Early River Valley Civilization – Group Project
Goal: You and your group have just been hired on as real estate agents for ERVC Realty. Your first assignment is to sell property in the ERVC you have been assigned. Your goal is to make someone want to live in your river valley over one of the others!
Directions:
1. Create an advertisement (poster or electronic), using examples from (1) of the major early river valleys. Mesopotamia, Indus, China or Egypt
2. Each ad must address at least of 3 of the following characteristics about your civilization:Geography Economy(Trade) Social Structure Record KeepingReligion Government Advanced Technology
3. Use iMovie or Animoto to create a digital advertisementa. Or you may use classroom supplies a create a poster on paper
4. Groups may be 1-3 people a. Everyone will join Ms. Armani’s Google Classroomb. Each person needs to save their characteristic information & images on a Google Doc in
their Google Drivec. Remember to share the Google Doc with their group with editing rights
5. Fill out a survey (each partner needs to fill out a survey how the group worked together on the project)
The final product must include:
• A slogan summarizing your civilization’s most outstanding feature• 3 catchy statements describing positive aspects of the civilization (one for each characteristic
you choose)• appropriate images and art (fair use only)
You must use words AND pictures to advertise your civilization. You may also upload appropriate music. But remember – this is an advertisement!! Just saying that a civilization “has a polytheistic religion” is BORING – be creative in how you word everything… Make it exciting!
