Activity One - Play

You will be given a game to play that is based on the theme of Ancient Greece. These games will be either be card games such as 'Top Trumps' and 'Zeus on the Loose' to a board game. As you play the game write down on paper anything that you personally feel does not accurate for this period of time, region of the world, or is perhaps stereotypical.

Activity Two - Kahoot

Rather than playing board games, there is the option of playing various Kahoot quizzes. Mr. Allaway has put a selection of Kahoots together which have been produced by the National Geographic and 'History by Kahoot' for your teacher to direct within the lesson. See the 'Useful Resources' box below.

Activity Three - Watch

You will be watching the Disney cartoon 'Hercules'. As you did for the card and board games write down on paper anything that you personally feel does not accurate for this period of time, region of the world, or is perhaps stereotypical.

Activity Three - Write

While either playing the card and board games or watching the Disney film about Hercules you may have come across a number of points that you might have found stereotypical or were perhaps not factually accurate. This is going to be your opportunity to write a letter to either Disney or the company that made the game to inform them of what was perhaps inaccurate or stereotypical. While it is all well and good to raise concerns it is also important to make suggestions for improvement. You will be writing the letter on a Google Doc. This will be an individual task but each person will add their letter to their group's website.
