Ancient Greece

Today we looked at a PowerPoint on Ancient Greece.  Here are the notes I wrote:

  • Great Civilizations/Key River
    • Mesopotamia/Tigris and Euphrates Rivers
    • Egypt/Nile River
    • India/Indus River
    • China/Huang He River
  • 1400 islands off coast of Greece
  • peninsula
  • Mediterranean - "middle of the earth"**
  • mountainous
  • Adriatic Sea - west sea; Aegan Sea - east sea
  • Crete
  • Athens and Sparta
  • into city-states; no Greek flag to unite
  • Athens on water; Sparta in land
Since this is a short blog, I wanted to talk about what else happened in class besides the PowerPoint. Before class and before Mr. Schick walked in, I cut a little piece of my hair off that was longer than the rest.  I asked Mrs. Zurkowski if I could use her scissors to do so, and she surprisingly said yes.  I also found out that Mr. Schick LOVES Greece.  He said a lot about Greece that I didn't know whether to write down or not, so I didn't.  We'll probably get there (hopefully).  I also found out that we weren't focusing a lot on Greek mythology.  I find Greek mythology interesting, so it's upsetting we're not doing it.  My whole day was really great today!
