Alexander the Great Document Analysis Activity

This excellent activity for Alexander the Great includes primary and secondary sources for students to analyze and respond to. After reading these short passages from Plutarch, Diodorus, Arrian, and an anonymous source, students complete a chart on the validity, purpose, and point of view of each.

This is an excellent project to integrate Common Core analysis of primary and secondary source documents for Ancient History. Each source is concise and can be easily understood by students. The sources take different looks at Alexander the Great, with both positive and negative views included.

An editable Google Docs version with links to online sources for more info plus an answer key are both included for your convenience.

This resource can also be downloaded as part of my Ancient Greece Unit Bundle!
