Greek Achievement/Greek Connections Poster Project
Instead of a Social Studies test on Chapter 11 you are to create a poster regarding the following:
* An achievement the Greeks have contributed to our society or
* Explain a Greek connection that is found in our modern world
You cannot use Nike or the marathon because these examples were used in class.
An achievement is something the Greeks invented or created that is used in our society today. Examples of achievements are: Greek columns, democracy, pottery, philosophy, Socratic Method, scientific method, Greek origin words, etc. You can find many more examples in Ch. 11 of our textbook or ask your teacher for assistance.
A connection is a Greek idea that is found in today’s society. Here is an example of what can be written about Nike:
Did you know that the Nike Corporation was probably named after a Greek mythological character, called Nike? Athena was the goddess of war and had a companion called Nike. Nike was the spirit of victory and was always at Athena’s side to help her be victorious in battle. Nike is a good name for the company because it symbolizes a great success for the company or people who wear their products.
