Notes

Christianity-  even though your body dies your soul lives on, either in heaven or hell. Split into a lot of religions. Jesus started as a Jew, so did Mary, so did Joseph. Jesus rose from the dead and that’s what makes him god and not human. There are 2.1 billion. 3 elements to god , god the father, god the son, god the holy spirit. One of the most important concepts in Christianity is that Jesus died for us and on the third day he rose from the dead.

Human Geography Facts

In Human Geography we watch a video called Did You Know 3.0. It was really educational and fun too watch. Two facts stood out to me the most. One was that the am out of text messages sent and replied everyday exceeds the number of the poouluation of the planet. I think that is so cool! I send those text messages. That is why it stood out to me. The other one that stood out to me is that there are 540,000 words in the english language, thats five times as many as during Shakespere's time. I think that over time we come up with so many words! This stood out to me because that just means during time the English language will expand so much more.

Six word sentence

This is a lot of fun!
