Power point

Today in class we got assigned groups to work with to do a power point with that deals with the life of Alexander the Great. My group got assigned his early years of his life and my category I am focusing on is how he got tutored for all of his school subjects by Aristotle. Such education came with having the King as your father. His first tutor was Leonidas who tried to teach him things like math, horsemanship, and archery. However, Alexander was not a good student and Leonidas had a tough time getting him to learn. This is when Alexanders dad, King Phillip learned that he must hire a new tutor, and the new tutor was Aristotle. However between the teaching of both of his tutors he decided to rise and go into the Military and fight in a battle. Aristotle taught him for three years and taught him things like poetry, philosophy, drama, science, and even the latest political things. Alexander went on to be one of the most heroic men from a long time ago.
