Welcome back, future leaders! For today’s warm-up please do the following:

1. 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. I’m going to have to think about that for a minute… Let’s come back to this later. USE YOUR TIME WISELY!

3. World History with Mr. Golden __________________________________________________________ Philosophy - Greek Thinkers

4. Objective: ________________________________________________________ FLWBATexamine the effects of ancient Greek thinkers

5. Agenda: ________________________________________________________ • Review • A few more things about fables • Greek thinker notes • The death of Socrates • Exit slip • - We’re done!

6. Fables, cont. ________________________________________________________ In Greek Mythology… Today… Achilles was a great warrior who was killed when an arrow struck his heel. An “Achilles heel” is a person’s weak spot. ARROW’D!

7. 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.

8. 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.”

9. Fables, cont. ________________________________________________________ In Greek Mythology… Today… Something is “tantalizing” if you want it but it is just out of your reach. 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.

10. Fables, cont. ________________________________________________________ If their stories had this kind of impact… Just imagine what these creative minds contributed to the arts and sciences! Or, better yet – what they could contribute to your NOTES!!! Notes/definitions go on the right side Keywords go on the left side

11. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Philosophy: Investigation into the truths of existence in the world. Why? Why… am I wearing this Kangol? Basically, philosophers loved to ask the question, “WHY?”

12. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Pythagoras: Greek mathematician, born 570 BCE He believed that numbers were holy, and held the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. He looked for relationships between math and the world around him, and believed he found a HUGE one with beauty!

13. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Pythagoras: Greek mathematician, born 570 BCE He believed that beauty could be mathematically proven by measuring the relationships between one’s features. Beauty: now also available for nerds.

14. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Pythagoras: Greek mathematician, born 570 BCE He found that there was a mathematical relationship between harmonies played on stringed instruments. Donald Duck can tell us more…

15. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Pythagoras:

16. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Euclid: You know that class you hate? Yeah, that’s all me. Sorry about that. Greek mathematician, born 300 BCE • Pretty much invented geometry – (the study of flat shapes and lines) • He also wrote about the relationship between mathematics and music Donald Duck can tell us more…

17. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Euclid:

18. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Take a look at the reading… Respond to each of the following prompts in your notebook: • Who were the three great philosophers of Ancient Greece? • Describe the teaching method that Socrates used. • Why was Socrates sentenced to death? • Who did Plato believe should rule the ideal government? • Whowas Aristotle’s most famous student? If you finish early, think about this: Were the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle really corrupting Athenian children?

19. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Socrates: • Basically the world’s nosiest person • Taught 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!

20. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Plato: Socrates’ A+ student / #1 fan. (We only know about Socrates because Plato told us about him.) • Tried to define utopian (perfect) government • Tried to understand where knowledge comes from… No big deal. Teacher’s pet!

21. Greek Thinkers: ________________________________________________________ Aristotle: Student of Plato • One of the world’s first “scientists” • Developed the scientific method to examine the ways that the world worked • Published 170 books Been in the game waaaaaaybefore Bill NYE!

22. Socrates: ________________________________________________________ The Death of Socrates: Were the teachings of Socrates really corrupting Athenian children?

23. Chairs: ________________________________________________________ Greek philosophers tried to understand what truth, beauty, or justice were. We’re going to work on something a bitsimpler.

24. Chairs: ________________________________________________________ It might seem like a really easy question… Chair? But to truly define “chair” we have to understand what “chair-ness” is. What qualities does a chair have?

25. Zeno’s Paradox: ________________________________________________________ Just for funzors: You are in battle and someone just shot an arrow at you! OH NOES! According to Greek philosopher Zeno, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Yeah, well… I wasn’t scared anyway. That massive urine stain was already there.

26. 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…

27. Exit Ticket: ________________________________________________________ Use the all of today’s notes and handouts to answer the listed questions on the provided paper. Thank you for all your hard work today!

28. We’re done! ________________________________________________________ Make sure to put your notebooks in the crate and your folders in folders, please! Thank you for all your hard work today!
