1.6.10 - Ancient Greece & Rome Scavenger Hunt

"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
-Mark Twain

1. We'll spend half of the period in the library working on this activity and the other half in the classroom watching a video about Ancient Rome.

2. Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome are two of the most famous and important empires of all time. Their impact is still felt today (for example: the Capitol building in Washington D.C. is in an Ancient Greek style).

-I want you and your partner to find two things: an interesting fact about either Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome and an interesting picture about either Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. We'll vote for which fact and which picture is the best.
-To find these facts and pictures you can use either Google or Bing. Both of these sites have a image search engine.
-Here are some possible search topics:

ANCIENT GREECE = Ancient Greece Olympics, Ancient Greece Architecture, Ancient Greek Food, Ancient Greece Clothing, Ancient Greece Wars, Ancient Greece Cities, Ancient Greece Government
ANCIENT ROME = Ancient Rome Buildings, Ancient Rome Architecture, Ancient Rome Clothing, Ancient Rome Wars, Ancient Rome Government

-When you find a fact and a picture, copy the web address and send them to by using this form.
