The sixth grade humanities class has been asked to design a unit of study on ancient Greece.  After researching various aspects of this civilization, you will present your findings to the 5th grade students. You will also participate in the 5th grade Ancient Civilization's Celebration to be held in the Multi Purpose Room later this semester.

Tools and Resources:       

We will make use of the many fine books in our Media Center, plus books checked out from your local library.  Mrs. Herzog will be helping us locate wonderful print materials, plus recommending video resources available from the Media Center.

1. After presenting the scenario, we will brainstorm information we need to develop in order to respond to the directive. We will review the grading rubric and discuss its implications.

2. Students will also be assigned a specific famous Greek to research. They will be given a handout with details and dates.

5. Students will read print material, view videos, and use the websites provided to gain information on their selected topic.

9. Each student group will present their contribution to the rest of the students.

Project Sharing:  

We will have a Greek symposium. At that time, you will come dressed as your "famous Greek." We will hold our symposium in the Media Center. White grape juice and grapes will be served. There will be a moderator to announce each guest. You will give a short overview of your accomplishments to justify your presence at this exclusive affair! At a later date you will present your group project to your classmates and again to the 5th grade classes.
