In the Beginning...
Your mission will be to explore the civilization you have chosen using the following topics as your guide. You and your partners will be responsible for creating a Power Point presentation that serves as a tool to help you teach the class about that particular civilization. In addition to the Power Point presentation, you may also use any other methods and resources to help you teach such as videos (Brainpop), a small art project, etc; however, before this step can be taken, the presentation must be completed and checked by Mr. Roy. Your project must begin with a section about Geography (Where is/was it located? What is the climate like? Is it near water?), and then you are free to choose 3 of the following topics to research:
1) Religion and beliefs - What did they believe in? Polytheistic or Monotheistic? Briefly describe customs.
2) Art and Culture - How did they express themselves?
3) Science/Technology - What inventions did they use/create to make their lives easier? (max. 5)
4) History - Briefly describe how the civilization began/ended. What are the major events that occurred?
5) Economy - How do they buy/sell items? Were they traders? Did they have a money system?
6) Everyday/Political life - How did they live? Men vs. Women? Jobs? What was the class structure?
In Addition to this, everyone must end their project by answering the following question:
7) Legacy - How do we remember this civilization? What did they do to make our lives easier?
