Ancient Greek Architecture

Today we watched a short video on Greek Architecture (standard 6.4.8) and took notes into our Ancient Civilization power point.

Then we read a few pages in the social studies text to reinforce the concepts, ideas and images from the video and added to the notes.

Next students researched images of buildings from Ancient Greece and went to googlesketchup and designed a replica of one of the famous structures. Finally students downloaded the image into the PowerPoint with a brief description of what they created and why.

The next step (and the next day) had students researching a famous Ancient Greek building and making a model of it using construction paper, sissors and tape. Then students took a picture of it and uploaded the picture into their power point with a description of what they made and why.

Great job Champion Students!
