Today we did not meet because we did not have school due to the poor weather. But we did have a Cyber Assignment and it was to take notes and answer the questions on the first seven slides of the "Ancient Greece is the Word" power point. Just from those seven slides I learned so much, the things are learned are listened below.
  • The worlds greatest civilizations are located on rivers
  • Mesopotamia started on the Tigris and Euphrates River
  • Egypt started on the Nile river
  • India started on the Indus River
  • China started on the Huang He River
Questions:
1. The significance of Greece's location is that it 's surround by water therefore it makes there living a lot easier because they have food in the water, they need water for cooking, clothing, bathing, and more.
2. Greece has a lot of open land but also has many mountains which could be a good and bad things. Greece has a lot of islands which means a lot of water.
3. One way this all would affect their culture because they have a lot of water which means you could cook a lot more different foods than if you did not have water and food plays a major role in cultures.
4. The Ionian Sea, Aegean Sea, Thracian Sea, Sea of Crete, and The Gulf of Corinth all surround Greece.
5. The largest island to the south in Greece is Crete.
