Lesson Steps:
Today we reviewed our work from Friday and some students shared the homework assignment. We then went over 4 new words: obstinate, indignant, shuttle (for weaving) and descendant that are from the story of Arachne. We then started to look at 8 pieces of evidence about Greek geography and students then hypothesized how these facts would influence the way the Greeks lived. We then read two passages about how the Greeks lived. This reading was in preparation for tonight's homework.
Homework: Complete the Venn diagram of comparing and contrasting Greece to another civilization that we have studied.
