Greek Geography Continued

AIM: I will define 4 vocabulary words and analyze how geography helped develop Greek society in 8 cards and 2 readings.

Standard: 7.8.2 Describe connections of geography and the development of Greek society.

Do Now:
1) True or False? Greece had a very large river just like Egypt.
2) True or False? Greeks lived near the sea and there were many good harbors.
3) True or False? Greece had great soil with no rocks and it was easy to farm there.
4) True or False? Lots of Reeds and no stones, so they built many of their buildings out of reeds.

Lesson Steps: Today's lesson was a continuation of yesterday's lesson. We did not read the two passages from page 179 in all classes. We reviewed the answers to our cards and then read page 179 independently to find facts that would help support our key question for the day: "How did the sea affect the economy of Greece?" We then looked over MEAL paragraph organizers with our facts to be ready to complete tonight's homework.

Homework: Write a MEAL paragraph that answers the question: "How did the sea affect the economy of Greece?" Use notes from yesterday's handout.
