Students will have prior knowledge on the key figures of ancient Greece and the achievements of ancient Greece. Students will be gathering and applying their knowledge in this lesson, by choosing one component of ancient Greece (leader OR accomplishment) and work with small groups to compose an argument to why this had the most impact on future civilizations. Before students choose which item they think is the most impactful, the teacher will have a class discussion about what the question is specifically asking them to look for, that way all students are clear when they make their decision. The teacher will provide a check list to students to use that will highlight key factors to analyze as they debate why their choice is the best. Students will compete in a “March Madness Tournament” where they will go head to head with another achievement and have to prove why theirs was the most impactful. The class will vote on which of each bracket is the winner, and the winner will move onto the next round. At the end of the activity, the class will have found their “winner” for which achievement that they think was the most impactful to future societies.
