Social Studies Ancient Greece Parthenon Craft and Reading Passage
If you're studying ancient Greece, this 3D paper Parthenon model will bring your topic to life. This is a hands-on project ideal for 4th grade and above, using materials that are easily available. It also comes with a short reading passage about the Parthenon with questions that help students find the answer to a joke.
You can differentiate with the craft with a smaller, easier version (two pieces), and a larger, more challenging version (five pieces).
Ideas for use:
- Students could color it first, make it as it is, or use the color version. You could also get students to add a modern twist or any other details to make it unique.
- Use as part of an ancient Greece study
- Use when learning about famous buildings around the world
- Use it as a hands-on activity for early finishers, golden time, GATE, or similar
