Class we continued to talk about Julius Caesar. We talked about how in 44 BC he named himself dictator first for six months, then for life.  While he was dictator he granted citizenship to the people in provinces. He expanded the Senate, adding his friends. He also created jobs for the poor, especially through public works projects.  Julius Caesar in greased paper soldiers and also  started colonies where those without land could own property. Julius Caesar was killed by the Senate, staffed 23 times. The Senate called Julius Caesar to come to their office to discuss political topics, as he walked in men from the Senate jumped at him with daggers starting him 23 times.

power point

Today in class we went over two power point on the medieval times. We look at who the rulers were and what they did for their kingdom and weather the improved the life of the kingdom or if they made life worse. Here are some of the notes that I took on the power point.  -        Clovis rules the Franks in Gaul until his death in 511 -        Most of the rest of Europe consists of smaller kingdoms (seven in England alone) -        Clovis' descendants include Charles Martel, known as Charles the Hammer (great name!) -        Hammer defeats a Muslim raiding party from Spain at the  Battle of Tours in 732   -        (If he hadn't won, western Europe could have become part of the Muslim Empire -         that's huge!)
