Today in Western Civ Holly taught the class, and Mr. Schick sat down in the class. Everyone called him Bob and Angela yelled at him for having his phone out and the other side of the room said they liked Holly teaching better and didn't have to keep hearing "shut up shut up" and "on the opinion question you were WRONG" and "you guys are writing too slowwww". Then Mr. Schick said he was tired of being bullied and nobody had aloe so that was sad.
We also did page 145 numbers 2-5:
2. I think the Persian invasion was the most significant conquest of Alexander the Great because it was what his father had planned and if he defeated Persia, the biggest empire, he would then be the most powerful. It was a bunch of battles that were all significant that he won.
3. Philip II was able to conquer Greece because he was a brilliant general who organized a very large army (and used phalanx's, each armed with long weapons, and his huge cavalry). He also had an advantage of the city-states not listening to Demosthenes about his plans to invade and attack.
4. Alexander continued his campaign of conquest because he wanted more power and wanted to gain a larger empire. He had a god-like complex, and the power got to his head and he wanted to pretty much conquer the entire world.
Then Bob went on a huge rant about this question and everyone asked him to repeat himself and he said "maybe you should write fASTER then" and everyone was like "oohhh" and then he said "but thats my opinon so it's probably wrong."
5. Alexander's empire after his death was taken over by three Macedonian kings: Antigonus, Ptolemy, and Seleucus. They ignored everything Alexander had worked for and changed everything and governed with complete full power over the people.
Today was fun.
