As part of our study of Greek culture, we've been examining Greek pottery. Next week we're going to break out the clay to create our own Greek pottery (super excited about that), so this week we planned our pieces. Students could only use orange construction paper and black sharpies to create their pieces to represent the orange clay and blank ink the Ancient Greeks would use. They had to research the different shapes and uses of the pottery and write the Greek name of the type of pottery they chose.
The pictures look great on display. I also added some of the summaries the students wrote on an article about food in Ancient Greece. Next week we'll be adding our actual pottery as well as the brochures about Ancient Greece we've been working on.
