Ancient Greece...

This week we learned about Greek Mythology, and the start of Citizenship and Democracy. Activities included students reading and choosing an Aesop fable that they illustrated into their own words  in comic book form including figurative language. After they created their comic strip, they shared with the class and uploaded a picture of it into their Ancient Civilization PowerPoint.

Here is the website they choose the fables from:

We also read about the beginings of democracy and citizienship as well as watched a short video on it. Studnets then took their new knowledge and made an Acrostic Poem usign the word "Citizenship". Students shared their poems with the class and uploaded it into the PowerPoint as well.
