Democracy, Greece, and the World

New essential question:  How and why was democracy developed in Greece?  How did democracy change the world?

Students should be in the process of answering the above-mentioned essential question.  The first part of the question could be answered based on a reading assignment that we began today.  The second part of the question will be answered after we have a class discussion in the coming days...

Can you define the word citizen?  Feel free to post a definition (in your own words) which will hopefully lead to some discussion!

Notes:  I have decided to break this unit into two parts.  Instead of one large assessment at the end of the unit, there will be two smaller assessments.  Between the first and second parts, we will begin to work on a project involving people from ancient Greece.  Finally, keep checking for information regarding another extra credit assignment (for the third quarter).

citizen (in my own words)-a group of people who belong in an area. Most, obey the rules given to them. It's not just someone who visits, but a member of the community. i.e.: I am a citizen of laureldale, PA.
