The Athens daily life

Using this link: BBC or this
Imagine you are living in Athens. Who are you? When you choose
who to be,  think about the following:
A female citizen:

• Are you married or unmarried?
• Do you live in a wealthy household or a poor one?
• How does your family earn its money?
• How do you spend your time each day?

A male citizen:

• Are you married?
• Are you wealthy or poor?
• Where do you work?
• What goes on at the debates in an assembly?
• Have you served in the army?

A slave:

• Are you male or female?
• Are you young or old?
• Who owns you, a family or are you owned by the state?
• Where were you born - in Athens or somewhere else in Greece or in a different country altogether?
• How did you come to be a slave? What job do you do?

You could try writing about a day in your life in Athens. Perhaps there’s a special event you’re going to? Or you could write your biography; where you grew up; what your parents did; and what you are doing now in Athens. Send me your writing. Link to this activity.
