The book and the rap/ powerpoint are a lot alike. In both they follow the path of how Rome came to be, the leaders that took over, the laws and form of government. However, the book goes into more detail of the topics while the rap and powerpoint sum up the most important aspects of each topic.  On the other hand, the rap/ powerpoint included more facts like comparing the US government to the one of Rome and helpful diagrams while the textbook is more about the main topics no so much the extra's. If i had to choose a favorite it would be the powerpoint and rap for it's simplicity, cut to the point manner, great for studying.

Today in class we watch almost all of the Germs, guns and steel video. We learned when plants an animals were domesticated, we also learned more about Draa and how they lived. We learned about the food that was first in some places around the world like rice in china I thought that was cool because rice is still a big staple of their diet. we learned that the first main crops harvested were corn and squash.
