Instructional Activities<br />
1. Have students conduct a Think-Pair-Share on the different types <strong>of</strong> transportation that would be needed to<br />
trade products in the United States.<br />
2. Have students then discuss the pros <strong>and</strong> cons <strong>of</strong> using such transportation to transport products.<br />
3. Use a world map <strong>and</strong> have the students locate Greece <strong>and</strong> Rome. Identify the Mediterranean Sea <strong>and</strong> the Tiber<br />
River. Ask the students to describe the importance <strong>of</strong> these waterways (natural resource) <strong>and</strong> how they might<br />
have influenced trading.<br />
4. Divide the class into four groups. These groups will represent Greek city-states (e.g., Athens, Sparta, Corinth,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Olympia). Each group will design <strong>and</strong> illustrate a ship that can be used for trading. Students will generate<br />
a list <strong>of</strong> resources that will be necessary to build a ship. Each group will present its drawing <strong>and</strong> discuss the<br />
problems that may occur if certain resources were limited. Students will need to be able to respond to the<br />
following questions:<br />
What resources are needed to build the ship?<br />
How would the shipbuilders get the necessary resources to build the ship? (Think: cost to build)<br />
What are some goods that will be traded using the ship?<br />
How would the design <strong>of</strong> the ship be influenced by the goods to be traded?<br />
How do you think ancient Greece would have traded if the Mediterranean Sea didn’t exist?<br />
