Today in class we moved on to lesson two on our unit on ancient Greece. This lesson is about the Greek city-states. This lesson had a lot of definitions. A Polis is a city state, it is the fundamental unit of politics. An Acropolis is a place where Greeks come to discuss politics. The Greek Polis' came in four forms monarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy, democracy. A monarchy is a form where it is ruled by one king. An aristocracy is a form where a few wealthy land owner's ruled. A oligarchy is where a few people rule who overthrew the government using the military. A democracy is where the people vote on the laws.
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
