today in class we learned important words and events that happened. that are important to the Greeks. one of those words is agora which is a public open space used for assemblies markets, and center of spiritual and political practices. another word is polis which is a city in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes and run by citizens. I learned that in 508 BC Kilisthenis came to power, he placed the foundation of Athens democracy. I also learned about Socrates. I learned that he was a great philosopher and Greek philosophy was developed by him. Socrates later went on trial for corrupting Athens youth and was found guilty and sentenced to death. Socrates also has a method called the Socratic method which was the arriving of truth by continually questioning ,obtaining answers, and criticizing the answers. lastly in 508 BC it was the first time in recorded history that people revolted against their rulers. this lead to many other revolts. I learned many new things in class today.
today in class you weren't here so we had a sub. in class I went to your blog and saw that we wont have a test before exams which is a relief because I wont have to study for the test and then study for everything else that is on the exam. in class I looked at my notes in my note book that I have taken this tear and made it into a quizlet. I feel pretty good about the human geo exam because I understand everything that we have gone over so far in this class. this class was pretty helpful because it helped me get organized and prepared to study for my mid term exam for this class.
