Greek or Roman Boards
Your project will be a museum-type information display board. The Greek or Roman Board is a visual
display of the important information about the ancient civilization of Greece (or Rome). The board should be
colorful and visually stimulating. You will want to draw the reader’s attention to your display, thus encouraging
them to read and to learn about this wonderful ancient culture.
You will research the information to fill in each section on the Greek (or Roman) culture. You may use
your textbook, as well as other resources, to get your information. The Internet and classroom books make great
resources as well as any National Geographic or other magazines. (See the list of requirements page) There will be
class time for research and written work, but homework will occur also.
