I have used this activity many times as a starting point for studying the Ancient Greeks. The lesson plan includes an introduction to the Greek alphabet, hints for writing your name using the ancient Greek alphabet, and some examples of modern names written with the Greek alphabet. Finally, there is a chart showing the Greek alphabet and the English sound each letter makes.
TIPS: I recommend first having the students writing their Greek-lettered name on the thick white art paper (approximate measurements of nametag are 30 cm x 10 cm) with a pencil. Spacing and equal sizing of the letters is vital. Then have them make the letters into block form and fill those in with black marker. Finally, they can do the background in any design of their choice with colored pencil. The effect and contrast are then very nice!
Students create a name tag which you can laminate and attach to the corner of their desk. They love it and it makes a great impression when visitors come into your social studies class!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I have been an upper elementary and middle school teacher for 31 wonderful years and have loved every minute of it. For me, content is the key. I believe the plans, printables, and worksheets I have created have above all else high-quality content, but are also practical and ready-to-use. Each item I sell has been used in my classroom or by a part of my teaching team (teacher-tested) and is clearly written. I won't put any lesson or idea on TeachersPayTeachers unless I am certain YOU can understand it, teach with it today, and that it has value for children.
