Agenda • Trade and Expansion in Ancient Greece- Finish Graphic Organizer • Quiz: Ancient Greece geography, city-states, and daily life • Citizenship in Ancient Greece • What did it mean to be a citizen in Ancient Greece? • Graphic Organizer on Citizenship • Video – part 2

Graphic Organizer • Take out your graphic organizer from earlier this week • DAILY LIFE IN ANCIENT GREECE • We will complete the back on • TRADE AND EXPANSION • Sparta • Athens

Trade and Expansion • Trade in Athens became easier in 570 B.C.E when the government began to make gold and silver coins • This allowed the traders to have a form of money to acquire more goods that their city-state needed

Trade and Expansion • Two of the most important city-states we will focus on this unit are Athens and Sparta • Both Athens and Sparta grew because of trade and expansion • Let’s take a look and see how and why this happened…

Trade and Expansion • As the Greek city-states (polis) began to grow, the Greeks had to make sure all the people had enough food to live • They did this in two ways: • Conquest: a city-state would capture the land and resources of its neighbor • Trade: a city-state would trade resources with another city-state • The city-state of Sparta was the first to do this

Sparta: Expansion • Sparta was located on the Peloponnesian Peninsula of Greece • Sparta didn’t have a port where they could sail from, so, it could not trade and travel by ship like other city-states, but its population kept growing • So, this is what they decided to do:

Sparta: Expansion • Build its army and make it really strong! • Sparta began conquering its neighbors and taking their land and made the people their slaves • By 500 B.C.E, Sparta became so strong that they controlled most of the Peloponnesian Peninsula

Athens: Trade • Athens was different from Sparta • They had a port (harbor) and could trade easily through sailing • They didn’t have a lot of farmland, so they needed to trade for food and other resources! • The people of Athens made the following to trade: pottery, jewelry, olive oil, wine

Take out a half sheet of paper and label it as follows: Quiz: 6.4.1Name Date Period 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1. Trade in Athens became easier around 570 B.C.E. when the government • began to make gold and silver coins • began the barter system of trade • allowed trade with neighboring Persia • encouraged the wealthy to spend money on foreign goods

2. Around 750 B.C.E., Greece's Dark Age came to an end and the isolated cities became • colonies of Persia • colonies of Mycenae • kingdoms • city-states

3. The early city-states of Greece developed in the region of the • Ionian sea • Mediterranean Sea • Aegean Sea • Black Sea

4. The agora of ancient Greece was the • center of religious services • market and gathering place • farming community • place the laws were made

5. Ancient Greece was able to develop a city-state style of government because • all areas had access to the Aegean Sea • the Minoans prevented trade and travel • each group spoke it's own language • the mountains kept the Greeks from uniting

Citizenship in Ancient Greece • Next week we will focus on the different types of government in ancient Greece and how citizenship was a key factor for each • However, we first need to understand citizenship • What is it? • How did it start? • Who was responsible for it?

Citizenship • citizenship: membership in a political community • One of the factors that made politics successful in ancient Greece was the idea of citizenship • Remember, Greek city-states did not have Kings, but were led and governed by citizens…thus, the idea of citizenship began

Citizenship • Having citizenship meant you had rights and responsibilities • In other parts of the world like Egypt, India, and China people were ruled by a ruler, but in Greece, ordinary people (aristocrats and small farmers) were allowed to take part in the government • Participation in the city-state’s affairs was a responsibility of the Greek citizen (men only…remember women, slaves, and foreigners could not participate)

Role of a Citizen • Being a citizen meant voting and voicing your opinions on city affairs • People in ancient Greece often used pieces of pottery to state their opinions about government affairs • But…where did this idea of citizenship come from?

A General named: Pericles • Born in 490 and died in 429 BCE • He came from a wealthy family with strong connections to the government of Greece. • Began his early career in the military where he became a general • Helped form the idea of citizenship!

Pericles • Pericles brought to Athens, and to Greece, the ideals of democracy. • He believed that the true value of Athens was found in the common good of the people and he worked to ensure that their common interests were served by their government. = wanted people to have a voice in what happened to their city-state!

Pericles • Pericles believed that the people should represent equality at all levels and he worked to ensure that every Athenian had land and some link to their state and its government. • Power rested in the hands of all those who made the state’s business their business and the only way to ensure that the people cared for the state was to ensure that they had a vested interest in the state.

Pericles • Pericles used his building projects in a political sense by making it possible for his “full employment policy” where every able man, woman and child, any able craftsman or worker to work for and earn money---and honor---from the state. • This was meant to show the common people that they too shared in the profits and the splendor of the empire. • He ensured that every single person had a vested interest in the creation of the state and in the building of their own legacy. = POWER TO THE PEOPLE! (not kings!)

Pericles • He believed that anyone who did not have an interest in politics or the affairs of state had no business in the state at all because it was by the will of the people that the state existed and the state flourished or failed by that same will. = If you didn’t want to be involved in the city, then get out!

Graphic Organizer • You will receive a graphic organizer on citizenship • We will fill out the first part together and you will complete the bottom on your own or with a partner • The first part is a bit challenging (actual words spoken by Pericles) so we will analyze it together 
