Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) / Guided practice:

Recap what we had talked about yesterday about the geography
of Greece.
Ask what is different about Greece than other civilizations we have 20
discussed.
Explain that now we are going to move away from the Geography
of Greece and towards their inventions that they have discovered.
Go through slides 4-10 in the guided notes. Stop to check in to go
over more difficult vocabulary such as terracing, and aqueducts.
Tie the geography back in for why they would need to do this to
survive.
After explain that we are going to learn a little more in-depth about
these technologies and conduct a graphic organizer to help us
remember.
Read a small paragraph on the art of Greece and Model how to
complete the graphic organizer.
Do the first two boxes as a think aloud
