Explore life in Ancient Greece by choosing the role of different people from Athens or Sparta. Along the way you must choose which action the character will take. With each decision the story changes. You Choose. In this You Choose history adventure, the reader chooses to live in either Athens or Sparta in the 400’s BCE. Within these two choices, the reader must make other choices. In Athens the reader may be a government official, a sculptor, or a philosopher. In Sparta, the reader may choose to be a soldier, merchant or near slave.
Further choices are presented as the story progresses. The reader can go back and change their choice as many times as they like. Introductory and concluding chapters tie it all together.
This is an exciting way for students to learn about history. By reading about the lives of different characters, the student gets a wider appreciation for the historical time period.
This title is excellent for interdisciplinary cooperation between Language Arts and Social Studies. Theal, Joan
