Quiz Day and New Topic

Today we took a quiz in class on Ancient Egypt. I thought the quiz was hard and there were things on there that we didn't go over. I didn't do very well, even though I thought I knew the material pretty well. When we were done we started taking notes on the new topic ancient Greece. I took a page of notes before I ran out of time. Here are some of the notes I took in class today.
