11 Unit Topic: Ancient Greece Introductory Lessons Essential Questions: What are the enduring legacies of Ancient Greece? What words and strategies are essential to use in order to ask questions, answer questions, and make comments pertaining to Ancient Greece? Learning Objectives: Students will be able to define key words and concepts related to Ancient Greece. Students will be able to ask and answer questions, and make comments during discussions in small group language lessons and classroom activities on the topic of Ancient Greece. IEP Benchmark Objectives: Students will be able to use active listening strategies (listening for and highlighting key words) while viewing Ancient Greece videos. Within the context of curriculum-related assignments, students will be able to use strategies (visualizing, illustrating, graphic organizers, visual aids) to understand, retrieve and express Ancient Greece vocabulary. Background or Lesson Set up: Use these preview lessons to introduce and practice using key words related to the Ancient Greece before students start learning about the topic in class.

12 Procedures: 1. Introduce Ancient Greece unit by pretesting to determine what vocabulary students already know pertaining to the topic. Using Ancient Greece flashcards cut up words and definitions and instruct students to match definitions to target words and/or ask them to generate definitions for target words. 2. Brainstorm possible words to include in an Ancient Greece word bank. 3. Provide students with word banks. Activate schema by viewing Ancient Greece videos in wiki; students listen for key words and highlight words on word bank as they hear them. 4. Using visual aids (videos in wiki, pictures and diagrams in text) discuss the meaning of each word in the glossary. 5. Create a set of flashcards (each student makes their own set) using the template in the wiki. Fold two column chart in half so that the word is on one side and the definition is on the other side. In pairs, students take turns stating words and associated definitions. 6. Students use the strategies of visualizing and illustrating to draw their own pictures on the Ancient Greece visualizing glossary table (word, definition, picture). 7. Create a wordle word bank (wordle.net). Students take turns selecting a word and asking another student to provide the definition. If needed, have definitions available so students can match definitions to target words. Students use selected words in sentences to demonstrate that they know what the word means. 8. Encourage students to use their word banks and picture glossaries during small group language lessons and classroom activities to facilitate accurate and efficient retrieval of target words. Assessment: Matching definitions to words. Definitions generated by students. Highlighted word banks. Completion of visualizing glossaries. Oral responses during discussions. Use of word banks and glossaries during discussions and classroom activities. Performance on quizzes and unit tests.

17 Unit Topic: Ancient Greece Greek Vocabulary sorted by the GREATS Essential Question: What are the enduring legacies of Ancient Greece? Learning Objectives: Students will be able to define and use words pertinent to the study of Ancient Greece. Given a chart with The GREATS and cards with vocabulary words from the Ancient Greece glossary, students will be able to categorize words into the categories of government, religion, economy, art/architecture, technology, and social structure and levels and explain how vocabulary words are related to the categories that they selected. IEP Benchmark Objectives: Within the context of curriculum-related assignments, students will be able to use strategies to understand, retrieve and express grade level vocabulary. Students will be able to explain relevant information stated in curriculum-related materials Background or Lesson Set up: Use this lesson after students have been introduced to a Key Strategies/Skills: Review the acronym GREATS that sixth grade social studies students are taught in order to learn about the characteristics of a civilization. G-Government R- Religion, E-Economy A-Art and architecture T-Technology (includes written language) S-society (includes social structure and levels) This is a review activity which is most appropriate after the words have been previewed and students have been exposed to the words in class. Materials: 1. Greek vocabulary glossary 2. Sorting mat with the GREATS 3. Vocabulary words for sorting 4. Answer key explaining possible word associations

18 Procedures: Note: Activity can be used with one student or a small group. Procedure outlined here turns the activity into a game for use as a small group. The activity can also be easily adapted to use with any social studies glossary specific to an ancient civilization. (Some vocabulary words already introduced have been added to the Greece glossary words. This activity doesn t use all words from the glossary of Ancient Greece words.) 1. Gather students around the sorting mat and review each of the GREATS. 2. Pass out vocabulary cards to each of the students as if dealing for a card game or place all of the words face-up next to the sorting mat. 3. Move around the table giving each student a turn. Students may pick one of their cards if you dealt them or pick from one of the words on the table. 4. At each student s turn, they must match the word to the appropriate category on the GREATS sorting map and define the word and explain and why it belongs in that category. 5. When all the cards are sorted, discuss the connections among the words. 6. Extensions: Play again, but challenge students to sort some of the words differently. For example, the word agora could fit with both economy and architecture. Challenge students to compare Greek vocabulary with the vocabulary of other ancient civilizations in each category of the GREATS. 7. Have students write an acrostic poem for GREECE using as many vocabulary words and connections to the GREATS as they can. Share the poems in the group. Assessment: Observations or oral responses while sorting words and during discussion following game. Sorting selections and oral explanations. Written and oral presentation of Greece poems.

19 GREATS Sorting Mat G- government R-religion: - E-economy: A-art and architecture T- technology S- social structure and levels

20 Greek word cards for sorting copy and cut before use! Most students will benefit from physically sorting the words. Colony Democracy Monarchy Assembly Agora Drama Olympics Acropolis Mount Olympus Artisan Philosophy Citizen Polytheistic City-state Oligarchy Tyranny While not officially part of the glossary, students may need to be familiar with the following terms and ideas as well: Mythology Trade Columns Sculptures Advances in Medicine Slave

21 Educator answer key: This will provide a framework regarding the connections most students will make while sorting the words. There may be times when a student sorts differently and as long as he or she can make an accurate connection, the answer should be considered correct. Encourage students to identify the most common relationship. Colony Colonies were set up for trade, generally, so economics is a good answer. Also acceptable is government, as these were set up as part of the government and sometimes administered differently. Monarchy Government is a good answer, but social Structure works as well as the ruler would represent the highest level of society. Agora Economics is the best answer as the agora was the marketplace where trade took place. Art and architecture could be defended as it was outside and within a set of stately building in the Greek style. Olympics Religion is the best answer since it is a festival to Zeus, the head of the Greek gods. It also says a lot about the value of sports and a healthy body to the Greeks, so society can be a defensible answer. The athletes also enjoyed a high social level. Mount Olympus Religion is the best answer as it is the mythological home of the gods. Since the gods would be considered the very highest part of society, it might also fit in social level although if students say this, you may want to point out that the gods weren t real. Philosophy This one could go in technology since the Greeks invented philosophy. Many philosophers also recorded their thoughts in writing, although Socrates, the one students will be most familiar with, did not. It could also fit in Social Levels as deep thinkers were usually valued. Some students may put it into government because Socrates was condemned to death partly for encouraging young people to question the government. I would allow this connection if the students are specific. This one is actually very hard! Polytheistic religion Oligarchy Could go with government or social levels as the oligarchs came from the aristocracy. Democracy Could go with government or social levels if well explained. Assembly goes best with government. Drama Drama goes best with Art and Architecture as drama was a new art form. Drama could be argued to go in technology since the Greeks invented it. The love of plays also suggests something about the society. Additionally, most drama festivals were celebrations for the gods. Acropolis Acropolis works best with religion or architecture as Greek acropoli were generally made into temple complexes for the gods. Some students might mention that the hill also allowed the government to look for invaders and argue that it belongs in government. Artisan Goes well in economy since it was a job category and items were made to sell. Also works in art and architecture as most artisans made beautiful items with distinctive Greek designs. In addition, an artisan was on a specific spot in the Greek social structure. Some students might even connect it to religion as the motifs on most artwork involved mythology. Citizen relates best to government or social structure. City-state political unit works best in government. Tyranny works best in government. Mythology works best in religion, but could also fit into art and architecture. Trade works best in economy. Some may say that trade was a specific job and part of the social structure. Columns works in art and architecture and also in technology as a building technique. Sculptures art and architecture. Also related to technology and social structure as sculptors were artisans. Advances in medicine belong in technology. Slave belongs in social level and economy. Some students might say government if they explain that many slaves were taken during wars.
