The options are vast with this Ancient Greece and Olympics research project! Using Scholastic online resources, historians have interactive and educational supports to guide them through researching and writing about the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Of course, this can be adjusted to any Olympic year. Scholars use an online writing workshop and news writing tools to create written products, study Greek roots, and act as reporters during the games.
