Alexander is Great!

The conquests of Alexander the Great spread Greek culture throughout the Middle East. We are going to have a trial in this class. Alexander will be put on trial for various crimes. I am offering (up to)5 points each for potential charges to be brought against Alexander. I am also offering one point each for names of potential witnesses in our trial. The maximum on this project is 25 points.
Happy researching!

AP takes on Shakespeare!!!

Sunday the 23rd of August you are all invited to attend a showing of Julius Casar at UC Santa Cruz. The cost is only $13 ($35 for adults). The benefits are getting to know the plot of Julius Caesar and the style of William Shakespeare both of which are integral to our class. I'm throwing some extra credit out there just to make it interesting.
15 points for going on the outing. 5 points for leaving a message on this blog before Sunday the 23rd. 5 points for summarizing the experience after the show. That's a total of 25 extra credit points! If you are interested see Mr. Parker as soon as possible.
