Here’s an outline of what your Frayer model might look like for a key term related to Classical Greece, using a structure similar to a 4-box model. Unfortunately, I can't provide images, but I can describe what kind of image would be relevant and assist you with the definitions and explanations.

Frayer Model for Key Term: Democracy

Box 1: Key Term
Democracy

Box 2: Relevant Picture

  • An appropriate image could be a representation of the Athenian Acropolis, symbolizing the center of civic life in ancient Athens, or a historical depiction of an assembly of Athenian citizens participating in a democratic process.

Box 3: Definition & Historical Relevance

  • Definition: Democracy in the context of Classical Greece refers specifically to the political system established in Athens during the 5th century BCE where citizens (free men born in Athens) had the right to participate in decision-making processes.
  • Historical Relevance: Athenian democracy is considered one of the earliest known forms of direct democracy, where citizens could vote on legislation and executive decisions. It laid the groundwork for modern democratic systems and introduced concepts of citizenship, civic duty, and public discourse.

Box 4: Explanation of What It's Not

  • Athenian democracy should not be confused with modern representative democracy where elected officials make decisions on behalf of citizens. Additionally, this democracy was limited by exclusionary practices, as women, slaves, and non-citizens were not allowed to participate in the democratic process.

Using This Model:

You can create similar Frayer models for other key terms associated with Classical Greece, like "Philosophy," "Theater," "Oligarchy," "Acropolis," or "Hoplite." For the images, consider using visuals that would effectively illustrate the term's context and significance in Classical Greece.
