7TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES
Written By: Kevin, Elijah, Tatiana, Eliziane and Brandi
In Social Studies we are studying Ancient Greece. This time period was after the Dark Age, as Greeks began to set up city-states. The time period was known for great achievements, and was known as Greece’s Classical age. We made masks while learning about two and three-dimensional figures in math class.
We started with two-dimensional paper plates and we had to create three-dimensional masks. The mask had to be either comedy (funny) or tragedy (sad). After we cut out big eyes and a big mouth we added embellishments for the facial features. We had to be creative with the paint and we used yarn for hair.
Theater was a big deal in Ancient Greece. Everyone wanted to see the performances. The Greeks built huge outdoor theaters on hillsides. We still use the same theaters today.
