    Activity Overview


    Researching real people and events helps students to gain a more concrete understanding of the culture, lives and diverse perspectives of people who lived in ancient times. Giving students the perspective of those who lived during a time period helps them go beyond simply memorizing dates and names to acquire a more substantial, empathetic and realistic view of the period. In this activity, students will create a biography poster about a famous or significant figure or event in ancient Greece.

    Teachers can assign students a specific person or an event or they may give students a choice. Teachers may wish to provide resources such as books or an online encyclopedia for students to read about their person or event.
