Completed Ancient Greece Vocabulary Sample
Extension Activity: In addition to defining the terms in their own
words and adding an image, I often have students use an open
portion of their notebook page to write a short story using as
many of the vocab terms as they can. We’ll then share these in
class (which are often amusing) and see how many they could get.

Comparing the City-States of Athens and Sparta
Directions: Contrasting philosophies of government divided the Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta. Cut
along the dotted lines and place glue behind the sides so that the top & bottom of the Venn diagram can be
folded up and down. Then, explain the important characteristics of each city-state and some that apply to
both. Finally, draw a picture on the top of each to symbolize that Greek polis.
Directions: The Greeks united to battle the Persian empire in order to preserve their political independence. Cut
out the graphic organizer and glue only under the top, middle, & bottom so the flaps can lift up. Then, draw an
image to represent each key battle on the top and take notes on the significance of each battle on your notebook
page below the flap. At the bottom of your page, explain the effects of the war on Greece.
Additional Task: I have
my students research
these battles in groups in
class and then present
them. They create large
pictures on butcher paper
which we paste to the
board along a timeline.
Students can then use
these to help with their
drawings and take notes
on what they learn.
