The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Philosophy and Its Influence: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle:
Overview In this experience, students are introduced to philosophy and become acquainted with the three most influential ancient Greek philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Students research the main contributions of each and explain why their contributions are still considered important. Finally, students select a quotation from one of the philosophers and respond to it. Objectives
Many of the most basic ideas people hold today—such as the idea that we can use reason and logic to solve problems—were given to us by ancient Greek philosophers and handed down across 2,500 years. You’ll learn about Greek philosophers and some of their ideas in this experience.
Objectives
The School of Athens, a Renaissance Painting by Raphael (1483-1520 C.E.)
Write words or very short phrases that tell what philosophy is about. To write more than one, separate them by a comma, like this: ice cream, apple pie
Discuss students’ ideas. Possible student entries include, but are not limited, to, thinking, truth, and ideas. If your students show limited comprehension of the word, read the definitions of philosophy aloud from a dictionary and briefly discuss.
