Year 6 Homework GREEK HOMEWORK PROJECT
Hand in date: Tuesday 9th January
New year Spellings
Over the Christmas holidays, you are to complete a research project on Ancient Greece. Given that this is a two-week project, we expect a real effort in the research and presentation of your work. We would prefer to this to be in the form of a A2/3 poster that can be produced using ICT if required. However, please make sure the work is in your own words and NOT copied and pasted from the internet! The areas that can be researched include the following:
- Who were the Greeks? What is their legacy?
- Warfare/conflicts – Battle of Marathon, Peloponnesian War
- Gods and Goddesses – which gods/goddesses were believed in? What did they stand for? How did religion work within Ancient Greece?
- Athens/Sparta – where and what were these two Greek city-states? Similarities and differences?
- Ancient Olympics – what was this? What was included? What events and who was allowed to take part?
