**HANNAH AND KIM***read __Our World__ pages 185, 186, 187, 189, 190 ("Exploring Economics"), 199, and the pictures on 200 and 201. As you read these pages, ask yourself, "What jobs were required here?" For example, on page 185, we read about farming and fishingand shipping. If there is farming, who does the farmers? If there is fishing, who does it? If there is shipping, who builds the ships? MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE JOBS YOU CAN FIND ON THE ABOVE PAGES. Make sure you record any city-state specifics, such as job lists for Athens versus job lists for Minoa or Mycenae. The jobs that were required were farmers who worked on farms and raised animals and planted crops. Sailors who sailed and traveled around the Mediterranean sea to trade for grain. Then most of the Sparta's farm workers were helots. Helots can't leave the land they worked on and had to pay half of their yearly crops to their Spartan conquerors as taxes. They were a little better off than slaves. Then there are potters who make pottery and then there were stoneworkers who cut stones

A slave is a person who bound in servitude as the prop. of a person. Slaves could not be a citizen. A citizen is a person who had rights and responsibilities in his/her country/community. Women only had few rights. Men had a lot of rights. Also, men can only be citizens; women could not. Every citizen made a differnence in the community. For girls? For men? For boys?
 * HANNAH ** *Read page 191 in __Our World__, describe the role of slaves. Also, compare the role of women versus that of men in Athens.
 * HANNAH ** *Read page 192 in Our World about Sparta. Summarize the role of slaves in Spartan society. What were the expectations for women?

Sparta depends entirely upon forced labour. The slaves made armour, food, and everything else regular citizens would do in a normal city.

Did all Athenian boys attend school?
 * KIM ** *Read page 193 in __Our World__. What were the expectations for Athenian girls? Athenian boys? What were some typical Athenian jobs?
 * The expectations of the Athenian girls were that they did not do sports; they would stay home where they performed household tasks and learned to weave cloth from sheep’s wool. Then the expectations of the Athenian boys were that they would work with their fathers as farmers, potters, or stoneworkers. Then the wealthy parents sent their sons to school to learn how to read and write. Some typical Athenian jobs were farmers, potters, or stoneworkers. Not all the Athenian boys went to school only the boys who had wealthy parents.[[file:Hannah and Kim L.E.G.S..pptx]]
