In todays class we did some more presentations. Ryan and I presented ours today. My personal favorite presentation was Emmanuels. I thought it was very funny and interactive while he presented it.
In todays class Mr. Schick was not here and we had a sub. She told us to check our blog for our assignment. It said that this is basically a free period for us to get started with studying for the Human Geography exam. I took this time to look over some of the assignments we did from the beginning of the year.
Todays class was our first time meeting since before break. We talked about Political Geography and how the world is organized. We talked about the categories a Country, Nation and State. Then we got into more detail with culture and religion and what each nation/state does.
In class today we learned some new terms. We learned what an Agora and a Polis is. An agora is a public area for assemblies and markets. Polis is a city state in ancient Greece especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes. we learned that the year 508 BC was important to the greeks because thats the year they established democracy. We learned who Socrates was and what he did and that he was sentenced to death by drinking poison. The last thing we learned about was the Socratic Method this is a cooperative argumentative form of communication.
