Ancient Civilization Museum Project
Today you will need to meet in your Ancient
Civilization groups to decide your action plan for your museum.
You will need to use the group roles in your classroom procedures
to be successful. (See next page)
There will be some required tasks to create for your display
and you will also choose as a group other things to display showing
important aspects of your ancient civilization.
Required Tasks:
 Sign displaying civilization name
o (with lettering that can be read from 6 feet away)
 3-D Map showing
o an outline of the civilization
o major landforms, waterways and cities
 Artifacts of civilization (your choice of which ones)
 Written descriptions describing significance of artifact
Each item that is on display is required to have a description
telling what it is and why it is important to the civilization. You
will need to have facts that show what you have learned by
studying the civilization.
But before you may begin creating the above tasks, your
group needs to have an action plan and have it approved by Mrs.
Ski. (See next page)
There will be a “curator” that is responsible for a section of
the museum and will be assessed for this section. Others may
help and have input, but the responsibility of the section is the
curator’s.
Each of you will need to keep a daily log of your
participation. This will help me to see who is doing what part, and
thus assessing will be fair. It will also be used as a weekly
participation grade.

Brainstorm as a group ideas that you want to display in each
section using the following chart. List exactly what artifacts you
will be displaying in each of the sections. Each section (other then
Geo/Enviro.) needs at least 5 artifacts displayed at the museum.
