"Of all the wondrous things on earth, the greatest of these is man." Sophocles
Objectives: Identify the Greco-Roman origins of Western civilization.
Task: As you arrive in class, please get out your computer to post a short reflection on Bennett's editorial, "Western Civilization Still Cradle of Learning" as a comment on the Western Civilization blog. When everyone has finished commenting, we'll take notes on the geography and culture of Europe and Ancient Greece. Next, we'll work in small groups to analyze the "Funeral Oration of Pericles." Finally, we'll compare the "Funeral Oration" to the speech by President Bush after September 11.
