On Tuesday 4th, Nov. we spent the day going over Indian religions (reviewing Buddhism from last time and then talking about Hinduism this time). We then graded our assignment from last time and then spent the remainder of the class learning about the impact of the following three great rulers: Alexander the Great, Chandragupta Maurya, and Asoka.
