September 3

For a couple minutes in the beginning of class today, we all figured out how to log on to PowerSchool to access our grades. For the rest of the class, we went over our previous blog on Greek terms. We covered and discussed what most of them mean, and we talked about how Greeks and Athenians voted on specific things. A civilian would step up on agora and voice their opinion on a certain topic. After all the people who wanted to speak spoke, they would vote. They didn't do this electronically. They did it simply by raising their hands, saying “I”, or putting a black or white pebble in a basket if they could not see the majority of raising hand or voicing “I.” I also learned that the Greek and Athenians were the first people in human history who over threw the government. They made the government a democracy.
