Above is Emerson's beeswax sculpture of Alexander The Great and a few of the men in his Army. Alexander is the one with the star on his shield, of course. The map is Alexander's Kingdom.
Here is Emerson's presentation verbatim:
"Aristotle helped him to read and do all this really good stuff to be a great king. He became king at 21. He was a good planner at wars. He was a good leader. When his soldiers walked, he walked. When they were hungry he was hungry. He never left them in starvation. He didn't eat any more or less than them. Well, maybe a rice blade. He became king of Macedonia, Greece, Palestine, Egypt, and Asia. Alexander The Great died by a mosquito bite that carried some disease called malaria. He was 33 years old" - by Emerson
We've been reading Greek Mythology and Annie is planning on telling the story of Athena and Arachne as well as giving a brief history of the Olympic Torch.
