February 13

Today in class we got our essays back our group got an 94%. We then went over the essay with our group and got feedback. Then we discussed what day our test was gonna be on. So we are having a test on Friday February 16. Today in class we had time to study for the test. We were aloud to look at his powerpoint and read pages out of the book.  I read over his powerpoint and started making a quizlet with the notes I took in class. I then read the pages out of textbook some more and took my time to read though and figure out what was going on so I would understand it better when I was thinking about it later. Then I organized my notes in my notebook better so I would know where they where are when I was going to study at home. Then class was over and we left.

Today in Western Civ we read about Alexander's Empire in the textbook on page 142-145. I learned that Macedonia is located north of Greece and had a rough terrain and a cold climate. I learned that under Aristotle's teachings Alexander learned about science, geography, and literature. To inspire himself he kept the Iliad under his pillow. Once he became king he put his military training into use. When the people of Thesbes rebelled Alexander destroyed the city and 6,000 Thesbes were killed. In 334 BC he lead 35,000 soldiers across Hellespont into Anatolia. Victory gave Alexander control over Anatolia. Alexander's army occupied Babylon, Susa, and Persepolis Alexander then disappeared and no one knew where he was then the city caught on fire and the fire is still unknown today. Alexander was more interested in expanding his empire then controlling it. A little later after this Alexander died at age 32. Then the chapter was over and so was class.

We talked about what we were going to do as a group other than the powerpoint and finished up the powerpoint. This is one of our slides that we did today. All athletes competed without any attire. Wrestlers and pankration (a sort of mixed martial art which combined boxing and wrestling) competitors fought covered in oil Corporal punishment awaited those guilty of a false start on the track There were only two rules in the pankration  no biting and no gouging Boxers were urged to avoid attacking the on display male genitals There were no points, no time limits and no weight classifications in the boxing Athletes in the combat sports had to indicate their surrender by raising their index fingers – at times they died before they could do this Boxers who could not be separated could opt for klimax, a system whereby one fighter was gr...
