Alexander the Great??

Hello! Today we worked our way into our final topic in ancient Greece, Alexander the Great. Over the next few days, students will be presented with information about things that he did and will need to determine for themselves whether or not he was really "Great". They will then write an essay using supporting facts to express their opinion. So today, students were given a graphic organizer to keep track of his events and the character traits those exhibit. Students completed and discussed the preview page 193 in their interactive notebook to brainstorm a list of traits that might be considered great.
Homework:  None for today:)
