Notes

The Olympics were in 776 B.C. and the sports were discus, wrestling and boxing.

In war they had formations like the phallanx that was formed by Greek soldiers called Hoplites.

Greece's biggest rival was the Persians who they fought at Marathon, Gaugamela, Thermopoly and Issus.
They did not fight the Peloponnesian war against the Persians, they fought that against the Spartans when Pericles was in rule. Sparta won and the people first rose up against their ruler in 508 B.C.

 Homer was a blind poet who told of the Illyad and the Odyssey which were probably sung. There were 3 types of columns, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.

The Parthenon was built during the Golden Age of Athens when Pericles was in rule it had Doric columns and a statue of Athena.

 When Pericles took over he wanted 3 things for Athens which was to make Athens the greatest city, strengthen Greek Democracy, and expand the empire. They discussed their ideas in the agora.

 They made pottery which was used for wine, storage and perfume.

 Euclid was the pioneer of Geometry. Archimedes invented the pully system and made the law of displacement. Three Great Philosophers were Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.

  1. There is more information about this rubric at Greek Project Rubric (found under the Links to History on my blog).

    1) 20/25
    2) 22/25
    3) 20/25
    4) 23/25

    Total: 85/100

    In a nutshell: too many words per slide, and too few slides. I think you can do much better than this.

    (Your classmates gave you a 89.)
