Look up a bit of trivia on the country Greece. Put what you have learned into a “comment” using at least two of the three homophones: there, their and they’re. Make sure you have used them correctly.
I learned that most settlers in Greece settled by the water. Their farms were built on flat land. Half of Greece is just mountains. There, settlers can’t farm, let alone survive. The settlers of Ancient Greece thrived. They’re an important topic in Ancient History.
Wow! That must be hard to live in that environment.
Yep the mountains were in the way of a lot of stuff
Very interesting
The ancient Greeks had an interesting way of choosing their food. They’re very particular and had strange superstitions about their food- they wouldn’t eat beans because they thought that they held the souls of the dead. They didn’t want a soul appearing in the dark corner over there!
There are 50,949 square miles in Ancient Greece. There are about 61.5 million people who visit Greece a year. Their cars go through the Greek towns.
Loud and noisy. Good job
Choedid it
Greece is a really big place🌈
Yes🏔🚢🏞
This is a very interesting fact and I liked reading it!
That’s a cool fact John! 😀
That is really cool
In Greece, there are 250 days of sunshine. They also say that their ships for war have to be 75% Greek.
Hello my friend🤓😜
Hola me amego
Hullo

I did not know that
Hi good job🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈👌🐶
In Ancient Greece fathers chose their daughters husbands. In a day of a daughters life in ancient life was very simple. they’re usually left alone at the house in the mornings but then they go out and about the city.
Hi Brisket. Where did you find that information?
The Greek people had many different gods. One of their gods is Apollo. There in Greece the Greek people believed that Apollo was the god of sun and light.
Sup Jr. Sharks girl
You know that comment isnt school related right
Great Job Dana! That information about the gods was really interesting!
I have learned a very interesting fact about Greece that I feel is good to know while our class is studying Greece. Their people have one of the lowest death rates for cancer in Europe. Also, there are about 7,000 caves forming 24,000 km of underground galleries.
Great job, Halle! 🏉
Lucky them they have a lower chance of getting cancer. 🍀 😷 🤞👍📉
No one in Greece can choose to not vote there because voting is required by law for every citizen who is 18 or older. If they don’t vote they’re already considered to have the consequences.
Wow being forced to vote that would be terrible if there were to awful Canadates. -intense exhale- That would be so terrible.
The Ancient Greek men currently must serve from one year to 18 months in their branch of armed forces.The government spends six percent of the annual Gross Domestic Product on the military. They’re not like any other country.
Very interesting it was pretty cool
Cool nice job
Lotta money
I have learned that over in Greece there are many mountains that stopped the Ancient Greek people to own cattle. Because of this they had to raise goats and sheep. They also had to settle around waters to have good soil and farm. They also traveled to new places to find goods to trade with other Greeks, because their empire was spread around the Mediterranean Sea.
That was a really cool fact so great work
I think this is a fun fact to know about Greece. There are thousands of birds that stop in Greece’s marshlands. More than 100,000 birds come from Asia and Europe to spend their winters.
Good work I think that was really cool
I have learned that in Greece there is not an option to vote. When they’re are 18 or older they must vote. One other interesting fact is that thousands of English words that come from Greece.
Wow! I did not know that there was no option to vote!
There are no major rivers in Greece. There are three seas that surround Greece. They’re the Meditteranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Ionian Sea.
Great information Mackayla! I learned a lot more of Greece.
I learned that there was once a guy who was named Minos. A God sent him a bull to sacrifice to help him conquer the city Crete. Instead of sacrificing the bull, he kept it. Which then it angered the God, so the God made his wife fall in love with the bull. When the bull and the wife had a baby it was a unnatural creature so it only ate humans. It was called Minotaur. Years later after Minos had a maze built and put the bull in it his son was killed by mistake. Minos was enraged by this so he had fourteen young people sent to Crete as a sacrifice to the Minotaur annually. Eventually this one guy said he could try to kill the beast and Minos told him if he could he would become a legend. So the guy tried to kill the Minotaur but ended up being killed instead. He ended up as a legend for a little bit of time. After another couple years another guy came up to Minos and said the same thing. Minos told him the same thing as he did to the last guy. If he did kill the beast he would end up as a legend. This time however the guy actually managed to kill the beast and find his way out. So he ended up as a well know legend for a very long time. The guy still gets his glory today. The end.
Nice! I love that story, great job👍🏻
Is this a story that the Greeks tell or is this just a random post?? I am very confused. 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️ Intresing story though.
I learned that the Greeks have the largest set of gods in the entire world. There are gods for the water, land and sky. Their home is atop mount Olympus, where they eat special foods that make them immortal.
That’s good🏈😬
Greece is a country in Europe. They’re located next to Italy. There are mountains and peninsula’s in Europe. Greece is surrounded by three sea’s. There is the Medditarainian sea, Ionian Sea, and the Argean sea.
I learned that Greece is a country in Europe. There were many gods. It was really hard to live back then and there are many seas.
Greece is a beautiful place, but it did have its down sides. If people where to live in the mountains they’re most likely not going to live very long. The mountains have bad plantation, low water sources and won’t have much food. Up there in the mountains it is also very cold.
Good job! 👏 I think the first there,their,they’re is actually their. I might be wrong but you still got good information.
I learned that the Greeks settled next to natural resources. They’re very intelligent. There are many different seas. Greece has a lot of different mountains too.
That is good 🐶
I learned that Greece is surrounded by three seas. There are Mederadion Sea, Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea. The Greeks had many gods, their gods included Zues, Posidon and Hades.
Logan that’s great but you spelled Mediterranean and Zeus
Sadie is right, but great job!
I learned that there are three seas surrounding Greece, the Mediterranean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Aegean Sea. The settlers in Greece lived along the coast, and they built farms there. The Greeks are interesting people, and they’re very resourceful.
Nice! Do you know the name of the sea above Greece?
There are thousends of islands in Greece. Their bigest island is Crete. The capital of Greece is Athens.
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe. There are thousands of islands of Greece that are surrounding Greece. The islands are know for their beaches. Greece is often called the cradle of Western civilization.
In Greece, people couldn’t settle in the mountains. If they do, they’re going to have a hard time planting their crops. Near the coast, most people settled there because of the sea and resources.
Greece is a wonderful Country! Their Official Language is Greek. There are three seas that surround Greece, Ionian Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Aegean Sea. Greece culture is very intriguing!
Interesting! 🙂
Nice!
Cool!!!❤️😃
The settlers of Ancient Greece had a hard time finding a suitable spot for beginning a community. Greece is mostly mountains, so the had a hard time settling. But they found spots along the coast of Greece that would be ideal for starting towns and communities. Once there, the settlers began their new life by building houses and starting farms for food. I think they’re smart and strong. Wherever the settlers came from, they’d have to climb all of those tall mountains to get where they were going. That’s why they’re strong and smart.
One thing that I learned about Greece is that family is a very important part of life in Greece. Even after kids get married they live with their parents. There in Greece, familys usually eat olives, lamb, fish, squid.
I feel bad for the kids because they had to live with there parents. That’s terrible living with your parents the rest of your life. Good information though. 😬👍
I learned that most people in Greece would live near the coast because it was good for farming and good for raising sheep. If they were to live in the mountain ranges there wouldn’t be any water for farming and raising animals.
I learned that most of the people settled by the water and not by the mountains. They’re are moving closer to the so they can farm so they can get their own food. They also had a lot of water there so they could farm and also drink. They would also be able to keep there animal more easy because they had plenty of water.
In Ancient Greece people believed in gods their gods were named Zues,Posiedon,Hades,Hera,Ares,Apollo,Artemis,Hephaestus, Athena, Demeter, Aphrodite, Demeter and more as.you can see there where a lot of Greek gods they believed in
Test
The Greeks believed in 12 major Olympian gods and goddesses (Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Athena, ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either hesitia or Dionysus.)

Good job but you forgot to use one of the homophones, they’re, their, or there
Greece is a country in Europe with thousands of islands in the Aegean and Ionian seas. In ancient times, it’s often called the cradle of Western civilization. Back in Ancient Greece the people had a very hard time growing their crops and farming. They’re very brave to take on some animals if they come near their food.
In Ancient Greece there were gods. They stayed up there at Olympus. They had gods such as Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Hades , Poseidon and more. With their amount of gods, they where polytheistic.
I learned that modern Greece was very different than Ancient Greece. In Ancient Greece, there were more than 1,500 city-states. The city-states had their own laws and army, and they often quarreled.
I learned that most settlers have to move to the coast line with a dangerous living environment. They had big possibilities of a tsunami. There were too many mountains. Their shelters had to be on flat land. There are too many people there and it’s very crowded.
Did you know that Greece is extremely mountainous? There are so many mountains; there are no navigable rivers. In fact, Greece is 80% mountain! The only place that the Greeks could settle were the Greek islands, because they’re not nearly as mountainous as the country itself. The only downside was the possibility of a tsunami.
Good job for meeeeee
As Greece’s population increased it was harder to produce enough food for everyone so people gradually started moving away to Asia, Spain, France, Italy, and Africa. Then there were Greeks in all of those places. They’re all a part of Greek history
Great job everyone:)
I learned that Greece has about 16.5 million people visit there every year. There are more international airports there because everyone wants to go there. Also that’s nearly 80% of Greece is mountains. They’re are moving closer so they could try to battle to steal each other’s land.
In Ancient Greece, people were superstitious about food. They wouldn’t eat beans because they thought that they had souls of the dead in them. There are also a lot of mountains in Greece. The mountains forced Ancient Greeks to not settle in that area, so they had to build their homes near the beach.
Wow I never knew that! Great job!
Oh…
Three things I learned about greece were that everyone was supposed to vote. They’re required to vote once they’re the age of eighteen or above. Also, greece is very fond of soccer so it became their national sport. Lastly, there are over 1,200 to 6,000 islands scattered around the coast of greece. Those were a few things that I have learned about greece.

There are almost 6,000 islands in Greece which are located in the Ionian and Aegean Sea. They’re one of the settling spots for the ancient Greeks. Ancient Greek was very crowded because most of the land was mountains, so when they moved to the shores to own their land it was very crowded.
There are a lot of mountains in Greece the tallest mountain is mount Olympia. The mountains were one reson the people moved. Their were people that move to flat land because the mountains would take up the space.They’re one of the places that people would not settle on.
The Greeks believed in 12 major Olympian gods and goddesses (Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter, Athena, ares, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Hermes, and either hesitia or Dionysus.) They’re in control of certain things. There, over In Greece, they trust the gods with keeping them safe.

Nice! I trusted a sports fact to come from someone like you, cool fact!
In Greece, their land had many mountains. Therefore people could not communicate with many other people. Most settlers stayed by the water, away from the mountains. The mountains were not a good area to live because people needed to plant crops and raise cattle, also there were not many water sources in the mountains. There were many different Greek gods that they believed in.
Good job! Interesting facts.
The Greeks traded among their city-states, with Greek colonies, and in the wider Mediterranean regions. There was a lot of trading in Greece; they traded olive oil, clay pots, and other needed items or ingredients.

Some gods they believed in are Zesus, Demeter, and Hermes. All Greeks had many customs. Also, they’re the first place to create sports.
Hi
Greece is a wonderful place. Athens, their capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. They’re also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.
Greece is a beautiful place to live. Greece’s people relied on food so they mostly had to ship their food. They’re known growing grapes and olives. The sad thing was that there were no rivers flowing through Greece.

In ancient Greese the land was mostly mountains and cost, this led to having a hard time finding a good place to settle. Since the Greeks had a hard time growing wheat a barley, they mostly grew olives. They used olives to make oil, soaps, and etc. Adding on, the land was also hard for cattle so, the Greeks usually had goats, and sheep. They used the wool from the sheep to make clothes and yarn. They also made chess with the goat milk.
The Greeks used mathematical theories to make sense of nature. They also used geometry to measure things such as planting and layout.
Post!!
What I learned about Greece is that they’re most know for their biggest city-state Athens.In Acient Greece, most of the settlers settled near the coast.Mountains took up a lot of space so settlers had little room.Then, they found out there were islands so settlers settled there; everyone had space.That is what I learned about Greece.
