Ancient Greece vs. Ancient Rome
~~~
Research Project
===================================================================
Directions
Based on who you were paired with in Mr. Letendre’s science class, you will create a brochure to
help market your invention by researching how it was used in the ancient world. Today, you will
begin to research the purpose behind some of these inventions, how they were used, and the
influence they had on Greek/Roman culture. Next week, I will show you what the brochure should
include and how it should look, but for now, please focus on collecting all of the information you
need in order to build a compelling argument that explains how these advancements were made.
STEP #1
Please tell me the name of your invention: ___________________________________________
Where did it originate? Circle one:
GREECE
|
ROME
List the name(s) of everyone in your group: __________________________________________
STEP #2
Go to this website (student.teachtci.com) to begin researching your topic. Here is a list of all the
sections that you can explore in order to find out more information about Greek/Roman culture:
Name:_________________________
Date:_______________
Period:_______
Ancient Greece: Greek Architecture (Lesson 29, Section 3)
Ancient Rome: Architecture & Engineering (Lesson 38, Section 3)

*** IMPORTANT ***
Please avoid wikipedia!!! I would like you to get into the habit of using other resources that are
far more reputable. All other resources must be approved by your teacher in order to include that
information as part of your research.

STEP #3
Whenever you quote, paraphrase, or take notes on someone else’s work, you should keep track of the
sources the information came from. This will help you avoid plagiarism when you begin writing.
You can keep track of your sources in a few different ways:
•
Place the author’s name in parentheses after quoted or paraphrased text.
•
Organize your notes under headings with the source information.
•
If using note cards to keep track of information, write the source of the information on
the back of each card.
In addition to the above, you should also create a bibliography.
Please follow along with my instructions as I show you how to cite your sources with this browser extension.
STEP #4
Each member of the group will receive a task based on the information that was gathered during the early
stages of their research (for more info, click here). Once those assignments have been determined, I will
distribute the materials that each group will need in order to decorate their brochure. The list below will
provide each group with some instructions to help them with their display:
