Today in class we did our first mini research. We
researched some things that were put up on the board. For example there was
Agora, Polis, the importance of the year 508 BC for the ancient greeks, Socrates,
death of Socrates, the Socrates method, and others I didn’t get to. Agora is a
public open space used for assemblies and markets. Polis is a city in ancient Greece,
especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes. The
reason why the year on 508 BC is extremely important to the ancient greeks is
because that day democracy is introduced in Athens by Cleisthenes. He established
a constitution and is often called the “father of Athenian Democracy”. Also
people in this year revolted against their ruler. Socrates was a greek philosopher.
And we had to research the death of Socrates. He was convicted of corrupting the
youth of Athens and introducing strange gods and was sentenced to death by
drinking. And the last thing ive gotten to was the socratic method. It’s a form
of cooperative argumentative dialogue.

One reason why I hate it so much if because I read slow and sometimes I mess words up and I feel like a lot of people judge me! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! But for real I do hate it a lot. We did our project on Population Pyramids. We had to write questions and other things about world hunger and many people and organizations that do make a difference and do help people in a hunger situation. Listening to people they did very well! But then my group went and my other group members did very well. But then it came time for me to talk and I completely embarrassed myself. I felt like I couldn’t talk and of course I didn’t really know what to say when it came time for me to explain MY thoughts. I said how the organization taught people to farm and that’s good. REALLY GRACYN!! I should’ve said how instead of just giv...
