Process
You will work in a group of seven and be assigned to a specific ancient civilization; either Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, or Rome. In your group, you will brainstorm and divide the stories amongst you. The year span in these ancient civilizations is wide so make sure all of your stories are about events that happened around the same time. Feel free to help other members in your group with ideas but you will be responsible for your own story.
There must be at least one story on each of the following:
-
Government
-
Religion
-
Major Event
Your group must also pick at least 4 of the following to write on:
-
Fashion
-
New Invention
-
Food
-
Obituaries
-
Weather
-
Medicine
-
Entertainment
-
An additional Government
-
An additional Religion
-
An additional Major Event
-
A topic approved by the teacher
After each individual story is finished, the group will then compile the news stories into one newspaper using Microsoft Publisher. This newspaper will then be copied, distributed to the class, and presented during class time.
All of the information you will need for this assignment can be found on the pa gelinked below. Be sure to efficiently use your time in class to be able to complete this project on time.
