<h1>🎭 Greek Theater</h1>
<h2>Week 9 • Wednesday • Masks, Plays, and Big Crowds</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Do you like movies and shows? Then thank the ancient Greeks — they invented <strong>theater</strong>! Huge outdoor theaters were carved into hillsides, shaped like giant half-circles. The theater in Athens could hold more than 15,000 people!</p>
<p>Actors wore big <strong>masks</strong> with wide-open mouths so their voices carried far and everyone could see if the character was happy or sad. There were two main kinds of plays: <strong>comedy</strong> (funny plays that made people laugh) and <strong>tragedy</strong> (sad, serious plays). Our happy-and-sad mask symbols come from these!</p>
<p>The hillside shape made sound bounce perfectly — in some ancient theaters, you can still hear a whisper from the stage all the way in the back row. Clever building AND great stories: that's why theater has lasted 2,500 years.</p>

<h3>🔍 Hands-On: Make a Theater Mask</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>You need:</strong> a paper plate or cardboard, crayons, scissors (grown-up help!), and string or a craft stick.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">Make a Greek theater mask! Choose comedy (big smile) or tragedy (big frown). Cut eye holes, decorate it, and then act out a tiny play for your family using your mask voice — nice and LOUD like a Greek actor.</p>
