2.  What is a citizen?  What did we learn last day?

3. Objectives  We are going to be looking at how identity, status, and class structure impacted citizenship in ancient Athens  Students will: - Describe the role of a citizen and other classes in ancient Athens compared to present day - Demonstrate knowledge of the lesson’s vocabulary - Evaluate where citizens fit in the social hierarchy

4. Fill in the Blanks!  There are 4 classes we will be looking at…. 1) Slaves 2) Children 3) Men 4) Women

5. Slaves  Men, women, and children owned by other people  Could be bought or sold  Often people captured in wars  Their jobs and value depended on their education, skills, age, and strength  Could NOT vote, own land  Could NOT make decisions about their owners, their work, or location

6. Children  Boys and girls had different responsibilities based on gender and class  Trained children for these responsibilities  Boys who were not slaves could go to school and were expected to have military training  Girls were expected to stay home and learn household skills  Boys from less wealthy families often didn’t attend school  Instead, they helped family businesses such as farming or sandal-making

7. Men  Men who were not slaves belonged to one of two classes: citizens or metics

8. Men of ancient Athens: Citizens  Free men who were born in Athens and had an Athenian- born mother and an Athenian-born father  Only men could be citizens  Expected to serve in government positions, to vote, and to perform military services  Citizens could send their sons to school and own property

9. Men of ancient Athens: Metics  Metics were foreigners living in Athens  Expected to perform military service and could send their sons to school  Could not own property without permission  Could not vote or hold government positions  Needed a citizen to sponsor them or they could become enslaved  Although metics could not participate in government, they could try to influence what citizens thought and did

10. Women of ancient Athens  Women who were not slaves belonged to two classes: Athenian-born women and metics

11. Athenian-born Women vs. Metics  The only difference between these two groups was that Athenian-born women could own property, not metics. Other wise, the roles and responsibilities were similar.  Women in ancient Athens were respected caregivers and home managers  Had little independence  Men accompanied them out of the house and approved of most purchases  Time was spent in the home- cooking, cleaning, spinning, weaving, and caring for children  Women could not vote or hold government positions  They could, however, influence the men in their families  They got news of the city through male relatives, servants, and visits to the Agora
