Ancient Greece Glog! You will be creating something called a glog using a website called Glogster.com. A glog is a multimedia online poster. Simply put, it is a tool that you can use to create a poster with pictures, video, sound, and other graphics included. This won't be your average, ordinary poster.

General Directions: Your assignment is to create a Glog that informs me of some aspect of ancient Greek culture that you find interesting. I want you to begin by scanning pp. 159-179 in your textbook. On some lined paper, write these three questions:
 * 1) How did Greek society rise and spread?
 * 2) What are the important aspects of Greek religion, literature, and daily life?
 * 3) Why were Athens and Sparta in conflict?

After you spend 15 minutes scanning and reading sections of your textbook, choose a topic that really grabbed your attention, and that is what will be the subject of your glog. After deciding on your topic, you may continue with the assignment below by setting up a Glogster account.

First, set up a Glogster account:
 * 1) Click on this link: Create a Glogster Account
 * 2)  Enter this code: ** 7H9B5U ** in the space labeled "Educator/school code." This will allow me to see what you guys are working on.
 * 3) Continue through the rest of the registration process. You have my permission to check the box where it is asking for verification that you are 13 or older.
 * 4) Once your account is set up and you are logged in, click on "Create Your First Glog" under the "Glogs" tab, and begin experimenting and working on your project.

Here are links for you to use to find material to include on your Glog:
 * 1) Your textbook - pp. 159-179
 * 2) Mr. Donn: Ancient Greece - Many different topics.
 * 3) The British Museum: Ancient Greece - Topics include: the Acropolis, Athens, Daily Life, Festivals/Games, Geography, Gods/Goddesses, Knowledge/Learning, Sparta, Time, War
