Test thursday

Today in class I forgot what we did. Oh wait I remember!!!!! We went over our notes and I emphasized notes that could be on the test. I need to do good on the test because if I don’t then I will have a B or worse. I can’t have a B in any classes so I will study and use Dans quizlet. We also talked about drunk driving and the penalties that go along with it. Lots of kids in the class contributed to the discussion and had lots of different ideas. We didn’t really do anything else so I am going to type some notes. polis: fundamental political unit, made up of a city and the surrounding countryside (politics) monarchy: rule by a single person (a king, in Greece) aristocracy: rule by a small group of noble, very rich, landowning families oligarchy: wealthy groups, dissatisfied with aristocratic rule, who seized power (often with military help) tyrant: powerful individual who seized control by appealing to the common people for support .the 7th and 6th centuries BCE, aristocrats ran the show in most of Greece.
