Description
|
|
"Imagine that you and a team of fellow archaeologists have been contracted by the U.N. Historical Society to uncover artifacts from the Ancient Greek culture. As you begin your dig, many important discoveries are made that give clues to the way of life in Ancient Greece. Your team has been asked to display your findings of Ancient Greece through a fairy tale. The team has decided that the tale of Cinderella would be a great story through which the Ancient Greek culture could be portrayed."
