In class today we watched more of the movie. We took lots of notes. We learned about Socrates and how he said "an unexamined life is not worth living". He influenced people to expand their thinking and make their own decisions. He also taught people how to make choices and be themselves. Because he did this he was put on trial and found guilty. He was sentenced to death by hemlock. Hemlock is a drink and it is slow and you suffer through agonizing pain.

Today's Class 3/11/13

Today in class we went over the last test we took. We went around the class and each person answered a question. I though it was kinda funny how Mr. Schick was getting so upset about how people were getting the easiest questions wrong. On the test the short answer questions and the essay questions are easy but the multiple choice problems were hard. Even though the test was open book it was still hard.

Then I passed out brownies while we went over what we learned last class. Then we watched some more of the movie and we learned about Hippias. Hippias was Chlisthenese son.

Today in class some people still had to take the test from Monday. So while they took the test the rest of us started to read the next chapter. Chapter 4 is about Greek Gods and Goddesses. We were supposed to read about them and write at least two sentences about each person.
