Living in Ancient Greece

In some ways, life in ancient Greece wasn't too much different from life in the United States today.  Caution:  I am over-simplifing things by making that statement!  That being said, there were a lot of differences. 

In this part of the unit we will look at ancient Greece through the eyes of the Athenians and the Spartans.  People from each of these city-states had different priorities.  Those priorities will become a focus for us as we learn about their cultures.  Furthermore, we will look at the ways in which said Greek culture(s) spread around the world as well as the people who helped to make that happen.

Tomorrow we will resume reviewing the vocabulary terms from sections one and two and discuss the way in which we will move through the chapter.
