There are eight research sections and a final travel-journal task that will take students to the internet and then bring them back to the worksheet to complete graphic organizers, comprehension questions and more.

  • Compare boys' and girls' lives in Ancient Greece using at least five points in each of the Venn diagram’s three sections.

  • Explain how geography and religion shaped daily life in Ancient Greece.

Teaching tips

  • Verify each external link before assigning, since several URLs use older goo.gl and tinyurl shortlinks that may need updating.

  • Have students complete the Venn diagram in Task 2 before a class discussion, since it requires five points in each section.

  • Use the Travel Journal wrap-up page as a quick exit ticket to see which topics need revisiting.
