From the author
This resource is an Ancient Greece WebQuest.

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.
Answer key included.

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.
