Geography of Greece

This week in social studies, the 6th graders are beginning their unit about ancient Greece.  Today, students observed and labeled a map of Europe and made predictions about how the geography of ancient Greece might affect the lives of the people who lived there.  Throughout the unit, they will find out if their predictions were correct.  Later in the week, students will learn about the Minoans and Mycenaeans, the first two civilizations in Greece.

Each week, I will be posting some questions that the students have been discussing during class.  Feel free to use them as dinner table conversation starters.

Questions for your 6th grader:

  • What is the geography of Greece like?
  • How might the geography of Greece shape the lives of the people who live there?
 Students used Notability to annotate maps on their ipads.

Students are moving around the room in an activity to help them remember the cardinal directions.
