How does daily life appear to have changed and stayed the same over the waves of civilizations?
• Assignment 4 (Final Assignment): For this portion of the project, you’re going to bring together the first three sections into a final project that answers the questions below. You will have some flexibility in how you put together this final product. o Overall Goals: How do your sources represent the civilizations you’ve chosen? What questions do your sources answer and which do the sources not answer? How do these sources reflect the ways in which civilization changed between first to second and second to third wave civilizations? Are sources from one civilization easier to work with than others? Incorporate the strengths and weaknesses you’ve identified in Assignments 2 and 3 when discussing your sources. Thinking as a historian, how do these sources help you to tell the story of these civilizations? Do these sources connect your civilizations in any way in terms of change and continuity? Be sure to incorporate what these sources tell you about daily life. How does daily life appear to have changed and stayed the same over the waves of civilizations? Which class(es) of society do your sources seem to represent? o Format: You are required to incorporate 1,200 words of text, as well as visuals for all of your primary sources (where applicable). You must include a thesis which identifies whether your sources indicate more areas of change or continuity as civilization has progressed from first to third wave. You may construct a traditional essay or you may choose to be more creative. You could format the project as a travel brochure, a website, a blog post, travel memoir, museum/exhibit display, field notes, etc.
