Today you will write your plays, copy your lines down onto a little cue-card, and practice them.  We will start presenting on Wednesday.

Get in your groups and get to work! :)

Solar Eruptions

Take out your Cornell notes from yesterday, the ones on Ancient Greek Daily Life, and write your summary.  The summary, at the bottom of the notes, should tell all the most important things and ideas that you learned.

Which would you rather do, prepare and present a Greek play in a group, or work by yourself on a research project?  Write down your answer and be prepared to vote on it, ancient Greece democracy style! :)

You Write the Test

What information do you think should be on the test?  What would you feel confident being tested on?  It could be vocab words, certain topics we discussed, whatever.  Write down 10 things.

Creative Ways to Present Information

-News broadcast               -Skit
-Poster with pictures         -Interview
-Rap                                  -Poetry
-Interpretive dance with narrator.
-Puppet show

Whichever style you choose, everyone MUST participate equally.  You'll be given points individually, and then points for how well you do as a group.

Come draw a slip of paper randomly from the pile at the front of the room, and then sit silently at your desk. We're going to play a game. :)
