Presentations

Well today in class we started having a couple groups go over their presentations. The first presentation was done by Carly, John, and Taylor, they did very well in my mind and if I was grading them I would have given them a high grade, but unfortunately and fortunately I am not the teacher Mr. Schick is. Some of the notes that I took included:

• Had a distict way of life based on farming
• Everytime you come into contact with someone you expand on your way of living life
• The land mass by Sparta is called Peloponnesian penninsula 
• Greeks adapted to sailing
•  1150-750 BC was known as dark ages, mycenaeans were destroyed, didn’t write things down, quite adapting cultures, population went down. Ships were not used, trade was done no more trade
• Minoan drew its wealth from controlling of the surrounding seas and from trade between many lands, especially Egypt

We learned on the mysterious point of the Dark Ages when the civilization stopped progressing and it was weird and they think that the "Sea People" took over and conquered these people who just destroyed the civilization almost and the progress they were making came to an abrupt stop.
