Reading in class again and looking at our amazing slideshow which is much better than the other sections.

     Today we reread some of the stuff from the history book. We then looked over our slideshow we colloborated to make. People did slides on Cyrus the Great, Darius the Great, The Persian Empire, Marathon, Herodotus, Sparta, Barbarians and Ionia. We learned more about the battle of Marathon and the achievements of Cyrus and Darius. We also learned more about Barbarians like how the Greeks thought anyone living outside of Greece was a uncultured, uncivilized person or a barbarian. I also learned that Darius the great tried and failed many times to conquer Greece. We will watch a movie on Greece in class tomorrow since Mr. Schick will be gone and well take notes on it.
