Night of Notables

Today was our year level's Night Of Notables. Our school organises this event for the year 7s near the end of the school year.

The Night Of Notables is an event where the year 7 students choose a famous person from ancient history (earlier than 500AD). We had to research our person beforehand for our conversations with the parents and teachers on the actual day. We had to dress, act and talk in character.

This was an important event for all of us because it is an assessment task for History, so that the teachers can factor this part into their student reports.

I chose Alexander the Great. He was one of the greatest conquerors of all time. He conquered Greece, Persia and Egypt. He is a great, great person, and even now many people know who he is.

Many of my friends chose to be Greek Gods or Goddesses.

There were many people who attended this event.

It was a very enjoyable hour to act as an ancient person in the agora. I was enjoying every second of it, unlike 2 of my friends who were counting down every minute of it and waiting for the Night Of Notables to end.

I don't think that's right, becuase this is the one and only time we are ever going to do this.

It was a great night, I will always remeber it. I think that most people thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
