New Date for the "Create Your Own Civilization Project"

Hello World History students,

I just wanted to let you all know the new final date for your "Create Your Civilization Project" will be Friday, October 9. Also, be ready for a general quiz on Chapter 2, all sections, including the documentaries you were supposed to watch on topdocumentaryfilms.com. You can use the questions you were to have answered on Wednesday as a partial review. Read and study the last 2 sections of the chapter (China and India), they will be discussed in class. There is no final date for the quiz as of yet. I will let you know in class.

I also wanted to mention that a lot of the work I have already received on the "Civilizations" project has been excellent. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

World History Assignment: October 1, 2009

Hello girls,

For today's assignment I would like you to focus on your "Create Your Own Civilization" Project. Keep up your research and organize a way to be able to communicate with the rest of the girls in your group. It is imperative that you think about all the aspects that entail the development of a civilization. Use what you are reading in your textbooks about the "Ancient River Valley Civilizations" to base your arguments upon when I ask you as a group. Remember, this is a competition. At the end of the day I want you to email me the work that you've done so far so that I can see the progress that you've made and give you suggestions on how to proceed.

Mucho éxito a todas!
