Knowledge
Builders
Knowledge Builders are
step-by-step instructions for expanding your comprehension of
the Perseus software and the ancient Greek world. Each
Knowledge Builder addresses a specific topic. Knowledge Builders
provide students and teachers with start up information on a
topic and directions for finding the information on that topic
in Perseus. Knowledge Builders save instructors time by
allowing students to teach themselves how to do research with
a large database.
