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 place1 sentence for your reason why

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

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)

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?

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

Handouts

• Examine the handouts you received• Determine whether or not your group has enough

supplies to survive• If you have anything with a “2” after it, that means

that your settlement has more than you need• Raise your hand if you feel that your group has

enough to survive• How will you get what you need in order to

survive?

Trading goals

• Colonists – finish with the most goods, and get rid of all yours

• Finish with enough food to eat – Two pieces of food per group member

• Finish with enough luxury items to bring back home– Two luxury items per group member

Winners

• Colonists – count up all things that have a ‘2’ next to it– The most goods wins

• Farmers – count up all the luxury items that have a ‘2’ next to it– The most luxury items wins

• NonFarmers – count up all the food items that have a ‘2’ next to it, plus your honey and oil– The most food wins

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
