At our last meeting, we learned all about the crazy, exciting, sometimes gruesome, sometimes sordid life of Alexander the Great. His life is full of mystery, ambition, arrogance, luck, skill, and the impossible. He never lost a battle. He best friend was a horse. And he thought himself a demi-god son of Zeus. It makes for a cool story. So here are lots of links if your students are interested in learning more about Alexander and the incredible empire he forged out of sheer willpower.
This week we will fast forward our history - We've got a lot to cover in two weeks if we're going to make it to the Fall of Rome!
Gwyn has the health lesson this coming week.
