You must also, at the least, show me what will be the 3 areas you will feature in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th paragraph and what details you will use to support what you are saying. Some of you may have to do a bit of reading and/or research to make sure you have enough information to support your comments in the 3 middle paragraphs. The writing of the middle 3 paragraphs is not required over the weekend but many of you already got a start on them in class.

Remember how important your sentence variety and fluency is and how much I want to see you use your advanced vocabulary in this piece.

__Friday & Weekend__

 * Ancient Greece- General Instructions and Information-** This week was devoted to the introduction of the study of Ancient Greece. The majority of this study will be using the whole class simulation //GREEKS.// Through a variety of activities that focus on the legacy of ancient Greece-its history, philosophy, religion, science, math, language, art, architecture, theater, and other cultural achievements- this unit expores what it was like to be Greek citizens in the fifth century and how their achievements have affected today's Western and Eastern societies.

Students have been placed into 4 //polis// groups (city-states) and have been spending time this week working to create an exciting banner for their polis which will hang over their work area for the duration of the simulation. The banner should have the name of the polis, a quote or motto and some sort of symbol or drawing. The second component will be for the members of the polis to teach the rest of the class about their polis. This can take many forms but should include information on the geographic location of their city-state, important historical data, possibly famous people or creations by the people of Athens, Sparta, Corinth or Argos. To immerse students into their role as citizens they might make up a chant/cheer, learn to spell their Greek names with the Greek alphabet, find Greek music and so on.

CITIZENS OF ALL GREEK POLEIS- Be careful not to get too absorbed on working to do extra credit work in a quest to earn //Polis points// so that you forget to complete the requirements for Humanities and other subjects. However, I am excited to see the many creative pieces that many of you have come up with. Great thinking outside the box!

Early in the week students brought home material to read entitled //WHY STUDY ANCIENT GREECE?// and //CLOTHING OF THE ANCIENT GREEKS//. Both of these have a great deal of important information as this simulation gets going. If it is possible to create a Greek //chiton// you will be able to dress as Greeks with the rest of your polis group.

=**Greek Weekend Homework**= - Parent Letter Show information about Greek clothes and Why Study Ancient Greece 2 pages- //The Glory that Was Greece// and //Where in Ancient Greece?// Any work you and your group decided to complete the Banner and Teaching Presentation which are due on **Tuesday November 10** =First Reading Response for Quarter 2= - Due November 9 =__***Return all novels which were brought home during the H1N1 Preparation weeks and The Giver!**__=
