166 The Ancient Greek Civilization | Domain Review
Venn Diagram
Materials: Instructional Master DR-1
Tell students that you are going to use a Venn diagram to compare
and contrast some of the things they have learned thus far about
the ancient Greeks. Remind them that to compare is to tell how
people or objects are similar and to contrast is to tell how people
or objects are different.
Write the following list on chart paper, a chalkboard, or a
whiteboard. Have students choose something from the list to
compare and contrast. If they choose the philosophers, you
may wish to have them either compare and contrast two of the
philosophers, or create a three-circle Venn diagram to compare
and contrast all three philosophers.- the Battle of Marathon and the Battle of Thermopylae.
- Pheidippides and an Olympian runner
- the philosophers of ancient Greece: Socrates, Plato, and
Aristotle - Persian kings Darius and Xerxes
- Pericles and Alexander the Great
- the area of ancient Greece and the area Alexander the Great
conquered
➶ Above and Beyond: You may wish to have students complete
Instructional Master DR-1 on their own.
