Imagine you are a farmer living in the hills of ancient Greece. Your brother-in-law, a fisherman who lives
on the coast, has just come to visit, and the two of you sit down to talk about your lives and work. Write
down what you, as a farmer, might talk about, such as your crops and farm animals. Then write what your
brother-in-law might tell you about his experiences as a fisherman. Be sure to mention the weather and
climate and how they affect your work and his.
Then, talk about the city-states in which you both live. Explain how geography may have influenced the region to develop separate city-states instead of one government that unifies all the people.
