     Today we went over what we will be studying next again.  We will be studying Greece.  This was the second day that we spent on Greece.  Today we shared our Google Docs Presentations.  I had to research Xerxes.  He was the one that conquered Greece temporarily.  He led Persia during the famous battle at Thermopylea.  He had problems in Asia so he pulled all of his troops out and the Greeks regained control.  Other people had other events and people that led up to Xerxes and his Empire.  There were battles talked about like Marathon.  There were people talked about like Darius who happens to be Xerxes father that started the war.
