Students will be introduced to the four main philosophers of ancient Greece (Sophocles, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle). Students will critically examine two notable quotations from each philosopher, asking what they felt the message of each idea meant. Next, students will write and share whether they agree with each of the philosophical thoughts. Lastly, students will read an article from a fictional newspaper that details the trial and ultimate death of Socrates.
This was a fantastic resource to add to my Ancient Greece unit. It is a wonderful graphic organizer, and my students really enjoyed the lesson for which I used it for. It helped keep them organized, too! Thank YOU! :)

Hi Travelling Teacher. I'm not asking a question but I noticed a glaring spelling mistake in your work. You have consistently used "to" instead of "two" in the summary and the preview page. This might sell better without the mistake.
