Greece: An Introduction to the Art, Culture, Sights, and Food

This slideshow helps elementary students quickly learn about famous landmarks, food, art, and the culture of Greece. You can use this slideshow at the beginning of a unit on Greece, the Greek language, or mythology. You can also print it out and use it as a book for student research. This slideshow also has 4 questions at the end of the slideshow to review what students have learned.

This download comes as a PDF file and is NOT editable as a PDF. However, you can open this slideshow in the TPT EASEL program and add or delete pages and add your own content. I have made a free EASEL activity for your students to use where they can answer questions, circle or highlight things, and write about what they have learned. That is included with this download.
