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 />
