It is almost spring break, and I am so excited. I am really looking forward to just relaxing all day. Many people go to the beach for spring break, but me, I just going to be lazy all day. I have had to many things to do during the 3rd quarter. Once I had five tests in one day! That's a lot. I also had to do three projects to do, and one of the projects I didn't even know what to do.
   Its going to be great not having to do homework or doing projects and tests. It will also be boring because I never have fun during any break. I guess it won't be a total lose. I will get to play video games and stay up and sleep late.

    In core, we learned that there was a time of renewal after the Middle Ages which was called the Renaissance. In the Renaissance, there were many new things. There were painter, sculptors, writers, and many more things. There were two individuals who stood out during the Renaissance. There names are Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. The question is which one of these famous people would have I liked to have met?

    I would have liked to have met Leonardo Da Vinci because he had many more interests than Michelangelo. Leonardo painted many paintings including the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. The Mona Lisa painting is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Leonardo was also and inventor. He had many notebooks filled with design of inventions including a design of a helicopter which would couldn't have been invented at the time. Leonardo also had notebooks with drawings of the human body.

In the Middle Ages, the Crusades were fought. The Crusades were about the Holy Land. They were fought against Christians and Muslims. The First Crusade was a total failure. The Christians lost to the Muslims. Then the Second Crusade was fought. The Christians also lost to the Muslims. All of the Crusades were a big failure for the Christians. With no help, they never won a Crusade.

The Crusades wouldn't have a positive effect on the Muslims. The Muslims hated the Christians back then and that anger still goes on today.
