Plato, Alexander, and Rome

So, I fooled many of you yesterday in class.  If you lost your notes and/or didn't take any.  They are below.  remember that your essay is due Monday - but I'll take it Tuesday.   You must have a hard copy to me by then.  The turnitin version will be done in two weeks as well.  In class today, we watched a 25-minute video about Alexander the Great.  Remember that "the Great" is granted to him by Europeans.  I hope you actually learned something.  There will be NO TEST TOMORROW!  Instead, you'll complete another map on Alexander's conquests and I'll go over some topics of the Greece Exam, which will be next Tuesday or Wednesday.  We're moving on to Rome on Monday.
