This inquiry focuses on the government of Ancient Greece, specifically the creation of the Greek democracy. The questions, tasks, and sources in this inquiry asks students to consider the meaning of democracy and whose voices were heard in the original democracy and whose were not. Through analysis of videos, photographs of ancient artifacts, political cartoons and graphs students develop an argument supported by evidence that answers the compelling question, “Was Greek democracy a success?”

This assignment is a review fo the Greece unit.  It allows students to use their notes for an in depth review of the materials taugh in the unit of Ancient Greece.  It could also be used as an alternative assessment.
