Wednesday
Students today viewed most of a video clip in class hosted by Arizona Smith. The clip was accompanied by a graphic organizer to help students organize notes on Greece. We introduced tomorrow and Friday's activity where students will visit various stations representing Greek life. This will be a fun learning experience where they will have to use their imagination to place them in Ancient Greece. There is a pushed video tonight. It is part 2 of 3 parts and is titled Battle of Thermopylae. There is no assignment attached to this video. Students should read the "Daily Blog" on Edmodo and view the approximate 7:15, in length, video. If students have any trouble bringing up the video, they can always search YouTube for the same title. That is where the video lives.
