So we are onto Miss Choudhary's favourite unit in Grade 6: Ancient Athens!!
We will be learning about the birthplace of democracy, Athens. There are a few main points that we will be expected to understand by the end of the unit"
1. What are the beliefs and values that shaped democracy in Athens? 2. What role did citizens play in Athenian democracy?
In this unit, we will look at the life of people in Athens, and also on how democracy was back in the day.
By the end of the unit, each student will take on a Greek identity (be that a citizen, metic or slave), mingle and discuss politics at the Grade 6 "agora" and make the ultimate democratic decision at an "Assembly"!
