Introduction
Hello,
We study history so that we can understand our own place in the world. We study history so that we can understand the world around us. We study history so that we can deal with this world as wise men and women and not mere pawns of those who do understand the world. We study history so that we will interact with the world as full human beings instead of as animals who merely react or as vegetables who merely are acted upon.
Task
A large group of ancient tourists is planning a trip. As members of a travel agency, you have been brought it to "sell a trip" to your own ancient civilization. Not only do you want to land this big account and prove your culture the very best destination, you are also a proud citizen. You want to encourage tourism, to show this group of early tourists all your civilization has accomplished.
Your group will be assigned one of the following cultures to promote:
- Mesopotamia
- Ancient Egypt
- Ancient China
- Ancient India
- Ancient Greece
Each group member will be responsible for three products: a two-page persuasive essay, a section of a Web Page travel brochure and to generate a chronological timeline of the ancient world.
