We will watch a video today introducing the gods that lived on Mt. Olympus.  As you watch, pick one of them that is most like you.  Would you be most like the goddess of love and beauty?  Or how about the god of war?  Write about that (and a reason why) in your TAJ.

What do you think caused the collapse of the Ancient Greek civilizations that started the Dark Ages?  Was it famine or war, or maybe an earthquake?  Or could it have been something else?  Write down your ideas in complete sentences in your TAJ.

Welcome to Ancient Greece!

I hope you're excited to learn about Ancient Greece!  


Yesterday, we talked about two things that are crucial to a civilization's success.  These are the things that transformed us, in the beginning, from armpit-scratching cavemen to civilized communities.  What are those two things?  Write about them in your TAJ.
