Alexander the Greatttt

Today in our western civilization class we watched clips of the movie, Alexander.  Unlike Dionysus, Alexander fought WITH his army.  He was a much more honorable leader and conquered most all of the known world by age 25.  Although he didn’t have a good relationship father, he had an extremely good relationship with his mother, who made him believe that he was actually the son of one of the ancient Greek gods.  He attained his great horse Bucephalus by being the only person able to tame it.  He realized Bucephalus was actually just afraid of his own shadow, so he turned him away from the sun.

    There is more information about this rubric at Greek Project Rubric (found under the Links to History on my blog).

    1) 25/25
    2) 23/25
    3) 22/25
    4) 21/25

    Total: 91/100

    This was an excellent, well-researched report. I think it could have used a few more images, and you seemed a little hesitant at times during your presentation to the class, but it was well done overall.

    (Your classmates gave you a 92.)
