Happy June Everyone!

There is so much Ancient Greece culture and so many contributions to our world today that we have not been able to explore during our distance learning...
so now it's time for you to choose a topic that most interests you and dive in!

The last two weeks of this year will be combined into one project, where you will do some research and put together a presentation (there are different options) to display your learning.

Everything you'll need for the project is here on this website I've created! Take a look!!!

Gifts from the Greeks Research Project

I will be hosting an open zoom on Wednesday at noon (12 o'clock) for any questions, clarifications, or research help!!!
Check back here or on class dojo for the link & password.

Due this week: Your choice of topic, a list of the sources you'll be using for your research and a minimum of a half page of notes (can be typed or written, but should not be huge font/doubled space/ etc. you will need these notes to support your project!) to start your research.
You can upload to Unified Classroom "Gifts from the Greeks Notes' or email to me ( mandervillet@springfieldpublicschools.com ).

Have fun, and email me with any questions!

***UPDATE: Although I had this final project planned as an important close to our online unit on Ancient Greece (and it still can be) I would like to offer an alternate option.

Why Did TikTok Users Change Their Profile Photo To A Black Fist ...In light of recent events and the ever present need for racial and social justice in our country, you may wish to complete an alternative assignment.
If, instead of researching an aspect of Ancient Greece, you would like you research either a civil rights/social justice group or organization or a particular moment (protest, tragedy, or any other) in the recent past, I would like you to do so.
This assignment should look similar to what the Greece research assignment would have been, in that it should consist of factual research to inform yourself and others of the cause or event you choose. 
I will work on putting out some sources and a more defined assignment so this option won't require you to do 'more work' than the Greece assignment, but I will also leave it a bit more open ended to allow you to pick your own focus, explore, and dive in.
