they said.
The second one was Niccolo Machiavelli. He was an author. I don't like his ideas that much. He says like that you should cheat and be dishonest to achieve your goal. So like it doesn't matter how you achieve your goal all that matters is that you achieve your goal. He also wrote a handbook called the Prince.
The third person is Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes is the author of Don Quixote. It is a book about the medieval lifestyle. He represents the Renaissance spirit by his skills of a wide amount of knowledge.
The fourth man is William Shakespeare. You might know him for some of his plays such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Othello. He is probably one of the best English writers ever. An example of that is that he invented hundreds of words that we now use today.
The Fifth person is Leonardo da Vinci, which means Leonardo from Vinci. He was an incredible artist and known for some of his masterpieces like the Mona Lisa. He also did a lot of human anatomy and dissected dead bodies. He also made his own flying machine. He was a big part of the Renaissance movement.
The Sixth person is Michelangelo. He was mostly known for his work on the Sistine Chapel. He is also was good at poetry and designing. Every day he would spend hours on his backside depicting Biblical stories with his art.
The seventh man is Raphael. He helped Influence the works of Leonardo and Michelangelo. He was also one of the first artists to start using brighter colors in his works. He like Michelangelo also maintained a very religious theme in his artwork.
The Eighth person is Donatello. He was one of the best sculptors to come out of the Renaissance movement. He was best known for hist statue of David. He was one of the first to make a statue with just one person not a lot of people. You could focus on David from all sides because it was only him.
The ninth and last man is Jan van Eyck. Jan van Eyck was known for his exceeding attention to detail. His art looked like photographs. Throughout all of his art he maintained a strong religious theme.

The beginning of the Renaissance
1. Define Renaissance.
Renaissance is the time in Europe when everyone wanted to focus on being good at everything. Like not really good at one thing and bad at another but pretty good on both of them. Renaissance also means rebirth. They were being re birthed back into a time where everyone wanted to learn and be good at everything.
2. Explain why it started in Northern Italy.
It started in Northern Italy because there was a lot of trade going on around there. A lot of wealthy merchants were in Northern Italy, and because they didn't have to work that much (because they were so rich) they had more time to study.
3.Explain what a Renaissance person is like.
A Renaissance person was very knowledgeable in almost everything. They tried to learn everything and be equally good at it. Not to good at one thing not to bad at one thing right in the middle.
4.Explain how the Renaissance movement was different in Northern Italy and the rest of Europe
Well the farther north you went the more people were focused on religion. Because they were focused on religion they believed God wanted them to be better people so they tried harder and studied more.

Arrival of the first Americans and Plains Indians
1. Explain the four theories on how the Americas became inhabited
Well the first theory was the Ice/Land Bridge theory. It said that Russia was touching Alaska by either the ice or by land.
The second theory was the Native Americans had always lived in the Americas.
The third Theory was that some of the ten tribes of Israel got scattered to the Americas.
The fourth Theory is the most unlikely. It is that the sailors got lost and ended up in the Americas. But you need men and women to start life so unless there were woman on board this doesn't work.
2. Explain how and why people spread out once they were in the Americas.
Well the hunters and gatherers had to roam for their food because they didn't grow it they had to find animals and fruit to eat. So they kept on spreading. They also wanted land for themselves
3. Explain how the Plains Indians adjusted to the environment they lived in.
Well they killed a lot of buffalo to eat but when the United states killed almost all of the buffalo they didn't have much to eat. Then the Americans taught them how to grow food. Then they got horses so they could hunt even better.

Americas Geography
1. Explain the four unique characteristics of the rain forest
The four unique characteristics of the rain forest are Precipitation, which is another word for moisture. There is a lot of moisture in the rain forest because of the many rain storms.

Rain forests are also very hot because they are close to the equator. They are also humid because of the heat and the moisture.
The third one is that there are many plants in the rain forest. Some are useful like to help wounds or for eating.
The fourth one is that there are many animals. The rain forest is home to many animals and some of them only live in the rain forest, like some poisonous frogs.

Panini world cup stickers
So I recently ordered some Panini world cup soccer stickers + an album to put them in. Now I had done this 4 years ago for the last world cup. I had actually gotten some of the best players there like, Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, and Neymar. I had gotten the book as a gift then from one of my soccer friends. So I had to buy the packs individually. I remember when I got Ronaldo. Dad had gone into the store and came out with a pack of cards. I opened them and there was Ronaldo! I was so happy, because at that time Ronaldo had been my favorite player. So when I went to order the stickers again this year I found a good deal at walmart. 45 dollars for the album and 50 packs of 5 stickers each which is 250 stickers altogether. My dad wanted to see if there was anything that was cheaper and found one on amazon which was 40 dollars for the same thing. But in the reviews no one got the album with the stickers. So we didn't get those. Then we ordered the ones from walmart. I can't wait to get the stickers, they will get here on may 16th. I think either Spain or France are going to win the world cup this year. So I will get all of the players for those teams.
