We are studying Greece and Drama this month for History, Literature, and Composition. Over the course of the month, the two older children (Grade 7 and 5) will write a drama on a subject of their choice for Composition. At the end of the month, they will perform the plays in a "Drama Competition", just like the Greeks.
In addition to using Global Studies and Story of the World, I will be using external resources. I am sharing my free resources on Greece with you.
