Learning Target: Students will be well informed members of society and will be able to formulate educated opinions on global, national, and local issues. Students will understand the ideas of "POV" and of bias and will be able to use these ideas to evaluate multiple sources. Students will understand what the strengths and weaknesses were of the Spartan educational system.

Circle: What room in your house or apartment do you spend the most waking hours in per day?

World Issues Project: You will have ten minutes to work on your World Issues Projects.

DBQ Intro: We will be discussing what our educational values are as a warm up exercise for the DBQ.

The Steps:

1- Read the document individually.

3- Report out.

4- Discuss the content of the document and answer the questions in your groups.

5- Report out what the strengths and weaknesses were of Spartan education based on this document. 

6- On a separate piece of paper, use a t-chart to record notes on what the strengths and weaknesses were.
