We have also begun to take a look at what citizenship is in Ancient Greece and in the United States. Discussion on Wednesday sparked a graffiti board and allowed students to express how they felt about citizenship. Thursday we spent time comparing and contrasting Athen’s and the United States. On 2.6.09 we will continue with a worksheet as classwork. This will help them organize the information discussed in previous days and give them a worksheet for the upcoming test. voting-activity.doc
