Another Day of Notes

Today we listened to Mr. Schick inform us more about the Barbarians and the Greeks. Mr. Schick purposely tried to make the presentation as boring as he possibly could, so for a portion of the class he lectured about the notes in a very tedious and monotone voice. Mr. Schick continued on the history, the economy, and the culture of the many barbaric civilization that had been in existence before Ancient Greece had. We reviewed the Aegean Encounter and the Dark Ages in a little more depth, and Mr. Schick talked about the story "The Odyssey" that was made during that time. The story was about a man who had went into the Trojan War, leaving his family and his wife behind. After the war, the man tries to make his way back home, but the Sea God Poseidon kept keeping him off course. It was interesting to hear what the story was like. Mr. Schick invited one our classmates to share the rest of the presentation. He did a good job explaining the presentation. Tomorrow we will continue learning about the Greek City-States and the development of Greece.
