Guns, Germs, and Steel Video Notes Pt. 3 & Bread

First, Mr. Schick as telling us about the ingredients in some grain bread and how those grains connect to the

grain in the Guns, Germs, and Steel video. Then, he passed out some of the bread, toasted, to let us try some of

the grains people used a very long time ago. There was only one piece of bread left in the basket and Ben and I both wanted. He was super nice and let me have the last piece! After we had some yummy bread, we continued watching the Guns, Germs, and Steel video again. These are the notes we took today:
