City-State Time by-mariam I don't think that we should be talking about dates for meetings so much anymore. since we always have to consult with our parents all the time... we'll just write on the wiki when we're free instead of talking about it during city-state time. we should be studying for every test too. we might get an award on our poster for greatest average. so let's quiz each other not just on our mid-greece quiz but also for our wordly wise! maybe that's included in our city-state avrege. u never know... she took the averege for Star Fisher!

STUDYING FOR THE MID GREECE QUIZ-BY MARIAM All of chios should know at least 3 sections of the study guide. the mid greece quiz is in 3 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)

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.

Service Project

[Brandon's Mom 4/2] The group needs to decide on the service project(s) and dates and make sure that works with the parents.

Mariam: So have we all agreed on meeting at emily's house for the bake sale? since we have that down... i think we should start planning the time and date of our bake sale. if we want to do any other service projects be sure to edit this section ASAP so all of us can orginize this easily.

Emily says: Marium don't you mean Monday? because sunday is easter! Also my mom says we can do the bake sale here at my house, likey or no likey. rsvp

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".

GRANT-I AM NOT FREE! [Brandon's Mom 4/2] The work on the chariot yesterday went very well. Thank you everyone! The next meeting will be on Monday April 9th at 1:30pm. Bring your swim suits for hot tub after. The group will paint the chariot, let it dry, and then apply any stickers you want. suggestions - "flames" on the side and the word, "CHIOS" letter stickers on the back. Brandon's parents will get all the paint. Everyone looks for appropriate stickers.

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!)

mariam: aw... we'll need to find out a date when the majority of us is free INCLUDING GRANT!!! for the t-shirts because we're doing it at her house. so we've all agreed on having our # on the back of the t-shirt silver and our name in gold. what color are we doing for the name chios.

'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.

1156 Ivy Hill Ct. Mableton GA 30126 For all of you coming on Sunday, April 1st, here is my address. Mariam: thank's brandon. who's coming 2morrow??? [Brandon] Drew and you. Drew, make sure to bring your wheelbarrel

Grant I am NOT free. I feel like i should get 2 do part of the chariot and i feel like y'all are setting days when emily and i r not free instead of other people in the group. It is NOT FAIR! Grant- my mom said we could do the t-shirts at my house

Mariam:that's great! what time and date r we talking. and guys i think grant's right. we've succeeded getting emily over 2 brandon's house but we need to be more open-minded and flexible so we can allow grant's tight scheduel into ours. grant... list all the dates u r free for anything. we'll take those dates and use them for our meetings. everyone chip in and tell each other what days we can come. we'll do the best we can on catching everyone up on everything if they missed a group meeting out of school. Since we all agreed on going to brandon's house on the sun. after easter from 12:00-3:00, i think we should make the flag at school since grant hasn't had a chance to make it to any of our meetings. Of course... we'll consult with mrs. burris before we do anything.
