Civilizations
and Societies
Instructions:
Throughout this course and school year you will
study about several civilizations and societies that have shaped many cultures
that exist today. You are going to
research one of these civilizations and “teach” the class about its
culture.
Select
a civilization or society to research.
The civilization can be from prehistoric times up until the
Renaissance. You are going to research this
civilization or society for the following themes:
- Culture
- Traditions
- Arts
- Literature
- Dress
- Food
- Customs
- Religion
- Government
- Military
- Family Structures
Once
you have researched the civilization, select pictures that represent these
aspects of the culture. The picture
should reflect what you have learned and researched. Once the pictures have been chosen, you will
cover the outside of your notebook with them, creating a visual image that
depicts aspects of the civilization. You
must also do an oral presentation where you will tell about the pictures you
have chosen and what they say about the civilization. In
order to receive full credit you must have the following:
- You must cover eight out of ten of the items listed above
- The civilization must be within the time parameters given above.
- You must have NO LESS than ten pictures
- You must be able to explain each picture and how it pertains to the topic
- Make it neat and creative
- Little effort means a lower grade
- Your oral report must be clear; you should know the material. Points will be taken off it seems you are unprepared or not knowledgeable.
Points will be awarded for the following:
- Creativity
