The Four Governments of Ancient Greece



The Four Governments of Ancient Greece

Aim: What were the different characteristics of ancient Greece’s four governments?

Objective: Students will be able to compile all of the information they learned on the four governments (Monarchy, Oligarchy, Tyranny, Democracy). This chart will serve as a useful resource guide.

Do Now: If we had a class government, how would you want it to be? Who should be in charge? Should it stay the same it is now? What changes would you make? How should students be treated – equally or different? Explain your answer.

Context Clues:

The students decided to make their school a democracy, so they elected a class President by voting for someone of their choice.

1) Write your own definitions of democracy and elected.

2) Write your own sentences using the words democracy and elected.

Procedure:

• Students will use their work from before the break to complete the chart, which will act as an easy reference guide to the four different governments of ancient Greece.

• Students will work independently, and must rely on the notes that they took.

• Once all students have completed the chart, the class will discuss the answers together.

Bell Work

If we had a class government, how would you want it to be? Who should be in charge? Should it stay the same it is now? What changes would you make? How should students be treated – equally or different? Explain your answer. As always, full sentences=full credit.

The Four Governments of Ancient Greece

Directions: For this activity you and your group-members will do an active reading that deals with one of the four types of government in Ancient Greece. Each group will complete their column that is on the back of this page. Once you have completed the column & active read your group will create a poster about your type of government. Your poster needs to contain the information that you wrote into your chart on the back of this page along with a large picture that illustrates your type of government. Keep in mind that these will be hung around the room so make them look good! Simply copying down the information from the chart to your poster is not acceptable- you should display the information in a way that is visually appealing. Use colors, cartoons etc... to make your poster look as good as possible. The steps for this project are listed below; check them off as you go.
