Year 9
Unit 2 - Classical Greece
|
What this excellent introductory film about Athenian democracy and try to answers the questions below as you go. Good luck. |
|
To conclude, watch this rather more complex explanation of Athenian democracy. As a result of our recent lessons hopefully some or even most of what Dr Bettany Hughes says will make sense! |
Activities
1. Explain the meaning of the following words in the context of classical Athens: democracy, assembly, quorum, ostracise, council, lot. These words are all in bold in the text and many were also explained in the films. 2. After first discussing in groups, fill in a table of similarities and differences between ancient Greek and modern democracy. |
