Review for test/quiz

Today Mr. Schick announced in class that he would be giving a half-test, half-quiz tomorrow. Normally, a quiz is worth 50 points and a test is worth 100 points in his class. So he decided to make it a "quest" or a "tiz" worth 75 points. The test/quiz would be on material covered in Lo1 and Lo2 on the Roman Empire. Mr. Schick reviewed some of the information with us in class to help us study a bit. He talked about the Roman form of government, and how it is used today in the United States. He also discussed some of the battles that the Romans had, like the Punic Wars with Carthage. Mr. Schick also told us a bit abut some other interesting stuff that wouldn't be on the test/quiz, but was still interesting about Rome. He talked about how the Romans always used Gladiator fights as a form of entertainment to the public. Another major reason they used the fights to entertain the public was so that they would stay happy, and wouldn't plan to revolt against the government. Their plan was to supply the public with a bit of food and entertainment, to distract the people from the bigger picture. Anyway, I hope I well in the test.
