Welcome back, future leaders!

For today’s warm-up please do the following:

• Grab your student log and notebook from the crates.• Take out your homework – (the fable you wrote yesterday!)• Write in today’s date and objective on your student log.• Open your notebook and respond to the following prompts:

Define what a “chair” is to the best of your ability. Describe as many details of what the ideal “chair” is as you can. Write one full paragraph.

Make effort, not excuses.

USE YOUR TIME WISELY!

I’m going to have to think about that for a minute… Let’s come

World History with Mr. Golden__________________________________________________________

Philosophy - Greek Thinkers

Objective:________________________________________________________

FLWBAT examine the effects of ancient Greek thinkers

Agenda:________________________________________________________

- Review- A few more things about fables- Greek thinker notes- The death of Socrates- Exit slip- We’re done!

Fables, cont.________________________________________________________

Achilles was a great warrior who was killed when an arrow struck his heel.

In Greek Mythology… Today…An “Achilles heel” is a

person’s weak spot.

ARROW’D!

Fables, cont.________________________________________________________

In Greek Mythology… Today…Hercules was the

strongest man on

earth and completed 12 almost

impossible tasks.

When a person has

a really hard job to do it is called a

“Herculean” task.

Just wrestled a lion. NBD.

Fables, cont.________________________________________________________

In Greek Mythology… Today…King Midas was granted

one wish by the god Dionysus, so he wished

that everything he touched turned to gold.

A person who seems to get rich easily is

said to have a “Midas touch.”

Fables, cont.________________________________________________________

In Greek Mythology… Today…Tantalus was

punished for offending the gods. He had to

stand up to his chin in water under a fig tree. He was always thirsty and hungry, but the fruit was just out of

reach, and if he tried to drink the water

went away.

Something is “tantalizing” if you want it but it is just out of your reach.

Fables, cont.________________________________________________________

If their stories had this kind of impact…Just imagine what these creative minds

contributed to the arts and sciences!

unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Pythagoras:

He looked for relationships between math and the world around him, and believed he found a HUGE one with beauty!

Greek mathematician, born 570 BCE

Greek Thinkers:________________________________________________________

He believed that beauty could be mathematically proven by measuring the relationships between one’s features.

Pythagoras:Greek mathematician, born 570 BCE

Beauty: now also available for nerds.

Donald Duck can tell us more…

You know that class you hate? Yeah, that’s all me. Sorry about that.

Take a look at the reading…

1. Who were the three great philosophers of Ancient Greece?

2. Describe the teaching method that Socrates used.3. Why was Socrates sentenced to death?4. Who did Plato believe should rule the ideal

government?5. Who was Aristotle’s most famous student?If you finish early, think about this:

Were the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle really corrupting Athenian children?

Respond to each of the following prompts in your notebook:

Greek Thinkers:________________________________________________________

Socrates:oBasically the world’s nosiest personoTaught using the “Socratic dialogue”

– a series of questions meant to test an idea:

Socrates: What is beauty?Student: Beauty is seeing something as

it truly is.Socrates: But the truth can be harsh and

disturbing. How can that be considered beautiful?

Student: Errrrrrrrrrrrr…..

“As for me, all I know is that

I know nothing.”

PWNED!

Greek Thinkers:________________________________________________________

Plato:Socrates’ A+ student / #1 fan. (We only know about Socrates because Plato

told us about him.)oTried to define utopian (perfect) governmentoTried to understand where knowledge comes from… No big deal.TEACHER’S PET!

Greek Thinkers:________________________________________________________

Aristotle:Student of PlatooOne of the world’s first “scientists”oDeveloped the scientific method to examine the ways that the world workedoPublished 170 books

BEEN IN THE GAME WAAAAAAY BEFORE BILL

NYE!

Socrates:________________________________________________________

The Death of Socrates:Were the teachings of Socrates really corrupting Athenian

children?

Chairs:________________________________________________________

Greek philosophers tried to understand what truth, beauty, or justice were. We’re going to work on

something a bit simpler.

Chairs:________________________________________________________

It might seem like a really easy question…

But to truly define “chair” we have to understand what “chair-ness” is. What qualities does a chair have?

Chair?

Zeno’s Paradox:________________________________________________________

Just for funzors:

According to Greek philosopher Zeno, you’ve got nothing to

worry about.

You are in battle and someone just shotan arrow at you! OH NOES!

Yeah, well… I wasn’t scared anyway. That massive urine stain was already there.

Zeno’s Paradox:________________________________________________________

Just for funzors:According to Zeno’s paradox, that arrow will never reach you. Wanna know WHY?

Uhhh… What?I think some of this stuff might have gone off the deep end…
