In this activity, you’ll take on the role of a historian. Your area of expertise is ancient civilizations. You’ve been approached by a high school to create a presentation for a social studies classroom. The teachers want the presentation to show how past civilizations in the region of your choice are relevant to that region in the world today. You will need to spend some time researching and organizing information for this presentation.
Part A
Choose the region that you would like to investigate. You can pick ancient Mesopotamia or ancient Egypt. Write down the name of the civilization you selected in the answer space. Then, make a research plan by identifying three to four basic categories that you’re going to investigate. Write down the categories you want to research. Some examples include geographic features, economy, leaders, religions, social structure, language, writing, architecture, innovations, and government.
As you select your categories, keep in mind that they should lead to connecting the ancient past with the present. For example, if you select the category geographic features, you may ask these questions:
Why were waterways such as the Tigris and Euphrates, and the Nile important in the past? How are they important now?
Are historical or current borders the same? Are they different?
Or if you select religion, you might consider the following questions:
How important was religion in ancient civilizations?
What did people believe and practice?
How important are these religions in modern society?

Now you will begin your research. Use the table to fill in the information you gather while researching the region you chose. An example is provided.
During your research, be sure to select reliable sources and collect the information needed to cite your sources. Take notes for your presentation text and look for images, movies, sound, and other media that you could include. Record the links to these resources in the table.
