Welcome to Ancient Civilization! A trip back in time......

Today you are going to plan a vacation package to the Ancient World! You will need to take your tourists on an historic journey through time and space to the most famous structures/landforms in one of the five ancient civilizations of your choice!

There are many things to plan, so let’s get started:

1. You will need to map out your tour! Please create a map to of your civilization and “hand draw” in the route your tour will take. The entire map must be colorful and easy to read so your patrons can see where they will be going! You will need to leave an entire section of your brochure blank to accomplish this requirement.

2. You will also need an itinerary for your group. Remember, your customers need to know where they are going day to day, what they will be seeing, and where they will be staying, add lot’s of detail! The minimum stay for this vacation is 3 days. Therefore, your customers need to be busy sightseeing at all times!

3. You must have a “catchy” name for your Travel Company. Think of something to do with the ancient sites and your name.

4. All of the above requirements will be displayed on the Microsoft Publisher brochure document of your choice!

5. Use the textbook or online resources to help create this project.

B. Culture/People Report

The Culture/People report must address the following:

✓ Religion(s) practiced

✓ Food (staples in the diet of this civilization)

✓ Traditions

✓ The economy (How do people make a living? Is currency used? Who makes up the upper, middle, and lower class?

✓ Government (How is order within the society maintained?)

The Culture/People section of your report must contain at least one paragraph for each subtopic listed above (see check marks).

It may be wise to create a separate page for each subtopic. (Religion, Food, Traditions, Economy, and Government)
