Monday, april 4, 2016Students used the Greeks Books to create a page about the Mycenaeans. They had all class period to find 7 to 8 bullet points about this early Greek civilization located on the mainland of Greece. Then, they drew pictures that supported their information and made for a colorful presentation of their people and culture.
Finishing this page will be the homework for tonight and then we'll do a page about Geography for tomorrow night's homework. |

We took notes on Chapter 11, lesson 1 all about Geography. Students worked in collaborative groups to become experts on the several areas the textbook highlighted and then they shared out the information with each other by creating a Google Slide. Student #1 defined the Vocabulary words in lesson 1 and wrote a paragraph about geography. Student #2 wrote a paragraph about LAND USE, Student #3 wrote a paragraph about TRADE, Student #4 wrote a paragraph about the Greek Alphabet, and STudent #5 wrote a paragraph about the Phoenicians.

I introduced Homer and Greek Literature around 850 B.C. and then we read about Homer in the following worksheet. I also posted a link to Edmodo to get information about the story of the Iliad. Students read that and filled out a worksheet about Homer's epic poem, the Iliad.

thursday/friday 4/7 & 4/8
Students read 2 stories to begin class. One worksheet detailed the entire story of Iliad in one page and then they went to Edmodo and read Books 9 thru 24 of the story of the Odyssey. These are very large books, so I tried to condense the story so we understood the topics that Homer covered.
After those readings, students created a page about Literature for the Greeks Book project. Students can write about anything we covered: Homer, the Iliad, the Odyssey, Aesop's Fables (in the textbook) and even the creation of the Greek Alphabet.
