• Um…It’s All Greek to Me

    6th Grade Project

    Project description:

              Ah!  The amazing city-states of ancient Greece, from the war-like Spartans to the democratic thinking Athenians!!  Their myths are legendary.  Modern countries govern by their early example.  Famous buildings still display the awesome early Greek architectural designs.  So much to learn…where to start?

              Construct a well-designed project in which you adequately discuss and explain your topic to the BEST of your ability.  The entire project must fit into a 2 pocket folder (provided by me).  You can decorate the folder based on your topic if you would like.  Check with your teacher if you need ideas.

              Use a variety of resources: trade books, internet sites, etc.  Be accurate in your research.  Spelling is important.  Plan your project out and give yourself enough time to complete it!!  There will be a mid-way check in for project progress. 

              Sample topics are found below.  Please choose one and take off with your learning.
