Ancient+Greece

Some ideas for covering elements of Ancient Greece in the library:

Introduce myths and mythology and talk about the 398.2 section

Help students realize that the myths were actually a form of religion, which explains why many books about mythology can be found in the 200 section.

Ancient Greece is considered the beginning of modern theatre, so why not introduce the 800's section of your collection with a focus on the drama and poetry books?

A major element of Ancient Greek theatre is the chorus. Help build your students' reading fluency by doing some choral readings.

Do a reader's theatre version of a Greek play--we did the story of Atalanta //From Atalanta to Zeus: Readers Theatre from Greek Mythology// by Suzanne I. Barchers and my third graders loved it. A few pieces of material for togas and you're ready to go!
