2nd Year Research Paper

Due Date: Thursday, November 8th 2007


You are to write, in your own words, a research paper on one of the following civilizations:

  • Byzantium
  • Ancient Egypt
  • Ancient India
  • Ancient China

Your paper should cover the following aspects (if applicable) of the civilizations: Social stratification and ranking, trade or exchange networks, the presence of luxury and exotic goods (such as the Baltic amber trade), metallurgy, craft specialization, control of food as in agriculture or pastoralism, high population density, monumental architecture, writing system, calendar, centralized rule, military conquests, and armed military force. You must also select one leader from this civilization and include a mini-biography.

Your paper should be 5 pages long with two pictures that do not take up more than ¼ of the page it’s on. The paper must be typed in Times New Roman font, 12 pt. font size, double spaced, with standard margins, and justified alignment.

You will also be required to make a Power Point that is 10 slides long. Each slide must have a picture. You will be judged on creativity. All of the information should come from your research paper.
Under student links you will find a number of resources that will be beneficial.

Mr. Lawslo,
Will we have some time to work on our 5 page report? I think that we should work mostly on it for a while.

Mr.Lawslo,
I agree with Andie. I think you should not give us very many more papers to do since our project is so big. I also wish that we didn't have to do the mini auto-biography.

Hey Amber, don't worry so much our pictures can take up to 1/2 a page and since it's double space! So really, it's only like 2/1/2 pages long! Which is only half a page more than you said you could do! ;)
