The Settlement of Greece

1. The Settlement of Greece • Get your spiral and fill out your planner • Warm-Up on page 2: Be prepared to share • If you could start your adult life anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? 1 sentence for the place 1 sentence for your reason why

2. Objectives • Identify key natural features of ancient Greece • Describe the connections between geography and the development of Greek city-states • Explain how rivalries between city-states led to wars • Describe the patterns of trade and commerce among city-states

3. Phase 1: Settling in a Harsh Environment • Each group is a tribe looking for the best site to settle in Ancient Greece • You may not settle on mountains • You may not settle in the water • You may not settle in an area that is too close to another tribe • Discuss where your group would like to settle, and then you may settle when it’s your turn • Claim land by placing your paper down on the ground • Your second, third, fourth, etc papers must be touching another one with your number on it • All disagreements over land must be settled with a ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS battle (one round only)

4. Processing – Use page 4 of your spiral • Why did your group settle where it did? • What were the benefits of your decision? • What were the drawbacks of your decision? • How do you think the ancient Greeks settled disputes?

5. Phase 2: Surviving the harsh environment • You will now discover ways for your settlements to survive. • The groups that settled the least amount of land must send one member away to establish a new settlement elsewhere • Groups 3, 4, and 5 had only 20 land papers (1 and 2 had 30) • You couldn’t take care of your group, so they had to leave • Those who leave can go to either Italy, the Black Sea, Asia Minor, or North Africa • These are the colonies that Greece established

14. Procedures for Trading • Nonfarming settlements (teams 3, 4, 5, 6) are allowed to trade with the colonies you’ve established • You had to trade for the food you needed • You may not trade with the farming settlements – you didn’t get along with them, and didn’t want a disagreement to turn to war • Farming settlements are also allowed to trade with the colonies • You didn’t have to trade, but you were interested in luxury item • You may not trade with the nonfarming settlements – you didn’t get along with them, and didn’t want a disagreement to turn to war • Colonies will be visited by everyone, and can trade with anyone you’d like • You can only trade surplus items (those with a “2” next to it) • You can trade for both food and luxury items • You must be back in your settlement in 5 minutes or less
