Section 3 - you got your tests back yesterday. Great job! We then discussed the early days of Rome, and the establishment of the form of government known as a republic. To clarify something we talked about today: go here to see just how the Romans drained a swamp, and built a city on it. It's pretty interesting (and not very long).
Side note: the Chicago River used to flow into Lake Michigan, which was their supply of clean drinking water. A massive public works project reversed the flow of the river, keeping sewage and pollutants from fouling the lake. Details can be found here.
