Ancient Civilizations Project



Maggie's class has been studying ancient civilizations and had a presentation at school last month.  Maggie's group was Ancient Greece.  Maggie was a slave and really 'played' her part. When she got up to speak she was totally in character, she was submissive and scared, she really committed!  They each had to talk about what it was like to be that person at that time, what they ate, what their homes were like, what they wore, etc.  It was in the community room in the evening and all the parents came.  Each group also served food from their region.  Maggie and I made stuffed grape leaves and we bought some baklava.  The evening was really nice.  Well done, Maggie.
