Today in class we took notes on Alexander the great. Since my project already required research on Alexander the great so I knew a little about this topic. First his father Philip 2 had conquered all of Greece. he was planning on invading Persia but was murdered before he could. Then Alexander came into power. Alexander was a great Tactician and was taught by the philosopher Aristotle. He vowed to lead out his father's promises. He lead his army into Persia successfully winning the first battle. The went and liberated Egypt where they crowned him pharaoh. His military used a mix of the phalanx and cavalry units. He went on to conquer large parts of Asia until he got to India. They had been fighting for 11 years and Alexander decided to turn around. The he became severely ill and died at the age of thirty-two.
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
