History:
Can I describe
similarities and differences from the past and give reasons for some of
these, using the sources to make inferences?
1. Have a think about what school is like in the
2000s in England (if you can remember!). Who goes to school? What music do we do? What equipment do we
have? How are children treated?
2.
Now have a look at the information about school in Ancient Greek times. Make
lists of things that are the same and things that are different.
3.
choose some of these pictures to focus on. You could print them and cut out
the ones you are using or just look at them and write about them. Answer
these questions about each of the pictures you have chosen:
1.
Say what is
happening in this picture.
2.
How is this image
different to what would happen in a modern school?
3.
What else does this
tell you about the Ancient Greeks?
