3) Open the link Everyday life in Ancient Greece in a new tab:

http://aesop.iep.edu.gr/node/8742/2239

The opening page contains information and exercises about everyday life in Ancient Greece. The link is taken from a teaching scenario from the Aesop repository.

Do all the exercises by giving the answers on the page you are already on (http://aesop.iep.edu.gr/node/8742/2239). Send me a screenshot of your answers by mail (izafeiriou@sch.gr) or in a message on the e-class platform. 

For your convenience, I will explain here what you need to do in each exercise:

1) What’s in a pot? Everyday life in Ancient Greece.

Read the information carefully and answer the questions below by choosing the correct answer. The exercise gives you immediate feedback.

Enable Adobe Flash if prompted. Look carefully at each section (e.g. Agriculture, Children, Death and Burial, Education etc.) and click on each artifact to see more information below. Once you have read it, hit "Back" to return to the set of artifacts and choose the next artifact. Once you've seen them all go to the next section (Children, Death and Burial, Education etc.). To scroll down, scroll with the mouse on the white margin. Send me a screenshot of your answers.

2) The Ancient Greek House Challenge

Select Challenge from the menu on the left. Enable Adobe Flash when prompted.  What you see is a typical ancient Greek house. Click Next and roll over the rooms inside the house. Then click on Start and select one of the two options (e.g. A normal morning). You have to drag and drop the figures below into the right room, each one according to his or her duties. If you do it correctly you get positive feedback  (Yes…) otherwise you get a different message (Not a suitable room.) Once you've placed all the figures into the right rooms send me a screenshot.

As the activities of this lesson take enough time to complete, you will have two weeks' time for your submissions.
