For homework tonight, watch the following clips about Alexander the Great. Adding up all the individual parts is about 45 of viewing time. If you have 4 hours, you can totally watch the whole thing, although I hope you have something more productive you could be doing for three hours of your time. After watching the clips, post your response to the following statement on your blog:
"Does Alexander the Great deserve to be called 'the Great'? Why or why not?
In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great (Part Two)
2:00 - 8:00 - In Iraq, on the plane with the Brits
28:26 - 34:00ish - Persepolis burns
43:53 - 47:40 - death of Darius
In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great (Part Three - Across the Hindu Kush)
Opens in Kabul, which shows the state of the city before the US invasion (not pretty). They then go to the equivalent of the MFA in Kabul, kind of sad.

46:00 - 48:30 - the march begins, water dumping incident
