Project #3: Flickr activity on ancient Greece

For my third project, I chose to do a Flickr activity. The activity is intended to be an introduction to a unit on ancient Greece. Students see several images of pottery, architecture, and sculpture before beginning their studies. They are asked to examine the images with the goal of forming hypotheses about ancient Greek culture and daily life. As the unit progresses, students will supposedly refer back to this activity to confirm or challenge their original hypotheses. Below, I've listed the SOL covered. The current setting requires an invitation to view the activity, so please let me know (es7ft@virginia.edu) if you would like to be sent a link to see the project.

SOL 3.1: The student will explain how the contributions of ancient Greece and Rome have influenced the present world in terms of architecture, government (direct and representative democracy), and sports.
