Warm Up What is the difference between these two forms of government…totalitarianism and democracy How does this relate to our study of Greece?

Warm Up Determine which class you would prefer to be in, and explain why in 3-5 sentences Class A: Ms. Foster believes that students should help to make the classroom rules. The class votes on such rules as whether they can chew gum in class, eat in class, leave their seats whenever they want, speak without raising their hands, and wear hats in class. Students also vote on the punishments for breaking any rules. Class B: Ms. Kobe sets the rules for the class. The rules are quite strict. Students may not chew gum or eat in class. They cannot leave their seats unless they raise their hangs and ask permission. No hats are allowed. Students may not talk when Ms. Kobe is giving a lesson. Ms. Kobe also has strict punishments. If a student breaks any rule, they must spend one hour after school cleaning the classroom.

Success Criteria: Describe Athenian and Spartan government, economy, education, and treatment of women/slaves Compare and contrast life in Athens and Sparta Determine which was a more desirable city-state to live in, and justify that decision

Key Vocabulary Totalitarianism : the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible Example Hitler and Mussolini Democracy: a form of government in which the ruling power is shared by all citizens

Previewing Sparta vs Athens Sparta Athens Upper classes had all power and privilege. Helots (slaves)did all the nonmilitary work. All citizens were equal. Women and slaves were excluded from becoming citizens. All education focused on military strategies and war Education focused on physical and mental skills

Task Read section 27.2 on page 260 Write a brief, 2-3 sentence summary of Athens Write a brief, 2-3 sentence summary of Sparta Decide which one you think was a better place to live in Ancient Greece, and write that on your sticky note.

Athens vs Sparta Research Of more than 300 Greek city-states, Athens and Sparta were the most powerful. Yet these two city states were huge rivals and had very little in common. This exercise will allow you to research, organize and articulate specific arguments and evidence in a formal debate based on the question : Which city state was more desirable, Athens or Sparta?

Division of Teams You are being divided into 2 groups: one representing ATHENS and the other representing SPARTA . Once in small groups, you will research that society according to one of the selected topics below. Remember, you are encouraged to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents ’ society as well as the strengths and weaknesses of your own . Each group will have to read about and record info about the following of your assigned city: Government Economy Education Women and Slaves

Remember… PRO – you will be reading about your city-state, and debating everything that was good about them CON – you will be reading about the other city-state, and debating everything that was bad about them

Processing What do you think life would be like in the opposite city- state that your researched ?

Discussion Spartan society depended heavily on their Helots (slaves). DO you think their society could have existed without the slaves? During the years 431-404 B.C., Athens and Sparta engaged in wars with one another. Given what you know about the two states, which state do you think was victorious? Defend your choice. Athens will ultimately lose these wars.

Discussion Continued Which state would you have rather lived in, Athens or Sparta? Explain why Analyze how a "democratic" society can deny rights to some individuals? Despite Sparta's accomplishments, the state did not leave an artistic legacy as Athens did. How does this reflect the philosophy of Spartan society? Should a society make art a priority ? How "democratic" a society was Athens? Compare Athens to our society. What are the similarities? What are some differences?

Closing statement

Athens / Sparta Debate Fact Sheet Homework IF you have not finished your fact sheet, each student must complete his/her own fact sheet and submit it on date of debate to participate!
