The test

So today we had our mid unit test because Ancient Greece is a very big topic and is easier to learn in two parts. The test I think I did very well on and hopefully it will boost my grade up to a high B or an A. After I finished the test we had to take notes in our notebooks from the textbook and from the first two pages I already have a bunch of notes. I still have to finish reading all of the pages but when I'm done I'll put the notes I have into my blog.

• From 477-431 B.C Athens experienced a growth in intellectual and artistic learning.
• This period is known as the golden age of Athens
• sculpture,Drama,poetry and philosophy all reached new heights in the golden age
