Its Monday:(

If you can’t tell from my title slide, then you realize that its sadly Monday which is the beginning of the week which is probably the worst thing ever. Today in class we took some notes from the power point and then we were allowed to either finish our textbook read or do our blog which is awesome because then I won’t have to do it for homework tonight. Overall today was a pretty good day beside not having that extra hour of sleep but that’s fine. Here are some of the notes that we took today:

• Polis: fundamental political unit, made up of a city and the surrounding country side
• Monarchy: rule by single person (king, in Greece)
• aristocracy: rule by a small group of noble. very rich, landowning families
• Oligarchy: wealthy groups, dissatisfied with aristocratic rule, who seized power (military help)
• Tyrant: powerful individual who seized control by appealing to the common people for support
