Ancient Greece     

• Athenian plays were about either tragedy or comedy 
• Oedipus Rex was the favorite play 
• killed his father
• married his mother 
• had a daughter with his mother
• gouged his eyes out with daggers 
• became king
• theater back then is set up like theater now 
• pots were made to be filled with things they could sell like olive oil 
• Greeks were very competitive with everything they do
• Greeks don't think like we think now 
• Sparta only cared about being best at fighting
• Athens cares about being the best at everything they do 

Projects 

Today in class we watched the Athens and Sparta projects. No one did Sparta. I think that's because Sparta was a war place and no one wants to visit a place where millions died. I couldn't even image living in Sparta in that time point. 

Greek Video 3

Today in class Mr. Schick wasn't there. We went up to Mr. Perry's room and watched the Greek video with earphones. I thought this worked better then when we all watched it together because I could here and see everything clearly. Watching videos isn't a good way for me to learn and remember things but I think I have gotten a lot out from this video. I learned a lot about the government of Athens and how it was created. 

Athens Video

Today in class we worked on our video project with our partners. Jasmine and I picked Athens. We are making a video instead of a story board. We couldn't get signal for our project so not much work got done but we will work on it this weekend.  

Greek Video 2

Today in class we watched the video again. We didn't have a long class today because it was Ash Wednesday so we had a weird scheduled. I didn't get much from the video today because most of it was a recap. In the beginning of class we made jokes about the senior retreat.  

Greek Video 

Today in class we watch the beginning of a video on ancient Greece. The video had to do with leaders of Greece. I was hoping we didn't work on the project because Jasmine wasn't in class today.  

Cyber Day 

We didn't have school today. I personally don't like cyber days. We get 10 times more work then we have to do when we have school.
