Project Scenario
The Odyssey, a time-machine, lands just outside
your classroom. You and your classmates are taken aboard, and Captain Kirk
offers to take you on a journey back in time, to the days of the ancient
North American civilizations. He tells you that your Time Machine tickets
are only good for the following destinations: the Aztec Empire, the Mayan
Empire, the Anasazi Empire, or the Hopewell Mound Builder Empire. He says
that you will be living in your chosen empire for several years, before he
will be able to bring you back home in the Odyssey.
This is an opportunity that you and your classmates
can't resist! Now for the big decision: which of the four ancient
civilizations will you choose as your home? You and your team will need to
investigate each of the four ancient cultures, to come to a thoughtful
decision about which one you would prefer as your home.
As you explore the features of each culture, gather 4
- 5 images of visual attractions that time-travel tourists of the future
would not want to miss. Store these in your team folder for your final
presentation.
Which ancient civilization will you decide to visit? Will you live among
the people of the Aztec, Mayan, Anasazi, or the Hopewell Mound Builder
empires?
