Mariam: who's coming 2 Brandon's house 2morrow? What's Brandon's address? [Brandon]: Hello fine citizens of Chios!!!

STUDYING FOR THE MID GREECE QUIZ-BY MARIAM All of chios should know at least 1 section of the study guide. the mid greece quiz is in 4 days. if everyone knows at least one thing 2day... then we'll have a day for each of the other sections and an extra day for review. Comprehende??? (that means uderstand???" in espanol)

Intro`` This is a cool tool we can use to chat to one another about the city-state, and is especially useful if a group member is unable to come to school.

It's very complicated, so you don't need to go clicking random buttons or you'll get lost :).

This way, we can all see who's typing and what they are saying at the same time. Remeber: CLICK THE SAVE PAGE BUTTON WHEN YOU ARE DONE!

Also, don't forget to type in your name when you are typing. When you are done, simply put a \\ or // to signify the next person's turn.

Chios Fast Facts

Chios page at Wikipedia The population of Chios is about 52,290 people (as of 2001) with 350 sq miles as an area. Its main agricultural products are mastic, olives, grapes, wine, olive oil, and figs. A mastic plant produces a hard resin-substance which is used for baking. It is also used in Turkish Delight.

[Mom] Here's a site I found by googling Chios images. It gives the history of ancient Chios and the Greek myth that tells how Chios got it's name.

Chariot Design Mariam: We need to come up with a date for another "chariot in progress time". it sounds like we all have our mind set on easter monday?? this "chariot in progress time" will include spray painting the chariot. will we do it at Brandon's house? I've also heard that we're going to put a flag on our chariot. does everyone agree? if we do, then that'll be another priority for our next "chariot in progress time".

My dad has these plans for a cub scout go-kart thing which we can steal the design from.

The word 'Chariot' comes from the Latin word 'Carrus'.

T-Shirt Design

Assignment: create a T-shirt for your city-state.

[Brandon's mom:] The group will need to create a design for a t-shirt. I'm sure the teachers intend for this to be more than just all agreeing to wear a blue shirt. Check with Mrs. Burris. For design, you can use fabric paints to paint on t-shirts (shirts of any color), or you can create a design on the computer by grabbing images and adding text and then print it onto iron-on t-shirt transfers. Please discuss with the group. Add you comments here://Mariam: We'll have starfit blue t-shirts from walmart or target. then, on the front, we'll add iron on letters that spell out chios (obviously) and we'll put our own handprints on it. on the back, we'll have a special number that we chose ourselves, and our greek nick name (for example my nick name is Posidinia!)

'Writers' [Brandon] I think I have found the writers of the medea, oedipus rex, and agamemnon, but these days with the internet, you just can trust anybody you don't know.

Agamemnon: Aeschylus

Oedipus Rex: Sophocles

Medea: Euripides

Again, if you have different info, feel free to edit.
