Early and Ancient Civilizations

Students are currently working on advertisements for their chosen civilization. These may include the Sumerians or Babylonians of present-day Iraq, Egyptians, Chinese, Ancient Hebrews, Maya, Persians, Greeks or Romans. Other projects emphasize the importance of agriculture and music in civilizations. Students will promote their civilization topic later starting later this week and will strive to convince the class of the value of their civilization by highlighting their main accomplishments and how they impacted our society. If possible, excerpts will be displayed on line.
Students are welcome to place comment boasting about thier civilization here, if desired.

WELL...... Athens is pretty much the most important because if we didn't have democracy where would we be? would we be communist like the Chinese and not be able to make any choices for ourselves? Would we have kings ruling our society and have no say whatsoever on who that king is? Would we have people dying in the streets because of rasist beliefs or social stature? MAYBE. Athens also gave us beautiful sculptures and art work along with poems songs and some of the first plays. Athens was the home to many important scolars that discovered various things that are important to everyday life now.. and last, but definately not least, Athens had a leading role on the ancient olympics that nowadays is important to every country in the world and is seen as the greatest althletic achievement to take part and win an olympic gold metal.

SO, ANCIENT ATHENS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND HAD A LARGE IMPACT ON LIFE ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW.
