a slight diversion

I had planned to continue our discussion of A Message to Garcia, ancient Greece, and the concept of excellence.  But circumstances dictated that we use class time to get everyone up to speed regarding JC email, blogs, and other technological concerns. 

To prepare for the rest of the week, the following homework assignment for tonight still stands.

Research the following, as they relate to ancient Greece:  In addition to your blog about today's class, include definitions or descriptions of these terms.

• arête
• polis
• Socrates
• the death of Socrates
• the Socratic method
• the date 508 BC
• agora
• what the ancient Greeks meant if they called you an idiot

Also, please note that I have provided a link to A Message to Garcia in my link list.
