Esl C Unit 2 Canadian Dreams and Realities
Unit Description
After reading an essay about Canada as a land of dreams, students consider the dreams that brought them and their families to Canada and use this as a basis for a collage or Venn diagram. From this essay, current issues in Canadian society are identified.Students discover the historical and geographical basis for these issues. Students gather information in a variety of graphic organizers and search newspapers and the Internet to discover how these issues impact life in Canada today.
This information forms the basis for the culminating activity, a group presentation. The language emphasis of the unit is on modal verbs, letter writing, and the present perfect.
Students prepare group collages or Venn diagrams which reflect on the visions/ideas that they had about Canada before they came and the realities of life in Canada. Students read and discuss an essay about Canada as a land of dreams and complete comprehension and vocabulary exercises on it.
Using examples from the essay, students learn the meanings of various modal verbs and use these to write a letter of advice to a friend. They include this letter in their Autobiographical Portfolio.
· Where were you when you were told you were immigrating to

Sarcophagus in Italy
Sepulchers (burial caskets) carved in marble, peperino, alabaster, limestone and tufa. Types of burial containers including urns, caskets, and sarcophagi. Some have figural scenes carved in relief or decorative moldings. Approximate date: 7th c. B.C. to 4th c. A.D.This example is an Etruscan sarcophagus with the deceased reclining on the lid as if at a banquet. Other examples portray a deceased couple. A different type of Etruscan sarcophagus has a double sloped lid imitating a roof. The sides of the casket are often carved in relief or, less frequently, decorated with painted scenes.

Jewelry in Ancient Roma
The Etruscans lived in Etruria (western Tuscany, Italy) and were a non Italic people whose culture was based largely on the Greek culture. The Etruscans had a profound influence on the Romans from the 7th century BC to the 5th century BC. They were eventually overcome by the Romans in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. Jewelry (joias) is a fascinating fashion accessory that has been popular from ancient times.
It has played a variety of roles including political, religious and ornamental, and jewelry artefacts have helped modern historians shape pictures of the daily lives of ancient civilisations.
It has played a variety of roles including political, religious and ornamental, and jewelry artefacts have helped modern historians shape pictures of the daily lives of ancient civilisations.
Jewelry in ancient Rome is no exception. There are literary accounts and picture such as in the Regina tombstone, plus lots of other artefacts available that help us to understand the role jewelry played during this fascinating time.
Regina Tombstone
This tombstone shows Regina sitting in a wicker chair with her jewellery box and basket of wool beside her. Regina came from southern Britain and was the slave, and later the wife, of Barates from Syria.

We will be looking at this map
where did the Etruscans come from?
Etruscan language cannot be translated
Find pictures of sarcophagi, and funerary artifacts, such as personal items, mirrors, jewellery how do these show how they lived and reflect their society?

Design an Etruscan tomb
Around 700 BC, the _______ Age people we call the Villanovans began to be influenced by the __________ and Phoenicians who were sailing around the Mediterranean. They began to do things the way the Greeks and the Phoenicians did them. Historians call these people the Etruscans. People used to think that the Etruscans came from someplace in West Asia, because the ________ historian Herodotus tells a story about some people from West Asia, the Lydians, who might have been the Etruscans. He says that these people fell on hard times, and didn't have enough to eat. Now these people loved to gamble with dice. So they decided to only eat on even days, and on the odd days they would gamble, to take their minds off how hungry they were! But the famine went on for years, and Herodotus says that after a while these people decided that half of them should go look for a better place to live. So historians thought maybe these were the Etruscans. But now we think that the Etruscans always lived in Italy.
The Etruscans lived mainly in northern _______. Because they were learning from the Greeks and the Phoenicians, they learned how to do a lot of things that the Latins living around Rome didn't know how to do yet. The Etruscans built cities with_______ walls. They built big stone __________ and they put big statues in them. They dug canals and ditches to irrigate (bring water to) their fields. They had organized governments with kings. Soon some of the other people in Italy began to copy the Etruscan ways of doing things.
About the same time as the Etruscans, a lot of Greeks also came to make Greek colonies. At first they were probably mainly trading posts, but later Greek people settled down there and began farming. The Greeks settled in southern Italy, where they took over most of the Etruscan land there. The Greeks founded the city of ________, which became an important port (and it still is today).
The Etruscans traded a great deal with the Greeks and with the Phoenicians. The Etruscans sent lumber, furs, and probably slaves to the East. They bought jewelry, spices, perfume, and Greek vases from the East. Most of the Greek vases we have in museums today were found in Italy, in the tombs of the Etruscans!
The city of ______ lay between the northern and southern parts of Italy where the Etruscans lived. Because it was a good place to cross the Tiber river, the Etruscans wanted to control it. For a while, ______ may have been under the rule of Etruscan kings. These kings, like other Etruscan kings, made people build strong stone walls and stone ________ and canals for water.

My choice of temple
My name is Soomin Suh, and I choose Angkor Wat, the temple in Cambodia.
Angkor Wat (or Angkor Vat), a World Heritage Site, is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built for King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation—first Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, then Buddhist. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

Hercules labour #1 Soomin Suh
Hercules' first task was to bring King Eurystheus the skin of an invulnerable lion which lived hills around Nemea.
Hercules went to Nemea and began to search for the lion. Soon, he discovered his arrows were useless against the beast.Instead, Hercules picked up his club and went after the lion.
After following the lion to a cave that has two entrances, he blocked one of them and approached the lion through the other.
He grabbed the lion in his arms, and held it until the beast chocked to death.
James herakles labour 5
For the fifth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King Augeas' stables. Hercules knew this job would mean getting dirty and smelly, but sometimes even a hero has to do these things. Then Eurystheus made Hercules' task even harder: he had to clean up after the cattle of Augeas in a single day.
Now King Augeas owned more cattle than anyone in Greece. Some say that he was a son of one of the great gods, and others that he was a son of a mortal; whosever son he was, Augeas was very rich, and he had many herds of cows, bulls, goats, sheep and horses.
Ray)))))))))))heracles labour 8
Hercules had captured the Cretan Bull, Eurystheus sent him to get the man-eating mares of Diomedes, the king of a Thracian tribe called the Bistones, and bring them back to him in Mycenae.
According to Apollodorus, Hercules sailed with a band of volunteers across the Aegean to Bistonia. There he and his companions overpowered the grooms who were tending the horses, and drove them to the sea. But by the time he got there, the Bistones had realized what had happened, and they sent a band of soldiers to recapture the animals. To free himself to fight, Hercules entrusted the mares to a youth named Abderos.
Unfortunately, the mares got the better of young Abderos and dragged him around until he was killed.
Meanwhile Hercules fought the Bistones, killed Diomedes, and made the rest flee. In honor of the slain Abderos, Hercules founded the city of Abdera.
The hero took the mares back to Eurystheus, but Eurystheus set them free. The mares wandered around until eventually they came to Mount Olympos, the home of the gods, where they were eaten by wild beasts.
Euripides gives two different versions of the story, but both of them differ from Apollodorus's in that Hercules seems to be performing the labor alone, rather than with a band of followers. In one, Diomedes has the four horses harnessed to a chariot, and Hercules has to bring back the chariot as well as the horses. In the other, Hercules tames the horses from his own chariot:

Unit 2 – Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic Greece
This is the most expansive era of Greek culture for which much archaeological, artistic, literary, and historical evidence exists. In order to make manageable the abundance of content available, this time period has been sub-divided into three sections as follows:
A: Archaic
Here, archaic Greek art (particularly pottery and statuary) is presented, along with the development of archaic Greek government, the origins of philosophy, temple construction, and early Greek literature. At this time in history, Greek culture truly emerged from the Dark Ages following the fall of the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations.
B: Classical
The Classical period marks the peak of the Greek civilization in such areas as drama, literature, art, archaeology, religion, philosophy, and government. It marks the defining moment in the evolution of Greek culture, which has had an enormous and enduring effect on later Western cultures.
C: Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great
