Groner/Barringer - Ancient Greece: Topics

Students will construct a newspaper containing three articles related to Ancient Greece.

Project Checklist

  1. Title - Think of a creative newspaper title that would be appropriate with the Ancient Greek theme and type it in the Newspaper Title section.
  2. Date - Directly under the title, type in the date. (Don’t forget, we are writing this in ancient times so the date will reflect this-use BC or BCE after the year.)
  3. Articles - Choose three topics that your readers would find interesting. You will write a short newspaper article for each topic. These topics must relate to life in Ancient Greece and must be written as if you are living during those times. Some suggestions:
  • Economics - Select a topic related to the Greek Economy.
  • Politics - Choose a specific Greek leader and write about him.
  • Construction - Write about the latest update on the buildings in Greece.
  • Social Classes - Pretend you are a certain member of the Greek social class.  Write about your lifestyle or an issue that is affecting you.
  • Religion - Write an article describing one of the many gods in this polytheistic society or write about religious ceremony
  • Other - Choose any other topic you think would make an enjoyable and informative newspaper article.
  • Weather - Write a weather report that accurately describes the climate of Ancient Greece for that particular upcoming week.
