Unit VI: OF GOVERNMENTS AND MEN: ANCIENT GREECE
Following the completion of the NHD projects, students will continue their study of ancient civilizations by learning about Ancient Greece. Students will explore the concept of citizenship by completing the inquiry arc question – How should people treat their government? Students will identify how geography led to the emergence of city-states and then as part of the Greek Government Cornerstone they will compare the different conceptions of citizenship in the different governments of the city-states of Ancient Greece. Students will understand Alexander the Great’s achievements and assess his actions. Students will generate a position on Alexander’s greatness and defend that position orally. Finally, student will apply their understanding of citizenship by creating a visual representation of three societies within Ancient Greece, as well as their own civilization.
