Today in class we finished up the powerpoint with philosophers of Greece. The three main philosophers we focused on were Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Socrates is one of the most famous Greek philosophers and one of the first. He challenged the people of Athens to think critically. he started to question the credibility of the Greek Gods which is against Athenian law and he was sentenced to death despite being well respected. Plato was one of Socrates' (I also put the apostrophe at the end) pupils. After his death he became very popular with his two most famous books Republic and Apology. Aristotle was one of Plato's students and he would go on to teach Alexander the Great and create a school. He wanted to unify Athens as a intellectual destination.
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
