The 6th Grade class recently completed their unit on Ancient Greece. During this unit, I used multiple assessments in lie of giving an exam. One of our major assignments was to create a newspaper that detailed all the important aspects of early Greek life. Each paper included a Geography section, a Sports page, an Economics/Money portion, Arts and Entertainment and concluded with Greek Mythology. Each paper used a traditional Greek vocabulary term for the title along with such names as traditional papers like Times, Journal and Post.

The 6th Grade class has many different learning styles. Some students learn from visual imagery while others excel in writing. This assignment allowed them to use multiple skills to create their papers. Their research on Greek Mythology and the use of a primary resource book gave them additional information unavailable in our text books. These additional steps expanded their knowledge base and kept them interested in the project. Overall, a wonderful display of fine work that other students are able to pick up and read in their free time.
