Symbols Project
For Unit 2: Government & Politics, we are going to have a project to demonstrate what we learned about Pharaohs, Democracy, and Republic. For this project, you are going to individually design a symbol that showcases connections between each topic. The symbols are going to be designed during class.Each student will be provided a sheet of paper. Markers, sharpies, scissors, tape, and glue are available to you.
- The symbol should contain visual representations of Egyptian Pharaohs, Greek Democracy, and the Roman Republic on one side of your paper. You may want to bring in any pictures from the internet, magazines, or clip art. Otherwise, you will draw the images on your symbol.
- On the other side of the paper, you will write 3 connections. You need to label each connection with the topic and information that it is about. For example, the first connection might look like this, “Egyptian Pharaohs: Temples.” Each connection should be a minimum of 2 sentences in the form of Fact/Fact Commentary.
- Comparison Connection using information that shows similarities between Egyptian Pharaohs
- Contrasting Connection using information that shows different sides (pro and con) of Greek Democracy
- Topic Connection using information that relates the Roman Republic to Pharaohs and/or Democracy
