Option 1: Write two 600-1000ish word
essays
on two of the topics given below, using only class resources
(i.e. your textbooks, class notes, & pdfs in ANGEL):
If
President Obama were alive in ancient Greece (as an
Athenian or as a Spartan), would he more likely be successful as an
Athenian or a Spartan? Make sure you answer why and why not for both Athens and
Sparta. (Note: for President Obama use either common knowledge or cite
reputable and balanced on-line sources and include correct entries in
your
bibliography--see paper 2 for a reminder on how to cite web sources)
We have seen
that the heroic code (ways to achieve honor/fame and avoid
dishonor/shame) has morphed during the Archaic Age. Discuss both
generally and then how it morphed in Athens or in Sparta (i.e. a
paragraph on each polis). Conclusions?
How
has women's position/status and opportunites changed during the Archaic
Age? Some primary evidence to consider are the Archaic Age
poets we have covered this unit (see the pdf and Kebric, chapters 1-4).
Option 2: Write
one
1200-1800 word essay on one
of the topics below, using only
class resources
(i.e. your textbooks, class notes, & pdfs):
We have seen
that the heroic code (ways to achieve honor/fame and avoid
dishonor/shame) has morphed during the Archaic Age. Discuss both
generally and then how it morphed in Athens and in Sparta. Conclusions?
If
President Obama were alive in ancient Greece, would he more likely be
successful as an
Athenian or a Spartan leader or as the leader of a new colony? Make
sure you answer why and why
not for both Athens and
Sparta and a Greek colony. (Note: for President Obama
use either common knowledge or cite reputable and balanced on-line
sources
and include correct entries in your bibliography--see paper 2 for a
reminder on how to cite web sources).
How
has women's position/status and opportunites changed during the Archaic
Age? What do the women's 'Olympic' games tell us about after the
Archaic Age? Some primary evidence to consider are the Archaic Age
poets we have covered this unit (see the pdf and Kebric, chapters 1-4).
Also, don't forget to include Athens and Sparta.
