Ancient Greece


We've spent a few days creating a newspaper from ancient Greece. I'll post the whole thing when it's finished, but so far we have some great stuff: Achilles' Obituary, a few want ads, a sports section all about the Olympics, and a theater review of Oedipus Rex! And of course, each story has a picture to go with it. Nate did this comic page. I can't wait to see the whole newspaper when it's complete, the boys have really done a super job!

Today we also started some weaving on a simple cardboard loom. It's not exactly authentic ancient Greek, but it's been fun to try. I probably should have done a much smaller one for Brandon, but Nate will probably finish his in the next few days. Once again, pictures will come when the project is finished.

The boys also each did a one-page report about one of the Greek Gods. Nathan chose Hermes
and Brandon did Zeus. Brandon's has more information under the green flap with the picture of Zeus.
