DESCRIPTION
The teaching method used is historical analysis, which, combined with the productive-inductive method, builds general knowledge through the teaching of details, and interprets the history as a whole, taking into account all the factors that shape historical reality. In addition, where deemed necessary, the indicative method based on projections will be used. Pedagogically, an attempt will be made to apply exploratory and collaborative learning. Students will work in groups, within which they can assume specific roles. The form of teaching will be dialectic with some use of narration to ensure the co-investigation of teacher - student. The teacher's role will generally be that of a facilitator. The printed worksheet will be distributed to the students. Using the WOW-HI platform and their historical knowledge, the students are asked to answer four short questions about the history, location and image of Ithome. The worksheet will be printed and distributed to the students five short questions about the history and the events of the Messinian wars. The worksheet will be printed and distributed to the students.
