ROAD TRIP!! Imagine you are a tourist who has just traveled to ancient Athens on a vacation. You
will visit several "sites" to learn about the "Golden Age of Athens." Upon the conclusion of your trip,
you will create an illustrated scrapbook, using memento’s (something you brought back from your trip
to help you remember your trip) to describe what you learned about the “Golden Age of Athens”.
Important materials to take with you while "site seeing" include:
- Colored Pencils and Glue Sticks
- Chapter 29 Reading Notes and Purple Text
Directions For Scrapbook: Your scrapbook will be at least five (5) pages
Use you Reading Notes 29, textbook, and mementos to help you create the scrapbook. Your
scrapbook must include the following:
SCRAPBOOK COVER:
Your scrapbook's colorful cover will include your name, a catchy title, a
description of Athens during the Golden Age, and illustrations (you need
three or more pictures that represent something you did/saw on your trip
– can you include a photo of YOU in Athens?). You may use the Internet
to get pictures of Athens.
MEMENTO’S:
You MUST visit at least FOUR SITES (stations) during your "vacation."
At each location, follow the directions found inside the folder. Complete
your Reading Notes and activity for each site. The memento (souvenir)
from each "site" (activity) you visit will be placed on a different page in
your scrapbook.
Special Features of Scrapbook: Each page of your scrapbook MUST have…
1. a catchy title that explains where you visited.
2. a description of the site: WHAT the site was like (describe what you saw) AND an
explanation as to WHY the site was important to ancient Athens (include three things you
learned.)
3. A memento of your experience at the site done neatly and correctly (did you follow the
directions from the site?).
4. Have you ever looked through pictures of you visiting the Statue of Liberty, the shore, or a
famous museum? Well, you must also include a photograph of yourself at the sites you
visit on your walking tour of ancient Athens (A head shot is fine). Your picture, along with
the drawing that represents information you learned about the site, will look like you were
actually on vacation and posing at an important historical site!! Feel free to sketch your
body or use clipart.
5. Visual appeal: the entire page needs to be covered in a neat and colorful manner.
Don't worry, I am your tour guide and will make your stay in ancient Athens a memorable one.
