= = =** Assessment 2: Ancient Civilization Group Research Assignment **= =** Attention new due date: Thursday 10th November ( **** These need to be presented on this day). **= = = **__ The //Virtual Amazing Race// __** There are no better experts on what teenagers find most fascinating about the ancient civilizations than YOU. Using this expert knowledge, your group will create the ultimate virtual race through one of the ancient civilizations by developing a wiki site from scratch. This wiki will be aimed at Year 10 students. The aim is to make the wiki as interesting as possible while being extremely educational as the same time. The wiki must be designed as a virtual race, where students who use it compete against one another to finish a series of challenges/activities/etc first as a way of learning about an ancient civilization. What kind of challenges could you set? It’s up to you! Whatever they are, they need to be entirely ICT based. For this to work, your wiki MUST provide a lot of information about your ancient civilization. However, it’s entirely up to your group what topics are covered in this virtual amazing race. Users of your wiki should be able to complete it in 6 sessions. Processes: (1.) Your group needs to decide what areas/topics of your ancient civilization will be covered in your virtual amazing race. There should be at least two per person in the group. Each topic needs to have its own page on the wiki. (2.) You need to become experts in each of those topics by thoroughly researching them (3.) These topics then need to be incorporated into the wiki so that they can be used as part of the virtual race. This means your group needs to figure out how the race will work and what challenges need to be completed along the way. Topics: (If you have another civilization you would like to research, please see Miss van Noordenburg for further discussion).
