Yesterday in class we started presenting our slideshows. Caitlyn, Rosemary, and Trish presented first and their presentation was on Athens, Sparta and the Peloponnesian War. I didn't really get to take notes because they presented so quickly and didn't have time to write anything down. So, hopefully I will remember the most important parts. The second presentation was given by Evan, Steven, and Paj on Homer. I was able to get notes on Homer, so here they are:
-Born 800 B.C.E. Smyrna, Turkey
-Told stories of the Trojan War
-Brought Greece out of the Dark Age
-Godfather of culture of Greeks
-Many people think he didn't exist
-Some people think he is one person
-Some people think he is a group of people.
-Think he complied stories
-Illiad and the Odyssey were most famous poems
-Believed to have written entire epic cycle
-Died in 701 B.C.E.
That was all we got done in class and will resume presenting projects on Tuesday.
