3 6.2.8.A.3.b Compare and contrast the rights and responsibilities of free men, women, slaves and foreigners in the political, economic, and social structures of classical civilizations. 9: Model integrity, ethical leadership & effective management Students may not be aware that in the democracy of Athens, women were not given the rights of citizens. Women in Athens were not allowed to own land or participate in government. They were placed under the controlled protection of guardians and given little freedom. In Sparta, women could own property and venture out into public alone. What is democracy? How were women, men and slaves treated differently in an Athenian Democracy? Students will understand the term Democracy. Students will understand that women, men and slaves had different rights under the democracy of Greece and therefore, were not all seen as free A.3.c Determine the foundational concepts and principles of Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic that later influenced the development of the 7: Employ valid & reliable research strategies. Students may not fully understand the differences between Athenian democracy and the democracy of the United States. Citizens did not choose representatives to speak for them, as we do today by holding elections and selecting individuals to represent us in various government roles.

4 United State Constitution. themselves. Elections took place by lottery. Students will understand similarities between modern US and Ancient Greek democracy A.3.d Compare the status (i.e., political, economic, and social) of groups in the Ancient World to those of people today and evaluate how individuals perceived the principles of liberty and equality then and now. 1: Act as a responsible & contributing citizen & employee Students may not understand the differences between an Athenian citizen and a citizen of the United States. In Athens, what it meant to be a citizen carried many restrictions. Similar to today, a citizen was someone who could vote; however, in Athens, women could not be citizens nor could individuals who were not the offspring of two Athenian citizens. How did Greece s democratic values inspire the US Constitution? Students will understand how some of the policies adopted in our Constitution derive from Ancient Greek democracy. Students will understand differences and similarities between Ancient Greek and modern US democracy.

5 6.2.8.A.3.e Compare and contrast the American legal system with the legal systems of classical civilizations, and determine the extent to which these early systems influenced our current legal system. 2:Apply appropriate academic & technical skills Students may believe that the word tyranny had the same connotation in ancient Greece as it does today. However, tyrannies in ancient Greece were not necessarily negative forms of government. Some tyrannies were beneficial and improved the lives of citizens How did Greece s legal system inspire our current legal system? What were the different forms of government developed in Greece: oligarchy, democracy, tyranny. How were they similar/different?

It is true that the early civilizations of Mesopotamia, India, China, and Egypt developed in river valleys. However, the ancient Greek civilizations were spread out across a large number of islands and peninsulas that were often mountainous. This unusual geographic location had both advantages and disadvantages for the Greeks, although they generally were skilled at adapting to their How did geography affect Greece s development?

6 environment. culture and belief systems B.3.b Explain how geography and the availability of natural resources led to both the development of Greek city-states and to their decline. 3:Attend to personal health & financial well-being. Students may be unaware that ancient Greece was not a single, unified nation or government. The people known as the ancient Greeks were actually a loosely related group of individuals who formed small communities and settled on different islands. Due to the mountainous boundaries that separated the groups from one another, these communities developed more or less independently of one another and eventually formed self-governing city-states. Historians believe that more than 1,500 ancient Greek city-states existed, and many of them How did the reliance on sea trade/travel affect the Greeks? Students will understand that the Greeks relied on the Mediterranean Sea for many natural resources. There were pros and cons of living so close to a sea.

7 had their own ideas about customs, laws, and diplomacy. Few of the city-states were completely alike, and some even became bitter rivals with one another C.3.a Analyze the impact of expanding land and sea trade routes as well as a uniform system of exchange in the Mediterranean World and Asia. 4:Comm unicate clearly & effectively and with reason. Students may not understand that without an established exchange rate for currency & goods it was difficult to trade between civilizations. How did Alexander the Great influence the spread of Greek culture into Asia? Students will understand that as Greek culture spread into Asia and Africa, a more unified Greek empire appeared.

8 6.2.8.D.3.a Compare and contrast social hierarchies in classical civilizations as they relate to power, wealth, and equality. 11: Use technology to enhance productivity. Students may not understand that ancient Greece was actually comprised of several small independent cultures with their own governmental system & social hierarchy. How did Athenian culture contrast with Spartan? Students will understand that women, men and slaves were treated differently in different city-states.

9 6.2.8.D.3.c Evaluate the importance and enduring legacy of the major achievements of Greece, Rome, India, China over time. 11: Plan education and career paths aligned to personal goals. Students might think that the empire formed by Alexander the Great lasted for a long time. However, his empire lasted only a few years after his death. Even so, his conquests had an enormous cultural impact. What is the impact of Greek achievements on art, philosophy, and culture on Modern America? Students will understand that the Greeks influenced America through art, culture and politics? D.3.e Determine the extent to which religion, economic, issues, and conflict shaped the values and decisions of the classical civilizations. 5: Consider the environment al, social, and economic impacts of decisions. Students may not be aware that the ancient civilizations faced similar political challenges as those of today s societies. How did Athenian culture contrast with Spartan culture?
