Greece Project

Greece Project

Due:  Tuesday, April 22^nd

As we conclude this chapter on the ancient Greek civilization, we have come to realize that we have only touched the surface of all there is to learn about this fascinating culture.  Therefore, I want you to pick one topic from ancient Greece and research it.  Then I want you to create some sort of visual project .  It could be a model, powerpoint, video, picture, display...... whatever creative idea you have.  If you don’t want to do a visual project, I am perfectly happy to have you write a 500 word essay. 

Here are some suggestions for topics: 

People:   Pericles, Socrates, Plato, Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Augustus, Alexander the Great, Atilla, Cleopatra,

Topics:  The Minoans: Knossos, Crete, and the Minotaur, Slavery in the Ancient World ,The Phoenicians, Greek Theatre,  Democracy in Ancient Greece ,The Art and Architecture of Ancient Greece, The Original Olympics, Greek Mythology, Sparta: the warrior's life, Education, Athens
