Ancient Greece
Exemplary work by World History students at Southwood HS
Citizens of the World
Students have been working hard to gain an understanding of how ancient Greece is relevant to the world we live in today. We've been studying how Greek mythology and legends contributed to their societal values, how democracy developed, and how the Persian Wars affected the people of Greece. We will be finishing the unit with a mock-trial of Socrates and a unit test.
Superstar Essay
Literacy skills aren't just for the English classroom...we've been working on comparison/contrast and persuasive writing in S.S.
Greek Mythology projects
4/5 period chose a poster project (see picture included) and 7th period created iMovies to expand their knowledge of Greek mythology.
Mount Olympus in the classroom
The 2nd period World History class voted to do a skit so we turned the classroom into Mount Olympus and they mixed and mingled as their chosen god or goddess. It was fun to see them express their knowledge of the subject matter in a creative way!
Using new technology to understand the past!!
Glogster
Students were asked to research portions of Homer's the Iliad. Then, as a group, they had to create a Glog, an online interactive poster, to describe a Greek "hero" and his influence on Greek culture.
