HONORS: Do Now and homework reminder, Wednesday 10-13

Notes on the reading packet "Mind and Spirit" were due today, as was the Ancient Greece scavenger hunt.

You have until Friday to turn in the midterm test corrections. Students who earned less than a B on the midterm test need to give serious thought to doing these. In the Honors class, tests and quizzes make up 50% of your final grade.

No new assignments except the extra credit assignment on Greek and Roman mythology were given out today.

Do Now, 10-13:

If you have heard of any of the following concepts, please explain them:

-What is an “empire”? What is an “emperor”?
-Latin
-Julius Caesar
-Gladiators and the Colosseum
-Cupid
-the Senate
-Representative government
-Roman persecution of the early Christians
-aqueducts
-Hannibal (general from Carthage who fought against Rome)
