Today we are comparing Athens vs Sparta: two fundamentally different city-states in Ancient Greece. Students are reading the pages indicated on the assignment (linked below). Students can find a scan of ch. 7 of the textbook on the assignment posted on Teams.
The Grade 7s and 8s are doing a common assignment this week. Part B of the assignment will be from the Grade 8 textbook as shown below. This takes our probability one step further.
Earlier this week we were studying the story of Odysseus. Today we are watching a documentary that deconstructs this famous historical tale. See the links below.
Below is the original lesson for this using pencil, paper, and geometry tools (feel free if you have those to do this the original way. If you don’t have a geometry set I have made another video (below) that shows how to use this handy online tool to complete your assignment. Note: I have not tested this on an iphone etc. I anticipate it may not work on them. However, a quick search on the app story reveals MANY options for apps you can use to do this, then take screen shots for you to use. Or, you could try installing a browser that uses flash such as flashfox and then the link below should work for you even on an apple device.
Here is the link for a great hands on tool to do geometry on a pc or device. It is the website I used to make the video lesson below.
