Ancient Greek more notes

Today in Honor's Western Civ we continued in reading pages 118-126 and taking notes on the text and also the power point which we continued today. Here are some of the notes I took on the text about Ancient Greece:
-The sea shaped Greek civilization
-Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Black Sea were transportation routes for the Greek
-Mountains covered about 3/4 of Greece
-Greeks developed small independent communities within each valley of mountain
-temperatures averaging from 48 degrees to 80
-climate supported an outdoor climate
-Indo-Europeans that migrated to Europe were known as Mycenaens
-In 1500 BC the Mycenaens came into contact with the Minoans
-Mycenaens fought a 10 year war against Troy known as the Trojan War
-Trojan War stories were thought to be completely fictional
-excavations proved they were partly true
-Dorians burned down Mycenaen villages after the culture collapsed
-Dorians spoke a dialect of Greek
-Dorians were not advanced so they collapsed
-Due to the lacking of writing in the Dorian Age stories were told orally
-Homer was a storyteller who told epics
Here are the notes that I took with the Power Point
-Greece is a mountainous peninsula
-Approx. 2000 islands in the Ionian Sea and Aegean Sea
-They had many skilled sailors, shipbuilders, farmers, metal workers, weavers, and potters
-had poor natural resources so they traded
-It was hard to unite greeks because of their mountains

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
