** “Campaign for the Most Fascinating Ancient” **
 * World History Honors **
 * **//__ Essential Question: __//** // Who was the most fascinating figure of the Ancient World? // ||

You must choose an individual who you feel is the MOST interesting of the Ancient World. Remember, whether you think a person was “good” or “bad” is not the issue here. You are focusing on how fascinating the life, actions, thoughts, etc. of an individual is for students of history.
 * Background Information: ** The Ancient World was a fascinating and often brutal place. As the first civilizations were established and humans set out to create states, religions, philosophies, arts, architecture, fighting techniques, economic systems, etc. they were constantly breaking new ground. Throughout this process a number of individuals emerged who were larger than life, many of whom you may find interesting.
 * Your Task: ** You will create a presentation to convince your classmates that the individual you chose really is the most fascinating person of the ancient world. In order to accomplish this, you will need solid evidence and a convincing presentation.

 * Planning Your Project: ** You may choose a story board application on your iPad for the planning of your project. Here are several suggestions:
 * Poplet
 * LucidChart
 * Mindjet
 * Simplemind

As with your formal essays, your presentation will be composed of an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each “body paragraph” must be focused on a different argument. It must then be supported with **__at least__** __**three**__ pieces of evidence. Each piece of evidence will be given verbally during your presentation and your sources will be cited in your Works Consulted page. Additionally, each piece of evidence must have a corresponding image on your visual presentation. **As always, remember to fully explain HOW your evidence proves the point you are trying to make!**
 * Presenting Your Project: ** You may choose how you present your project (but it must in some way follow the structure described in the next section).

v ** Your presentation should be 6-9 minutes in length. A 5 point deduction will be made for every minute above or below this mark your group falls. ** v ** Each person is responsible for contributing during the presentation in a significant and equitable manner. Please note that this is a group project and the group shares a grade, so everyone is responsible for preparing and presenting ALL of the information! ** v ** One note card will be allowed per person during the presentation (points may be deducted from your grade for directly reading from the card. This will be discussed in greater detail before the actual presentations) ** v ** If one of your group members is not doing their work let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! There is little I can do if you wait to tell me until the last minute! ** v ** Each group must be ready to present on the due date, NO EXCEPTIONS! If a group member is absent, you are still responsible for presenting (students who are absent when their group presents will present after school, on their own, to an audience that they must provide!) **
