Now that you have experienced your short time in Ancient Greece, it is time for you to turn out some proof of you being there by creating a journal!

First,

Write no less than a 1-page journal entry on what you learned.  This should include information about both of the governments of Athens and Sparta.

Some hints to forming a satisfactory entry include:

• What are some characteristics of the ancient government of Sparta?
• What are some characteristics of the ancient government of  Athens?
• What role did the people play in each of these two governments?
• What were some advantages and disadvantages of each of the governments?
• What are some similarities and differences between the two governments (at least 3 of each)?

Second,

Your next journal entry, which should again be no less than a 1-page entry, should include general information about the lives of the Greeks during that period.

Some key ideas you should look for include:

• General concepts about Greek mythology. You should include identifying and describing 3 mythological figures.
• Cultural aspects: clothing, food, traditions, education, roles of women, men, and children are just a few examples of possible things to write about!

Third,

In addition to having your journal as a remembrance of your time in Ancient Greece, you also have the opportunity of bringing back a souvenir! You have been exposed to what is a tessellation and seen several examples that we encounter everyday. Now... it is your turn to tessellate.

Your task is to create a tessellation pattern, that will demonstrate that you know the properties that make up a tessellation.

• Your first pattern requires a tessellation of 1 polygon
• In your journal, you are to write what makes up a tessellation and write a sentence or 2 on how the Greeks contributed to Geometry.
• If time permits, click on the extension activity and create your own unique tessellation pattern.
  

Finally,
 
Your journal entries need to be hand-written, contain organized and clear writing, have correct grammar and spelling, and most importantly, reflect your accurate understanding of Ancient Greeks! To view the criteria that you are espected to meet, click on the evaluation link below.
