Description
Summary:	Different students respond to different stimuli. Visual material is highly persuasive in the teacher’s aim to have students with varying levels of knowledge respond to seemingly abstract topics such as the public role of theater. A multi-sensory approach helps to push the limits of student knowledge and curiosity beyond ancient Greek history and culture into the similarly rich but lesser-known modern Greek realm. A Socratic teaching style further entices the students to engage with images that present all-new puzzles and that make them unravel the threads of the history of a country both enriched and marred by its many legacies.
