Further comments
The cards and suggested activities give the students a broad understanding and a fuller picture of ancient Greece and the ancient Greeks, from their everyday life to war and religion.
The cards offer brief information about the various themes and are adapted for young students.
The students are encouraged to discover more facts about the Greeks, in the hope that these cards and the theme of ancient Greece will trigger their curiosity. Self-research is therefore as important as in class study.
The suggested activities include finding more facts, use the cards as part of reading activities, vocabulary exercises.
