      Go to your local library. Ask a librarian to assist you in finding age appropriate materials. For example, National Geographic has a series for children titled "National Geographic Countries of the World" that provides information and photos for many countries, including Greece. These books will be located in the Children's Nonfiction or Reference section of the library.

      Find information about Greece in an encyclopedia, Encyclopedia Britannica for example. The encyclopedia is a good place to start researching, because the information will be basic and not as detailed, and easy for a sixth grader to interpret. Look in the index of the "G" volume of the encyclopedia to find Greece.
