Athenian Democracy Event

Our class traveled back in time to about 450 BC in Athens, Greece. The students were given a role in Athenian society. Their role determined the decision making power, or influence that they had. The 5 citizens of our class had the power to vote and make a decision that affected the entire class... just like in ancient Athens. Our citizens were influenced by the metics or their trusted slaves to make a decision, but come voting time they had all the power. They voted for one FREE block instead of a core subject, at the cost of some of their tokens and DT time of their slaves.

It was a wonderful learning experience for us all!
