http://projects.cbe.ab.ca/glendale/showcase/utopia/class_structure.html  website put together by another 6th grade classroom.  Probably accurate, but not reliable.

http://www.greeka.com/ancient-greece.htm authors appear to be hobbyists; good if you are planning a trip to Greece and might want some back ground info, but not reliable for historical content.  There are several members, and the ones I checked had not listed any educational background.

* I cannot verify credibility or source of authorship. If you find it, send it to me,

* For now, I do NOT recommend this site;  http://www.uchicago.edu/ THIS is what University of Chicago's site address looks like. 

* I am not sure who Penelope is...and I can't find 'Thayer' on staff at Univ. of Chicago
