In our history learning today, we used our knowledge about the Athenian and Spartan city states to decide which one was the best!
We split into two teams to debate and within our teams split into little sub-groups responsible for debating one aspect of life in the city states.
The class did a great job at debating. They took turns well, made pertinent points, responded to opposing points and summarised. They also used openers to introduce their points and were respectful debaters throughout!
So, who was the best city state? Well, the debate was close. Athens won the categories on government and economy but Sparta won education and role of women. Tomorrow, we’ll make final points and I’ll make a decision on the winner!
