=**Welcome to Influential You Greece!!!**= ====We are going to explore the influence that Greece has had on today's world and now on them. Our Greek collisum has four different activities for the students to enjoy when they have finished their classwork. They will need to complete all of the activities by the time that we have finished the unit. These games will provide entertainment to the students as they learn about Ancient Greece but the games become lessons that meet State Standards. They will learn about history, art, vocabulary, and Greek myths.====

Once they have their foil ready they place the image of their coin on top and trace gently. When they have completely traced their coin they can lift up the paper and they will see the image of the coin on the foil. At this point the students can now color the foil if they chose. When they are done they can proceed to cut it out so that they have a circular coin. Having the students recreate an image will help them with their carving soap art lesson.====
