Today was a shorter class period due to the presentation of Alice in Wonderland. Since time was limited we skipped the Do Now and went right into reviewing yesterday's video guide.
AIM: I will document 3-6 legacies of Ancient Greece in today's world by filling out an organizer about today's video and documenting 3-5 ways in which the Greeks adapted to their environment.
Standard: 7.8.2 Describe the connections between geography and the development of city-states in the region of the Aegean Sea.
Lesson Steps:
We discussed the video guide going over it in detail and also the Horrible Histories handout about Cronos, the Polybius' Checkerboard and Dreadful Democracy. No additional handouts.
Homework: Hand in any missing work and write a BCR that answers this question: Would you like to live in Ancient Greece?

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology from American University in 1997 and my Masters in Teaching Social Studies from Brown University in 2002.
