Today Mr. Schick did a wrap and then we went over notes. Here are some of the notes I added but did not have:

• Liked doing things the way ancient Greeks did.
• Mediterranean means middle of the Earth. 
• believed that was the world, and did not know anything else was in the world, no other land masses. 
• Gods had chosen them to have a perfect land area.
• 3 people who settled Italian peninsula- Etruscan, Greeks, Latins.
• Our language descends from the Greeks who went off the Latin.
• Improved the government and welfare of the Greek society.
• Government started out as a monarchy, but wanted a democracy. 
• The monarchy had kings.
• The senate comes from sen ex which means old men, who also ran things. 
• If kind died, senate would meet and decide who was going to be the king next.
• Might not have been someone related to the king.
• Res publica- means the peoples business. 
• The patrician's were sort of like the founding fathers. 
•
