1. Highlight main ideas-ONLY the most important (think Sports Center)

2. Underline new vocab and define in margins-First try to use context clues-If that doesn’t work, look it up!

3. Mark up the text as if you’re talking to it!!- Interesting information?-Ask all types of questions (Who, Why, What, Where, I wonder if…)*- Make Connections (to yourself, to the world, to other text)

Bell WorkIf 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 GreeceDirections: 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.

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.
