We began class by doing a peer review of our Athens/Sparta essay.  I always urge students to give a compliment and a suggestion and keep the review very positive and helpful.

Then, we did some more revision of our essays.  We also began our Athens/Sparta page and we will write the finished essay on the page and draw pictures to finish it.

HOMEWORK:  work on this Athens/Sparta page for 20 minutes tonight.
