(These are things that happened a long time ago in Greece.)

13. May be you’ve seen something similar before!

14. These are some images of the buildings from Ancient Greece and how they look today. Do they look old or new? Do they look like other buildings you’ve seen before?

20.  Ancient Greece was the FIRST to have a system of government based on a democracy. **This means the people of the country were the one who made the decisions. There was NO dictator or king. **

21.  While with Democracy, the people of the country were allowed to have a say in what happened, this was also very limited. In order to vote in Ancient Greece, one must have been: A male An adult AND a free citizen! (Or a free adult male citizen). Based on this who was NOT allowed to vote?

22.  Direct Democracy Direct Democracy  Representative Democracy Representative Democracy

23.  Example #1: When we vote for our WOW card winner reward (free ice cream, homework pass, or extra recess)  Example #2: When we voted to take the test, then recess, or recess first then test.  From these examples, what do you think direct democracy means?

24.  Direct Democracy: people directly vote on a law or decision  So what is representative democracy?
