We are finally ready to move on to ancient Greece!
Both honors and general classes have begun to explore the physical geography of Greece. Students have been working on completing a physical map of the region. Those maps will be due on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 by the end of the school day. All students have had at least forty minutes of class to work on that map and should have needed only minimal time outside of school to complete it.
General Classes: Students will continue to study the geography of Greece for the first two days of the upcoming week. From there, they will begin to take a look at the earliest civilizations of the land. Both the Minoans and the Mycenaean contributed to early Greek culture.
Honors Classes: Students will continue their group presentations regarding Egypt today. By Wednesday we should begin to discuss the early Greek civilizations. Students will also be given their next set of debate topics. Grades for the presentations should be available (online) next weekend.
Mummification Lab - Students in my general sections have completed the first four portions of the mummification lab. In approximately two weeks, we will take a look at the results and complete the reports.
Debate Topics (Honors):
1. Democracy is the most effective system of government.
2. Athens was superior to Sparta.
3. Socrates was more influential than Aristotle.
4. The Ukraine should defy Russia and make agreements with the EU (European Union).
5. All politicians become corrupted by power.
*The next round of debates will be scheduled for 3/28 (Updated)
Upcoming Literature Assignments (Honors):
1. The Death of Hektor - 3/14
2. The Wooden Horse - 3/21 (Updated)
3. The Sirens - 4/7
4. Atalanta - 4/14
