WestCiv Day 4 - Ancient Greece, the Roman Republic, & Themes of History

Objectives:  Identify the Greco-Roman origins of Western civilization.

Task:  As you enter class, please pick up "Excerpts of Bush's Speech" on the computer cart.  Read through this document and then create a Venn diagram comparing Bush's speech to the "Funeral Oration of Pericles."  After we've finished our comparison, we'll wrap up the notes on Ancient Greece and play a game identifying the different types of history that we'll be studying in Western Civ.   Finally, if time allows, we'll begin our examination of the Roman Republic with a video and note sheet.
