History

Life in ancient Greece. The earliest Greek civilizations thrived nearly 4,000 years ago. Still their culture has an impact on our lives today, in the arts, in philosophy, and in science, math, literature and politics. The ancient Greeks were great builders, thinkers, philosophers and military strategists. Some of the things we were given by the ancient Greeks include Trial by Jury, Democracy, Tragedy and Comedy, Theatre, The Olympics and Greek Myths.

The ancient Greeks did not have one king or queen. They lived in city-states. Each city-state was a separate political unit. The ancient Greeks all spoke the same language. They believed in the same gods. They shared a common heritage. They perceived themselves as Greeks. The ancient Greeks referred to themselves, however, as citizens of their individual city-states. Each city-state (polis) had its own personality, goals, laws and customs. Ancient Greeks were very loyal to their city-state.

Research what a day in the life of ancient Greece would feel like. Make sure they cover such topics as Men,Women,Girls,Boys,Slaves,Pets,Food,Houses,Clothing,Dance,Education,Weddings.

Get in pairs and create a travel brochure for someone who could travel back in time to ancient Greece. Make sure there are pictures and that not too much text is used, maps are handy. Write down what you currently know about your topic. Describe the location. Write down any key landmarks, interesting tourist spots, or historically significant locations that you now know about.
