The students in Ms. Albus & Mrs. Parrish’s 3rd grade classes at Baker worked on these 5 Pixie slides to enhance their understanding on Greece & Rome.  We started off by locating Europe on a world map.  Next we identified the countries of Greece & Italy on a map of Europe.  Then we took a closer look at Greece & Italy and the location of the Mediterranean Sea, which was important for transportation and trading.  In the final slide, we looked at how the contributions from ancient Greece & Rome have shaped our lives today.  By clicking on Share, we were able to turn our 5 slides into a slide show.  We did not have time, but voice recordings can easily be added to each slide to explain each slide before exporting as a Movie or Slide Show.
