Imagine that the city of Athens has decided to build a new museum to share and celebrate Greece’s past. You have been hired to create an exhibit for the new museum, celebrating the Ancient Greece Civilization.

Assignment:

Your museum exhibit must highlight six Ancient Greek Artifacts—one for each of the six S. P.R. I.T. E. categories. Each of the artifacts must include an image or sketch of the artifact. Your exhibit must also include a written explanation of why each artifact should be included in the museum and how the artifact was important to the people of Ancient Greece.

Your completed project should include the following:

six artifacts from Ancient Greece—one for each of the six S. P.R. I.T. E. categories
a three to four sentence explanation for each of the S. P.R. I.T. E. artifacts, telling why the artifact should be included and how it was important to the people of Ancient Greece
one image or sketch for each of the six artifacts
Research: Choose typical examples from ancient Greek cities such as Athens, Sparta, and Corinth.

Examples of Sprite Elements: Each artifact in your exhibit should represent an Ancient Greek item, person, place, or event to illustrate these six S. P.R. I.T. E. categories. Below are examples to guide you:

social—map of the city or article of clothing
political—government document
religious—a temple or religious festival
intellectual—sculpture, artwork, or writings
technological—tool or other piece of technology
economical—goods for sale or coins
You may also use the Web 2.0 tools to help you create your project

d. she conquered the black sea coast and parts of poland.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
