Linear B

Linear B
A Historical Poem
By
Bayle James


A writing system there used to be
By the name of Linear B
It was used by people from yesterday
It was written on tablets made of clay

No one knew what it meant
The archeologists didn’t make a dent
The coded words were not cracked
The symbols all seemed so abstract

They needed someone to break the code
No one knew how it flowed
They looked around Knossos for a clue
But no one could figure out what to do

Minoan was the language they thought it would be
The clay tablets did not give away its history
Everyone was stuck on this one thought
And they were all becoming very distraught

Along came a boy who knew what to do
He studied at home and found a clue
He loved to learn languages all the time
Solving this puzzle made him feel sublime

He knew Greek, French and Swiss
This to him made him reminisce
‘These letters look Greek.’ Said the boy
He was right and full of joy

The tablets were translated into English from Greek
He had to explain his amazing technique
He got published, this boy was a star
He would walk around while smoking a cigar

Michael Ventris solved Linear B
All the archeologists were so full of glee
The 4360 tablets were found and translated
In English they were created

The Dorians

The Dorians lived in villages in the mountains of northern Greece. They shared a place called Hellas with the Mycenaeans for 500 years. The Mycenaeans were allot stronger than the Dorians. Their cities were well protected and they had no interest in the poor Dorians. The Dorians were the weaker ones and couldn't win battles.

This all started to change when they discovered iron. In 1200 B.C. they started making weapons out of it, like the iron slashing sword. The iron was allot better then bronze. It was lighter and sharper and could even go right through a bronze armor. This was the begining of the Dorians becoming strong.

They weren't the only ones who started to use iron. Lots of the world was using it too, except for the Mycenaeans. One ingredient you needed to make the iron could not be found in the south were the Mycenaeans lived. They did have lots of bronze, but it wasn't as strong as iron. Since the Dorians had stronger weapons, they were able to defeat people that they couldn't defeat before.

They had conquered most of Hellas by the time 1150 B.C. They burned cities and scared people away. They fled until there was no one left. They destroyed the Mycenaeans civilization and started to rule Hellas.

The Minoan Civilization

The Minoan Civilization

The Minoan Civilization existed from 3000 to 1400 B.C. It was established on the island of Crete. The Minoans were remarkable people with many special skills which included pottery, weaving, art, building and engineering.

A very common way that people have learned about the Minoans ways of life are from frescoes. Frescoes are wallpapers that show the Minoan way of life. Through these frescoes people have found many interesting facts about Minoans and how they lived.

Through frescoes we have discovered the many activities that the Minoans participated in and enjoyed. These activities included gymnastics, wrestling and boxing. They even played an ancient version of backgammon. Woman played important roles in all of this. The Minoans were civilization traders. They were the earliest people to trade throughout the Mediterranean. Woman took part in religious ceremonies, sporting events and even working jobs.

Frescoes have also taught us that the Minoans also made a living through farming. They grew grain crops, olives and grapes. They also raised a variety of animals including herds of sheep, goats and pigs. Plow carts were pulled by oxen.

It is said that much of the religion of the later Greeks may have started with the Minoans. The Minoans had a very different way to worship their gods. They thought of god as mother earth. Instead of a temple or a church, the Minoans had small shrines to worship their goddess in. Worshipers would bring gitfs to the shrine. They would often bring food or wine. Sometimes they would even bring their most valuable Jewelry or artwork.

The great Minoan civilization lasted about 1600 years. It ended dramatically with a volcano eruption. This explosion was the largest in human history. The Minoans civilization never recovered from this disaster. Once Knossos, the largest gathering sight on Crete was rebuilt after the volcano, invaders from the mainland called Mycenaean’s had conquered Crete.

The Mystery of Linear B By Danny Greenberg

In the late 19th and 20th centuries, an archeologist named Sir Arthur Evans found strange tablets while digging in the ruins of Knossos. The tablets were made out of clay, and there were clearly two different styles of writing on some of them. Because of their discovery they separated them in to two categories: Linear A and Linear B. Evans devoted his whole career to discovering these tablets, and because of what he found, he created the concept of Minoan civilization.

Although Evans found these remarkable tablets, nobody could understand them. Many archeologists tried to decipher the writing on them, but none of them succeeded. Then in 1936 a boy named Michael Ventris was listening to a lecture on the Minoans. He was very fascinated by them, but as he was leaving the lecture, the only thing on his mind was, “what exactly did the Minoans write on the tablets?” After the lecture he promised that one day he would solve the mystery and crack the code of the tablets.

Sure enough, after World War II, Ventris became an architect and a detective. Michael Ventris and a man named John Chadwick started to study the mysterious tablets. They noticed that the writing on the tablets looked a lot like Greek. They started to translate the symbols, and it worked. They were able to translate more and more of the different words, until they had a full tablet deciphered. Together, Michael Ventris and John Chadwick had uncovered the mystery of Linear B in 1952. Michael Ventris had fulfilled his promise that he made in 1936.

Scientists all around the world were amazed by this discovery. Eventually all of the Linear B tablets were translated. They ended up listing information on names, numbers of soldiers, taxes, lists of gods and they even mentioned information on cows. Although all of the Linear B tablets were discovered, Linear A tablets are still a huge mystery. There have been many theories of decipherment for them, but none of them have fully worked. The work that Ventris and Chadwick did has hugely helped to improve our knowledge on Ancient Greece.

Bayle James


Anything that is on the computer is fair game. You have to be totally careful about what you write and how you write it. Once something is in cyberspace there is no stopping it!

I think that it is seems unfair that the school was looking at the students account without them knowing. I think that if the school sent out a notice that mentioned the fact that they would be looking on Facebook it would have prepared the kids and they would not have written bad things. Since the school did not send out a warning this one student is like an example to the other students about what can happen when someone posts something inappropriate on the internet.

I heard that sometimes universities look at Facebook when they are choosing people to go to their schools. Anything that is posted can be seen. It is kind of funny how Facebook was made by two university students and now it can be used against university students.

Facebook

In my opinion I think that the student is wrong
because he posted the comment in public and involved a
name of the teacher. If it did no involve the name of
teacher it would not matter. It is false labeling
because the comment is not true.

The punishment fit the
crime because the teacher was so nervous to go back to school,
so she missed so she missed out on classes and salary. To make it even
he should miss out on the trip. If I were in the teachers shoes,
I would leave the school for a few days and if people do not forget, I
would move schools.

Facebook Situation

Bram offended and embarrassed his teacher. He was not aware that his conversation was not private at all and as a consequence was not being able to go on a trip to Montreal that he was looking forward to all year. Was it acceptable for Bram to do this and shoud he have gotten punished like he did?

My opinion is pulled to both sides so that I feel sympathy for each individual in this situation. I think that Bram was stupid and careless for discussing something that could potentially be harmful on his wall. He obviously did not realise the effects and consequences of the internet which is open to anyone. I think that the school was right to punish Bram but in my opinion the punishment did not fit the crime. The trip to Montreal seemed to be the highlight of the year that everyone was looking forward to, and I do not think that he should have gotten banned from the trip. I think the school should have told the students that they were monitoring their accounts before they stepped in. I think that if the school had told them that they were doing this  none of this would have happened. I understand that what happens to the teachers affects the school in some way but I do not necessarily think that the school should have gotten involved. I think that Bram and the teacher should have worked it out before the school intervened. I can not decide what kind of punishment he should have received with out knowing how far it spread. 

On the other hand I think what Bram did was very wrong. Not only was it lashon harah but he did it in a space where it could have gotten public and it did. If I was the teacher I would have been quite offended and upset with the students. Even if what he said was true it would be very mean but he made something up that was totally untrue.  Also once you write something on the internet you can not take it back so a false lie was exposed in the net for any one to see.  

Bram’s Facebook Dilemma

Bram’s Facebook Dilemma
By: Marc Levin

Was it right for Bram to make fun of his teacher on Facebook?

I think that everyone is right in their own way.

Bram’s dad, David, is right because the school had no authority to punish his child while he was at home without discussing it with him first.
The school is correct as, it was a rude thing that Bram did, and maybe the school does not tolerate rude things.
Bram was right because he didn’t now what he was saying was public. After all, even the President of Schools in Montreal said that kids can be irresponsible. Maybe Bram was just getting carried away with his buddies.
Finally the teacher has a good point.

To me, she has the best point of all. This one wall post affected her reputation. No school will ever accept her if she wanted to move. If she was too embarrassed to go back to school, this would alter her financial situation.

How are we going to solve this problem? My solution would be to have an awareness week about this situation. I would bring in a guest speaker that knows about Facebook, have him/her inform us about its safety, and make it a fun and good learning experience for everyone.

Hopefully the teacher fixed her problem, and that Bram got an easier punishment.

Facebook Response

Facebook

My opinion on this situation is very mixed. I feel this is very wrong of the student because the teacher’s reputation is now wrecked. By doing a little joke on the web it can affect someone very much. If I was put in the teacher’s shoes I would be greatly hurt.

I also feel that doing what the school did was a huge invasion of privacy. The boy went onto Facebook assuming that he was able to post a joke about his teacher and would not be affected by it at all. If the boy had known that the administration team would be searching Facebook, he most probably would have avoided doing this to his teacher.

Another opinion I have on this situation is the punishment was not fair and a bit extreme. The father stated on the clip we head that he is very cautious of what his son does on the internet. His father also said that his son should not be punished because his action was done at home and not at school. In other words he should not be punished for what he has done outside of school. I agree with this because a boy lost the chance to go on an amazing trip just because of something he had done irresponsibly at home.

A possible solution to this problem is to make sure students set their settings to private. This could avoid public humiliation to the staff at the school. This is an easy task and if the students are not responsible enough to do so, is there fault. Although, in this boy’s case he was not sure how to so set his settings to private so under these circumstances it can be understood.

All in all I truly feel that this student’s action was not right but the punishment was not fair to the student. This will now teach all his classmates to be careful with what they say and do on Facebook and the internet itself.
