Rome by Chi Cago

I started listening to Rome and I honestly thought it was very funny. I feel like I have heard this song before, maybe they played it for us in middle school. This song is a very clever way to learn, because you can listen to the song and sing along and then remember the facts from it. But, overall, I though it was a funny song and it made me laugh.

Maps: Lines of Longitude

Today in class we took a quiz. I think I did ok, but definitely got a few things wrong. After the quiz we continued talking about maps. We learned about the lines of longitude. Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitude is measured by imaginary lines circling the Earth and running through the poles. Longitude lines are farthest apart at the Equator and meet at the poles. We also learned that the Prime meridian passes through Greenwich, England, and is given 0 degrees longitude. Lastly we learned that a time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. There are 24 time zones, one for each hour of the day. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries of countries but in the case of the U.S. they follow boundaries of states. Overall today's lesson was very interesting and I learned a lot of new information.
