Presentation day 3

Today in class we finished presenting all the presentations. Dylan talked about democracy. It was a really good presentation, I could tell he is prepared and he did enough research on the information. I learn that the US is only the 21st democratic country, which is surprising. Then the last group talked about the trireme. I liked it and the trireme they built was really cool, it is really detailed and they must spent a lot of time on it. And then we read the chapter about the spread of the Hellenistic culture. It says how the hellenic culture spread and combined with other cultures and form new cultures. And the influences of Hellenic culture on different concepts.

Note on Alexander the Great

Today in class we took note on four pages from the book abo ut  Alexander the great and what he did for the Macedonian empire.  His dad Phillip the second was the previous king of Macedonia. But he was killed at his sister's wedding. Then Alexander became the king. He was young but experienced and strict. He continued his dad's dream of taking over Persia.He took over Persia and many other city-states around it. But then Alexander then disappeared and no one knew where he was then the city caught on fire and the fire is still unknown today.  (My house was out of power yesterday due to the strong wind so I wasn't able to send it yesterday. Can you please don't take points off?)
