Middle Ages

For 4.1 i know close to nothing. so i would be at a 0.5 kinda deal here.

For 4.2 I know again, close to nothing, so, i have a pretty good chance of a -1.

For 4.3 I  know again, shocker, nothing!! Again a negative 4 for me.

I've never learned anything about any of these topics and i know nothing about them.

My learning goal is, to hopefully know much about these learning topics and be able to make a successful video.

Roman Government

Roman Government from lizzibeee

What is a republic, and when, how, and why did Rome turn into one?

A republic is a way of government, where the people get to decide who rules their country, or state or whatever. In about 509 BC, the Kings son, Sextus, raped a married woman. Soon after she commited suicide, and her husband, Collatinus, and his friends, Brutus and Valerius, were enraged. They sought out to avenge her death. The three men carried Lucretia's body down to the forum, the town hall type place, so the whole town could see what happened. The town was furious and the three men went after the King Superbus (the proud), and his son, Sextus. The men found the king and his son, and the king fled. The son, was killed by Collatinus and Brutus, and shortly after Collatinus and Brutus were elected, by the city, to become the "presidents".

The First Romans

Rome was founded, when the legend of Romulus and Remus, two young twins who were of royal blood but were left in a river to drown, were found by a she-wolf, who took care of them and fed them until a farmer came along and rescued them. King Numitor, who was king at the time of 753 BC, had a daughter who had these twins boys. No one wanted these twin boys because they were the twins born of The God Of War. King Numitor started to suspect that these boys were of royal blood and started doing his research. It came out true and the boys became warriors. Some of the best. Eventually one of the twins was supposed to take over the Kingdom of Alba Longa, but they were twins, so, who would take the crown? Eventually the boys got into an argument over who was the luckiest and Romulus ended up killing Remus. Then  happened the founding of the Roman Empire, with King Romulus.

Level 4 Question :"Explain two connections between Ancient Greece and the world today. Describe both ideas as they were in Ancient Greece and the world today, noting similarities and differences."

"Explain two connections between Ancient Greece and the world today. Describe both ideas as they were in Ancient Greece and the world today, noting similarities and differences."


One connection between the world today and Ancient Greece, is how the Olympic were done. The all around Olympics were different. For example, they did their olympics naked, and married women weren't allowed to watch. Now, anyone can watch, there are twice as many events and we have uniforms depending or country. Another difference is how we run our government. Ancient Greece used to use Gods/Goddess' and currently America has a president and we are very much more developed. 

PRIMARY SOURCE ANALYSIS: HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR

The author who created the source was Thycidides, he was a historian, he was wealthy, he was also an Athenian General. The Source was written in 431-404 B.C. and it was written in or around Athens. It helps knowing a different point of view, so we can differentiate between the different stories. Thycidides was writing mainly to us. The people. The reason he wrote it for us, was he wanted the knowledge to be passed on. The main idea of this passage is the effects of this plague that broke out, during the Peloponnesian War. (The Athenians decided to barricade themselves, to help try and keep them safe. It didn't really work, though, because it broke out in the plague, it was just bad.)  It reaches disturbing detail. The Source is important to let people know what happened because we weren't there. So, he was helping us and future generations.

"Now let every man, physician or other, concerning the ground of this sickness, whence it sprung, and what causes he thinks able to produce so great an alteration, speak according to his own knowledge" (Thycidides 48).

Greco-Persian Wars

In 499 BC, an insane, yet important war began between Greek City States and the Persian Empire, ruled by Darius. Ionian Greek city states revolted against Persian Rule, and Athens supported them.

This caused King Darius to invade Greece after putting down the earlier Ionian revolt. First, the Greeks defeated the Persians during the Marathon War; The Greek force then, led by the Spartans, falls to the Persian army in Thermopylae against the onslaught brought by King Xerxes.

They battled a much larger Persian army bravely but ultimately were wiped out. The Persians then attack Athens by burning and sacking it. The Athenian Navy then want revenge, understandable, so they went on to defeat the Persians in Salamis.

Then in Plataea, the Greeks defeated the Persians, ending the wars, finally.

Here is my paragraph about Ancient Egypt.


ANCIENT EGYPT the home of pyramids, mummies and other things! Ancient Egypt is full of interesting things. Like, The Great Pyramid and the many pharaohs, for example, King Tut he is a pharaoh. Ancient Egypt is when the Great Pyramid of Giza was built along with the Great Sphinx. What a time to be alive. There was the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and then the New Kingdom and that was basically just how the kingdoms worked. They all came in a order by date.
