Ancient Greece Projects
Directions:
You must complete the first three assignments. Once these are complete, you can choose
which assignments from the back side of this sheet that you would like to attempt. By
completing the first three assignments, you’ll only earn 60 points total, so you’ll have to choose
at least one more project assignment to earn beyond a 60.
Project directions are given in detail, but please ask if you need clarification about how to do
anything on this assignment list. Project values are given beside of each project assignment
description.
NOTE – Completing an assignment does not guarantee you earn the points assigned as a value
for that assignment. Simple completion is not what I ask for. The expectation is that the
assignments you complete are completed to the best of your ability and that you turn in high
quality work. If you turn in work that is not of superior quality, you should not expect a
superior grade.
