GROUP 3- MAGNUS (ROLE PLAY)

[Narration: The scene opens in a high school classroom. Mr. Smith and Mrs.
Johnson are preparing for a joint lesson on ancient Greek knowledge about the
shape of the Earth. The students are seated, eagerly]

Joemar: Good morning, everyone! Today, Ms. Fay and I have a fascinating topic
to discuss: How did the ancient Greeks know that the Earth is spherical?
Jessa: Indeed! The Greeks were pioneers in many fields, including science and
philosophy. Their understanding of the Earth's shape is a testament to their
intellectual prowess.
Magaro: But how did they figure it out without modern technology?
Parcon: Yeah, like, they didn't have satellites or space probes back then.
Jessa: That's a great point, Robby. The Greeks relied on observations and
reasoning to deduce the Earth's shape. They noticed that during a lunar eclipse, the
shadow of the Earth on the Moon was always round.
Bravo: So, they saw the shadow and were like, "Hey, our planet must be round
too!"
Paulino: But couldn't it be some other shape casting a round shadow?
Joemar: Excellent question, JM. The Greeks also observed that as ships sailed
away from the shore, their hulls disappeared first, followed by their masts. This
suggested that the Earth's surface was curving away from them.
Marigay: So, they combined observations of lunar eclipses and ship
disappearances to conclude that the Earth is round.
Restauro: That's pretty clever of them.
Capilitan: But did all ancient Greeks believe in a spherical Earth?
Jessa: No, Jerico. There were differing views among ancient thinkers. Some, like
Pythagoras and Aristotle, supported the idea of a spherical Earth based on evidence
and reasoning.
Cagulang: What about those who didn't believe it? Joemar: Good question, Laisa.
Some skeptics argued for a flat Earth, but their views were eventually
overshadowed by the evidence supporting a spherical Earth.
Shyra: It's amazing how they used logic and observation to understand something
so fundamental without modern tools.
Jessa: Absolutely, Shy. Their methods may have been simple compared to ours,
but their conclusions were remarkably accurate.
[The bell rings, signaling the end of the class]
Joemar: Well, that concludes today's lesson. Thank you all for your participation.
Keep questioning and exploring, just like the ancient Greeks did!
Jessa: Good bye class, see you again in another lesson.
All students: Good bye ma'am and sir. Thank you.
