Granicus and Asia Minor Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about Alexander the Great's early military campaigns, focusing on the Battle of Granicus River, his strategic innovations, and the significance of his victories in consolidating his power. They will also explore Alexander's symbolic acts, such as his homage at Troy and the cutting of the Gordian Knot, to understand his influence on both his contemporaries and history. Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading, research, and video watching options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
