Roman Time Capsule



Roman Time Capsule

Assignment: Working in groups we will construct a virtual time capsule for Ancient Rome in the form of a Powerpoint presentation. Each group will work on one aspect of Roman civilization, assembling a collection of Powerpoint slides of “artifacts” from their assigned topic. There will be groups working on each of the following areas:

1. Political Achievements

2. Roman Society

3. Roman Economy and Technology

4. Roman Culture, Art and Music

5. Religion (both Roman mythology and early Christianity)

Important:

Follow Directions!

All library / research based projects are required to have a list of all sources used. The expectation is that you will apply those things that were taught during the Greek Citation project.

Each slide needs to be an image.

Notes need to be in the note field, in your own words in bullet points.

Your name needs to be in the note field of each and every slide that you made. Although this is a group project, the grade is based on individual performance.

Do not put any background or animations into slides until the show is completely merged and has been approved by me.

Your group needs to be ready to merge with at least a half hour remaining in the last class period that we are in the LMC, no excuses or exceptions. Therefore think about how much more you need to accomplish in order to stay on schedule. If you find that you are not on schedule, you need to do extra work outside of class.
