This presentation is designed to allow your students to actively
participate in an exciting retelling of the ancient history of Egypt,
Greece and Rome. Through the use of games, drama, and
storytelling, history will come alive! Students explore the famous
events, historical figures, and relevant vocabulary of this exciting
period in history. Through dramatic activities, students “become”
famous men and women of both history and mythology. The students
will meet in small groups (at Park Day or another agreed upon spot)
to plan their presentations, costumes, etc. Lots of study material is
provided. On the presentation day, students compete by teams to
see who knows the most about the ancient world. This is done in a
