One teacher could implement this lesson, however more teachers or volunteers would be helpful.  This activity should take 4-5 45 minute periods. Volunteers could help the students navigate the Internet or take notes.  A field trip could be planned to a local museum that is having an Ancient Greece exhibit.   The field trip could be taken during the project as another resource, or after the project as enrichment.
