Assignment: You are to pick one of the following four options to produce a project detailing some aspect of life in Ancient Greece. All projects will be graded on content and presentation.
Content: Must be accurate and display both knowledge and understanding of your topic. You must be able to answer questions from your classmates and teacher.
Presentation: This includes both the appearance of your project and the time you spend in front of the class discussing your topic.
Project Options:
1) Daily Life Presentation – You are to write a brief story from the perspective of a citizen of ancient Greece. You will include information on occupation, religion, food, culture, and any other relevant topic you choose. For your presentation, you will dress in Greek clothing and discuss the topic as an Ancient Greek in our classroom.
2) Architecture Photo Essay – You will take pictures of Greek-influenced architecture around Charleston. Choose three to five of your best pictures and write a brief paragraph describing how this piece of architecture is influenced by ancient Greece. You will place these pictures and paragraphs on a poster to display in the classroom.
3) Portrait of a City-State – You will research a particular city-state and create a poster to tell the class about the location. You should include a map of Greece with your city-state shown, at least 3 pictures on topic, and a brief written description of the significance of your city-state.
Other Notes:
Research: You can use your textbook, library books, and the internet if you like. If you are having trouble finding material, see me and I will be glad to help you.
What you have to have: Each project has a written portion, visual portion, and presentation portion. See the descriptions above for any questions about these.
Can I do more than one? It’s best for you if you only do one. If you begin one and want to change it to another (Portrait of a City-State to Daily Life Presentation), clear it with me first.
Do not wait until the last minute to complete this project. Start now. Be thinking about it when we are talking about Greece in class. Ask questions along the way. You are a creative class – Let it show! Be creative! Have fun!
