Introduction
|
Greeks were always celebrating special days on their
calendars. In many ways, the "festive" days were
very similar to out holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yet the Greeks were less solemn as they celebrate. They
included contests of all kinds: reading poetry, performing dances,
playing the lyre, even acting in plays. Like the ancient
Greeks, you too will have your Festival Day in class. Weeks
from now, at the end of the simulation, all of you will present a
project that you've worked on for several days. The idea is to
have each Hellene show that he or she has researched some aspect of
ancient Greek life and culture.
