UKS2 – Ancient Greek governance debate!

Today, UKS2 imagined they were a citizen in Ancient Greece. They learnt about the four main types of governance in Ancient Greece: monarchy, oligarchy, tyranny and democracy. The children worked as groups to use information from videos and written discourse to create a detailed poster about the for and against arguments for each type of governance.

Then, the children decided for themselves which governance would have been best to live under in Ancient Greece. The children then passionately debated as a class why their governance was best and why.
