Democracy is a word most of us know, but to explain what it means is not easy.
We all know democracy is the political system in the Netherlands. Did you know that the Greeks in the city-state (polis) of Athens developed this type of government first?
By completing the steps in this assignment you will learn about direct democracy in the city-state of Athens. This city-state of Athens was an aristocracy first. Your teacher has already taught you this political system. In the fifth century BC, Athens became a democracy.
In this webquest, you will prepare yourself for a writing task about democracy (rule by the people) in ancient Athens and in modern day Netherlands.
How are they the same, how are they different?
First, you will create a definition for democracy.
Second, you will study key words that have to do with this topic.
Third, you will watch a video about ancient Athenian democracy.
Fourth, you will research modern Dutch democracy.
Fifth, finally, you will write a short text in class in which you compare the two forms of democracy.
During step three and four, it is very important that you take notes. You can bring as much information as you find to class on the day of the writing task. This information you put together in a piece of writing. You teacher will help you collect information.
Step 1: Democracy: what does it mean?
To make a start, answer the question underneath in your notebook.
Step 2: study your subject-related vocabulary
Study the vocabulary related to this topic. Check with your teacher whether you can continue to the next step of the assignment.
Make sure you enter the correct group and use your school account to log in (choose: Google account)!
Have you studied all the vocabulary? Only then you are ready for the next learning activity.
WHAT?
Create a list of features (kenmerken) of Athenian democracy.
HOW?
Please watch the clip about Athenian democracy in ancient Greece. (until 3.41 min).
Take notes in your notebook about the important information in this videoclip, thus creating a list of features.

Step 4: Research
You have learned about direct democracy in ancient Athens. And so, you have created a list of features on this topic.
The next thing you need to do is perform some research on our Dutch democracy today.
HOW?
Step 1: Use the features of ancient Athenian democracy and see if you can discover how this works in our Dutch democracy today. For example: you learned who were part of the Athenian democracy; now discover who are part of the Dutch democracy (who can vote? who cannot?).
Step 2: Make sure that you also write these features of Dutch democracy down in your notebook.
Step 3: When you have completed step two, you have created an overview of features of both ancient Athenian democracy and Dutch democracy nowadays.
Step 5: Writing task democracy
The final part of this assignment is the writing task. Your teacher will hand you a writing task that suits your level of learning. You will write this text in class. You are allowed to bring your notes. Make sure that you bring them onpaper since you are not allowed to use your laptop. If you want to, you may also bring a dictionary.
Why three different levels of the writing task?
Everyone has their own level of skills in English and History. Of course we will all end up at (more or less) the same level of knowledge. But getting there is part of your own personal development. That is why your teacher will tell you which task he/she thinks you should do. Some pupils need more of a challenge and others need more help. That is OK, since we are all different individuals!
