Suppose you and some friends wanted to go to the movies, but you could not decide which movie to see. Some of you might want to see the latest action thriller, while others are more in the mood to see a comedy. How could you decide which movie you would go see? One way to decide would be to take a vote. Whichever movie got more votes would be the one you saw.
Did you know that by voting you would be taking part in the process invented some 2,5o0 years ago? It is true. One of the earliest peoples to use voting to make major decisions was the ancient Greeks. Voting was only one of the many contributions the Greeks made to our culture, though. In fact, many people call ancient Greek the birthplace of modern civilization.
What would life be like if no one ever ventured beyond their neighborhood? What would we know about the world we live in? Well…probably very little! But we don’t have to worry about that, because exploration has played a major role in learning about our Earth for centuries. Now it is your turn to go exploring. You will embark on a cyber journey into Ancient Greece. You will explore this ‘modern civilization’ to understand how Greece has affected the world you live in. You will take on different roles that will ask you to journey through Ancient Greece and find out important information. You will come away with the knowledge that Ancient Greece has changed or affected your world in some way.
Good luck and have fun!
