Web Quest Part 3

Before clicking on any links or reading anything else, ponder this question:

How did the Greeks communicate? 

Write your thoughts down on a sheet of paper.

The Greeks spoke and wrote a language much like modern Greek but with many differences. They gave us an alphabet that’s letters are used by many fraternities and sororities throughout the world.

Using the sites given, answer the following questions. When you are done answering those questions, write the Greek alphabet out, and then spell your name in Greek as best you can (I realize it may not have all of the letters in your name, so choose another letter in its place and tell me why you chose to use that one).

How many letters did the Greek alphabet have?
What two Greek letters form the word alphabet?
What group of people did the Greek alphabet come from? In other words, who did they get it from?
