Ancient Greece Activities and Lessons

Engage and teach students critical information about the Ancient Greeks! I love to use this unit before I introduce any Greek material, especially in literature, but it could easily be used in a social studies or ELA classroom. My students are always fascinated by the ways that the ancient Greeks continue to influence our lives and culture even in today's society. I enjoy using these reading passage and questions as a station rotation activity, but any of these could be stand alone lessons, individual reading, homework, and more!
