Early Civilizations Project • Task: You and your group members will be responsible for researching and reporting to the class on your civilization • You will be creating a group power point (30 points) • Due: Monday, September 16 • Civilizations to choose from: • 1.Egyptians • 2.Indus River Valley • 3.Mesopatmia • 4.China • Form groups(3-4) 7-8 total • Choose topics

  19. Early Civilizations Projects • For your assigned topic, your report should include information from the following categories: • Location (map) and time frame of civilization • Defining characteristics of the civilization

  20. Early Civilizations Projects • Use your textbook for the remainder of class and tonight to begin gathering information. (take notes on your civilization)

  21. Civilizations Develop • Civilization: highly organized social order and complex culture • All started near rivers 1. Drinking 2. Farming 3. Transportation The Nile River

  22. Early River Civilizations

  23. Characteristics of a Civilization • Food Surplus-(agriculture-based) • Organized government • Complex religion • Job specialization • Social classes • Arts & architecture • Public works • Writing-Calendars • Use of Metals
