Ancient Civilizations PowerPoint Presentation Assignment



Ancient Civilizations PowerPoint Presentation Assignment

Task:

You will teach the class about what the 8 Features of Civilization looked like in your ancient civilization. For each Feature of Civilization find one artifact and describe it in a PowerPoint presentation. Tell the class any other important information about that Feature of Civilization that may not be obvious from the artifact.

Procedure:

1. Read the textbook section(s) about your civilization so you understand the main ideas about it. As you read, keep a 3-entry journal in your notes that looks like this:

|Important Quotes |Explanation |Feature of Civilization |

Egypt: p. 24-33

China: p. 59-65

Indus River: 52-58

2. After you read, answer the end-of-section questions for the textbook section(s) about your assigned civilization.

3. Look online for additional information and pictures of artifacts to include in your PowerPoint presentation. You may also use pictures from your textbook: Ms. Hall can scan the pictures in for you if you tell her what image to use.

4. As you find an image, insert it into the PowerPoint template and type in notes explaining what the artifact is and how it relates to that Feature of Civilization.

5. You should also include a MAP and TIMELINE for your civilization.

Resources:

You can use any of these websites. YOU MAY NOT LOOK AT ANY OTHER WEBSITES DURING CLASSTIME, though you may do whatever original research you care to at home on your own time.
