Life in Ancient Civilizations

Introduction

Have you ever wondered about ancient civilizations? What was life like thousands and thousands of years ago?

You are about to embark on a journey that will make you find out where people lived, what kind of clothing they wore, what foods they enjoyed, what they did for entertainment, what kind of schools they attended and how they earned a living.

Well, now is your chance to travel back in time to an ancient civilization to explore what life was like.

This WebQuest will challenge you to carefully listen and read some information about everyday life in ancient times so that you can make an animated explainer video about it.

Task

You are going to work in groups of six people so that you can complete the following task collecting and sharing information about everyday life in Ancient Civilizations, such as: China, Egypt, Greece, India, Mesopotamia and Rome.

For this project you will:

  • Read about them and learn about their everyday life.

  • Play YouTube videos about them.

  • Create a video, in which you will inform the student community about your findings. The video must be no longer than 9 minutes and no less than 6 minutes. Be creative!
