Review Day number 2

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we continued reviewing for the test that we will be taking when we come back from break. We talked about Alexander's  museum and how much of an impact he was on the culture and science of Alexandria. After reviewing we watched a movie scene of Alexander's battle at Guagamelala. Alexander used amazing military tactics to defeat Persia's King Darius. I learned that none of Alexander's generals supported his tactics because they all believed that even with all of the luck and gods in their favor they still would not be able to win the battle since they were outnumbered 250,000 to 40,000. However, Alexander trusted his gut and continued his battle strategy. His strategy proved to be successful and allowed Alexander to win the battle. After the video the bell rang and dismissed class. I brought the textbook home as well to study over break and get a 100% on the upcoming test.

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.
