munchkin day

Today in class, we continued taking notes on Mr. Schick’s wonderful powerpoint. Also, today was my turn on the schedule to bring food into class, so I brought everyone munchkins. Sadly, I had to leave my favorite class early for a track meet. Anyways, below are the notes I got to take before I left class:

·       Although fertile valleys cover one quarter of the Peninsula, only about 20% is arable

·       Arable means that it can be easily farmed on, flat enough to be plowed and stuff

·       Greek diet consisted of grapes, grains, and olives

·       This Lack of resources most likely is one of the reasons that drove the Greeks to colonize other places

·       Back then in ancient Greece time, temperatures usually ranged from the mid 40s in the winter to the low 80s in the summer- although it was possible to become pretty hot in the summers, it was normally nice weather year-round
