Going Greek: History Simulation

"Going Greek"

Students are participating a whole grade simulation in which they are place in different Greek city-states. During our "Going Greek" phase, students selected a Greek name, learned about their polis by creating their own city-state banner, and explored Greek gods and goddess. Throughout the simulation, they will be presented with challenges where they can earn points. The city-state with the most points at the end is crowned the winner.
