Quiz Today!
We started class with our Greek city states flag and cheer competitions! Good job to everyone who participated.
We turned in our notes on the textbook reading in Chapter 5, Section 2.
We took notes on the difference between Athens and Sparta (their government and daily life). Click here for the Athens and Sparta Notes and click here for the Athens and Sparta PPT. You will need to come in at lunch or after school to see the movie clip that is referred to in the PPT (the movie clip is only 6 minutes long but it's good and you need to see it!)
