# Introduction

Dear 1HAT classes,

Today we start with a multimedia assignment about democracy.
This assignment will guide you through your learning process in five steps.
In each step we ask something different of you.

1. The first step wants you to practise your knowledge about ancient Greece and its geography.
2. The second step asks you to practise topic related vocabulary: practise, practise, practise!
3. The third step is an important step which might be more of a challenge. Here you will learn more about how the Athenian democracy worked. You will watch a video and answer a few questions about this video. Make sure you write all the important information that you have gathered, down in your notebook!
4. The fourth step asks of you to first summarize and organise all the gathered information in the form of a list of features. In this list you discuss the features of Athenian democracy. Secondly, we ask of you to gather information about democracy in the Netherlands nowadays. Can you describe the differences and similarities compared to the ancient Athenian democracy?
5. The fifth step wants you to visualise everything that you have learned. In pairs you are going to create a video which discusses the differences and similarities between both democracies. You will present this video to your class and teacher.

Your teacher will grade your work, commitment and video. All of it, ofcourse done in English!

Have fun and good luck!
