Explore Ancient Greece at the British Museum

Welcome to Ancient Greece. Due to budget cuts, we will not be able to go on a real field trip for social studies. However, even though we won't actually get to go to a museum, the Internet provides us with a solution. Let's take a little virtual trip to the British Museum. While we are there, lets see what we can discover about ancient Greece. This week, we will be talking about geography, city-states and government. Towards the end of this week and into next, we will delve into Greek Mythology, one of my favorite topics of the school year. As we work diligently in class to learn about this ancient world, you will be working on your own at the British Museum to make discoveries of your own.
The picture above is the Parthenon, a temple built in Athens to honor the goddess Athena. What other interesting things are in store for this ancient world?

Using the British Museum website, browse around the site and post 5 things you learned from the site. You may only use the British Museum website.

Task: Use the British Museum website to post a comment with 5 things you learned about ancient Greece. You must use complete sentences.

Points: 25 (5 points for each complete sentence)

DUE Date: Friday, February 10th, 2012. 5:00 p.m.
