Mr. Schick Rap Battle Star

We kicked off our class today with a very intense rap battle between Cody and Mr. Schick. Mr. Schick laid down his paper clip along with some rhythms that beat Cody's attempts. After that we went over the test again to the people who weren't there the day before. We discussed the Socrates essay more today and how he was one of the most influential speakers of his time. Socrates actually trained the philosopher Aristotle who also became one of the most well known philosophers. We talked about how Socrates could've gotten himself out of killing himself but chose not to. He had such brilliant way of speaking that he could've made an amazing defense against his case but he didn't. Even if he didn't make a great statement for himself, his friend's had an escape plan for him and he still didn't go. He respected his government so much that he forcibly killed himself because his fellow citizens voted that ruling. One of the greatest minds took his own life because he loved his democratic government. I've learned so much about Socrates in my Human Geo class. We started small but expand a little more every day on our knowledge of Socrates and his legacy he left. His legacy speaks to us in many ways pushing us to search for what we want and to achieve it.  Socrates was a great example of Greek's word arete meaning excellence. He was the greatest mind you could ever find see how that rhythms?
