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.  ​
