Before class started today my laptop had a loose screw that I was able to fix using Mr.Schick's screwdriver, thank you very much. For the rest of class we took notes on how Greece developed a direct democracy. After Cleisthenes was put into power he changed the government to where all citizens could debate and vote on issues. Only about 1/5 of the population were citizens because it only classified free adult male landowners. The citizens went to the agora which is a meeting place to discuss government to give arguments on how Athens should be run. After the citizens spoke there would be a vote where citizens would use black and white stones to vote. Athens started to use this form of government around 500 BCE.
Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing
