In this class we do many things that have to do with history. Some things we are currently doing is reading the book Shabanu. So far I am really enjoying the book. |

The Spread of Islam In my history class, last week, we been learned about the spread of Islam. The reason s I think Islam spread so quickly was because of military conquest and trade.
I think military conquest helped Islam spread because as lands were being conquered, people liked the Islamic beliefs. I also think that trade helped Islam spread because merchants interacted with each other where they traded. I think merchants went to their home lands and spread Islamic beliefs. ShabanuShabanu, Daughter of the Wind, by Suzanne Fisher Staples is the book my CORE class i currently reading. This book is about a girl named Shabanu who has to try to adapt to her life in the Pakistan desert. She goes through many hardships throughout her life in the story. I think the author does a really good job of describing things in the story. So far I am really enjoying this book we are reading in my CORE class.

A project I had to do for my history class was an andalusian poem. The poem had to be at least ten lines long. It also had to include a simile and a personification. For this document, like almost all my papers, I used Google Docs. For this poem we had to use at least one simile and personification We did this poem because at that time we were currently reading Shabanu.
