CitizenWhat comes to mind when you hear this term?(Turn and talk)

Citizen- A person who legally belongs to a country and has the rights and protection of that country

Polis-Greek City-States.

Recall from the unit on Mesopotamia what city-states were. (Turn and talk)

Because Mountains and Sea divided Greece, people became very loyal to their city-sates, and each functioned as their own independent country.

Acropolis- refuge for when they are under attack,

Agora- Open area or marketplace where people could debate issues, choose officials, pass laws, and carry out business; City Neighborhoods surrounded the Agora
