End of the Unit

Today in Western Civilizations with Mr. Schick we wrapped up our Unit on Greece and looked towards the future. I Got a one hundred on my Greece test and i was the only one in the class who got it all right. After that Mr. Schick did a rap for us and it was hilarious and very well constructed. After that he told us how he wasn't going to be there for two weeks and that we would have a sub.

Greece

Today in Western Civ with Mr. Schick we continued reading about Greece. We read about the Hellenistic culture and how that effected the Alexandria and there civilization. We learned about there science and there astronomy and the language, the city, the library and the museum. Before we were done reading Mr. Schick told us we were dismissed early and so i went to the cafeteria and hung out with Jeoy, Mckenna, and Vince.

GrEeCe

Today in Western Civilization with Mr. Schick we continued to go over Greece covering Alexander  the Greats life. We did a worksheet and I was told to put it in my blog so here we go. Aristocrats didn't choose leaders, Pericles wanted to increase peoples payroll, Greek art didn't show emotion, in the Peloponnesian War one third of Athens died due to disease, the war was won by Sparta, more on Socrates that i already knew and learned, and Plato wrote the republic. everything else was based on either Alexander, Phillip II, Darius III, or Demosthenes. All of this was easy to learn and memorize.

Going over it

1)
A)Direct Democracy- a term used for the type of government Athens had which let the people have more say, let people vote without representatives.
B) Classical Art- In Athens they had sculptures and many buildings were made to look especially pretty, of that time it was the classical art; harmony, order, balance
C) Tragedy- Athens put on plays and one of the most popular in Athens where tragedies, which was a drama, usually resulting in the death of a hero, due to a fatal flaw; Hubris=excessive pride;Sophocles had tradegy called Oedipus Rex;
D)Comedy- Another popular type of play in Athens, usually made fun of important people or other such things;Aristophenes play called lysistrata
E) Peloponnesion War- A war fought between Athens and Sparta in 431 BC through 404 BC, ultimately leading of Athens defeat.
F) Philosopher- Athens had many famous philosophers in his time, they had people who loved the search for wisdom.
G) Socrates- Was a famous philosopher in Athens, shaped the philosophers of other generations.
H) Plato- One of Socrates' students and tough a young Alexander the Great
I) Aristotle- Another important philosopher who focused on how things worked.

3) To strengthen democracy in Athens Pericles had people run in government, had the people run and get paid for it. Also implemented direct democracy.

4) In the Peloponnesion war Athens wanted to keep the war a sea, while Sparta wanted and fought on land with military's marching to Athens.

5) Because it was completely different from anything that they had ever been taught or had known, it was a complete different style of thinking.

Last presentation

Today in Western Civilization with Mr. Schick we had the best and last presentation. Elpris, Athan, and Dylan did there rap and it was great. I got videos an sent them to people in the class, it was a good class. We had a shadow so he probably thinks this class is crazy and a big joke. I hope we get to do this more often, anyway it was a good class and i had a great time. fun, funny, and good class.

Another Day Of Presentations

Today in Western Civilization with Mr.Schick we continued to sit and grade people based off of there Greece presentation. The one today that i thought was the best was Sydney ad Brysons. They made a dish similar to what people in Greece would have had and they gave us some. It was okay, but i thought it was one of the best ones.
