happy Tuesday to you

Hello, and good morning to both Honors sections! I hope you are all well this fine morning. Here are your cyber assignments.

Honors 202, this is your work for today:

Write brief biographies of the following three people: Phillip II, Alexander the Great, and Darius III. Make note of the connections between them. Post to your blog by 11:59pm tonight. This assignment is worth 10 points.

Honors 201 will work on this assignment:

When he was young, Alexander the Great was living an amazing life. His father, Phillip II, was the king of Macedonia, and Phillip hired one of the greatest minds of his time, Aristotle, to be Alexander’s personal tutor. When he was around 13, Alexander acquired a horse named Bucephalus. Bucephalus is a Greek term meaning “ox-head,” a reference to the horse’s huge head. The relationship between Alexander and Bucephalus was exceptional, lasting from Alexander’s youth through the many times he rode his horse into battle.

Your assignment for today is to do some independent research, and find out everything you can about the amazing relationship between Alexander and Bucephalus. As always, post your work to your blog by 11:59 tonight. I’m looking forward to reading everybody’s essays, especially those of you who have your own horse stories.
