The earliest civilizations of mankind all have certain similarities.  Five characteristics that we use to define a civilization are:
  • A system of government (laws and rulers)
  • A stable food supply (agriculture, trade, and livestock)
  • Social levels (nobility, peasants, etc.)
  • Specialization of labor (jobs in the society)
  • A culture that includes art, architecture, religion, and music
In this project you will be exploring one of the most ancient civilizations:
  • Egypt
  • Mesopotamia
  • India
  • China
You will be put in a cultural exploration group which will study one of the four civilizations.  Within your group you will serve as a specialist in one area of the civilization.  Your job will be to research that part of your assigned civilization and work with your group to produce:
  • a research report
  • a poster
  • a computer assisted presentation
  • a website
Once you have been assigned your group and your speciality you can proceed to the page for your civilization.  Happy exploring!
