Monday - finish reading and taking notes on Chapter 3.
Tuesday - Look at pages 146-147. Read Pericles' "Funeral Oration" and Soapstone it.
Also answer the following:
1) How does Pericles describe Athenian democracy?
2) What kind of citizens does he believe democracy produces?
3) Although Pericles praised the Athenian military prowess, his city lost the Peloponnesian War. In what ways does this affect your assessment of his arguments?
Just in case you forgot:
