Today we talked more about philosophy and about if school is a good place for learning or not. We talked about what the allegory of the cave means in real life. We looked at a picture of a pipe that Sia this is not a pipe, because it was actually a picture of a drawing of a painting of a pipe. This was philosophy because it made us think about what it meant when it said it wasn't a pipe. We had to make a conclusion about what it actually was after taking time to think about it. We also started learning more about Ancient Greece. Here are my notes from today:
- The the worlds greatest civilizations were located on water.
- Mesopotamia- Tigris/Euphrates
