Newscaster: Back again with news about an unusual school trip. 
Yesterday, students of the 14th High school of Athens visited the archaeological site of Filopapos Hill
and explored the area in a different way. For almost three hours, 
they travelled through time while they were playing treasure hunt.  
Our reporter, Jane Kelly, was there: 

Reporter: What exactly are you doing here this morning? 

Student A: Our teachers have given us a questionnaire and we must go around the place in small groups and find all the answers. 

Reporter: Sounds interesting! What are these questions about?

Student C: Well, most of them are about daily life in ancient Athens. Look! We’ve already found where Greek orators, like Demosthenes, 
used to stand to speak to public. It’s there, at the Pnyx. Now, we’re going to the monument of Filopappos. 
We want to copy the names on the inscriptions there. 
If we finish quickly and our answers are all correct we’ll be the winners of the game.

Reporter: Wow! So, let me not waste your time. Good luck!!

Newscaster: The school has organized this game four times so far with great success. 
Mr Ravasopoulos, the biology teacher who had the original idea, says to Jane Kelly:

Mr Ravasopoulos: I’ve always wanted to make young people love history. We’ve actually prepared the students for this day. 
We’ve told them a lot about the historical period they’re exploring right now. 
We’ve also given them maps and compasses, and here they are! 

Reporter: They look so excited about it. Have you done all this work by yourself?

Mr Ravasopoulos: No, of course not. My colleagues and a group of archaeologists have helped me a lot. 
I would like to thank them for their voluntary work.

Newscaster: This year, 120 students from all High school grades took part in this project. 
At the end of the day, all of them wanted to repeat it next year. 
They want more schools to learn about it and do the same.  
Learn by doing interesting things outside the classroom. 
Why not?  More news after the break!
