Greece and Persia

This week, the 6th graders are learning about Persia and its role in Greek history.  Students learned about the powerful Persian army and their leaders.  Then, they read and taught one another about the battles during the Persian War in an activity called a jigsaw.  Each student learned about one battle (one piece of the puzzle) and then they shared with others until the pieces formed the whole picture of the Persian War.  Next week, we will compare and contrast the city-states of Athens and Sparta.

Questions to ask your 6th grader:
-What made Cyrus the Great so great?
-What was the outcome of the Persian War?
