Begin the Legacies of Ancient Greece

Hello! Today we began the next chapter, chapter 31 on the Legacies of Ancient Greece. Students discovered the definition of the word legacy and previewed the chapter with their partner. Then the focus turned to vocabulary. Students gave each of the 8 people (there are a total of 10 vocabulary words) a designated color. They then used their alpha blocks handout to write in the names in the designated color. As students read with their partner, they filled in related words in the same color. Students did not get far in the process and we will continue this on Monday. Our assessment for chapter 31 will be an essay. Students can begin studying by really knowing the legacies from each category in the chapter. Creating a study stack on the vocabulary words would help as well.
