Types of Government Simulation Activity
When I say GO,*Push all the desks to the back or sides of the room*Have your notebook, Notes Sheet, and writing utensil*Sit on the floor-When you sit on the floor, you have NO POWER as citizens of this Civilization
As we learn about the 4 types of government in Ancient Greece, we will choose music to listen to based on the ways decisions were made in each government structure.
Monarchy
The earliest form of government in ancient Greece was monarchy, in which one person-such as a king or emperor-had the power to make all of the political decisions.
Those of you sitting on the floor have no power.
Yellow=king Green=prince King chooses a song and
the volume The king has passed away. Prince-it is now your
responsibility to choose a song

Monarchy ruled by a king, no queen kings had all power at first chosen by people later inherited power passed
on to sons kings served as judges,
religious leader, led armies aristocrat counsels aristocrats: best, most
wealthy, land owners kings were dependent on
aristocrats aristocrats realized that
they, as a group, were stronger that the king
eventually aristocrats took power leading oligarchy
Reflection on Monarchy:*How did you feel during this part of the activity?*Did you like the choices made by the king and the prince?*If you wanted different music from what the king and prince chose, was there any way you could have had it played?*Who makes the decisions in a monarchy?*What are the advantages of a monarchy? What are the disadvantages?
Oligarchy
Oligarchy developed in Greece as an alternative to monarchy. In an oligarchy, a few individuals have the power to make political decisions.
Remember: those of you on the floor have no power.
Oligarchs were the wealthy members of society. Three volunteers.
wealthy landowners oligarch=Greek word a few very comfortable lives while
poor worked in fields the hardworking poor saw
difference between the lives of the rich and poor
oligarchy abused power ignored the needs of the poor
and used army to make them obey
rich got richer and the poor got poorer
eventually the poor found leaders who promised to improve their lives
backed by the people, the leader took power
Oligarchy Reflection:•If you were sitting on the floor, how did you feel during the exercise?•How did you feel if you were allowed to choose the music? Why do you think you were given money?•How did you feel when you couldn’t hear the music?•Who makes decisions in an oligarchy? Who do you think made the decisions in the oligarchies of Greece?•What are the advantages and disadvantages of an oligarchy?
Tyranny
Discontent with the oligarchy in ancient Greece led to the rise of new leaders, called tyrants.
In a tyranny, one individual seizes power by force and rules single-handedly.
Remember: those of you on the floor have no power.
Which of you believe that the class would like YOU to be the one to select the music?
Stick=symbol of military background
Tyrant: follow the advice of your supporters to choose the next song
Definition: Directions:
Lady Gaga- Poker Face Taylor Swift- Love Story
OAR- This Town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KnIzq77Pfw
mostly military leaders who got support from the poor and unhappy people
tyrants rule became unbearable people of Athens forced them from power
Tyranny Reflection:
•Why did you choose to support one person or another?•If you were chosen to select the music, how did you feel?•If you were asked your advice about the song to play, how did you feel? If you weren’t asked, how did you feel?•Who makes decisions in a tyranny?•What are the advantages and disadvantages of a tyranny?
Democracy
Around 500 B.C.E., after the overthrow of the harsh tyrant, the citizens of Athens decided they would rule themselves. This was the beginning of democracy.
In a democracy, people vote to make political decisions.
Class vote We will play the
song that receive more than half of the votes. This is the majority.
themselves democracy=rule by people Direct Democracy= every
citizen votes on every issue/Athens
Representative Democracy=people vote for reps who vote in their name/United States
assembly=law making group made up of free men
no all believed it was a good type of government
Democracy was one of the greatest gifts to the modern world from Ancient Greece
