2. You are going to plan a time travel study-abroad program for a group traveling to your chosen ancient civilization. You will use your imagination to place someone from today’s world into the past so that they can quickly gain as much knowledge of the place and people who existed then. You will report your findings on a group Wiki using WikiSpaces (http://www.wikispaces.com). Each student group will create a group wiki account and will use the wiki to post and share their findings as you research your ancient civilization. You will also use PhotoPeach ([|www.photopeach.com]) to create a slideshow that you will embed into your group wiki. The sign in for PhotoPeach will be the same one you use for the group wiki, because the two products are connected. An example of this project can be viewed at: http://ahexample.wikispaces.com/ Your group will present their wiki and embedded slideshow. You will also bring a food that is representative of your country for this project’s final presentation.

3. **__Your wiki will include the following information:__** > a. Timeline of major events and contributions > b. Major religions practiced > c. Map of civilization/country showing major cities > d. Government/Political system (democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, etc.) > e. Climate > f. Marriage and children facts (age of marriage, typical number of children) > g. Population figures > h. Life expectancy > i. Languages spoken
