Over the next couple of days, your team will be creating a PowerPoint presentation to document the Ancient Greece Civilization. Each group can use two laptop computers at a time. You will use the same number laptop each time, and should save your work on the laptop assigned to you at the end of each class. Mr. D. will also try to save your PowerPoint presentation to his file at the end of each class.
Each member of your group must work together to create an introduction slide or set of slides that introduces Ancient Greece and give a short background on and history.
Mr. D. will assign each team one of the categories below. Your team must work together to create a slide or set of slides to document your category.

Greek Religion and Mythology played a very important role in Greek society. Each member of your group must create a slide or set of slides telling about a Greek god, goddess, or Greek myth of their choice. Each member must choose a different god, goddess or myth. You will need to take turns using the computer to complete all slides. While each member of the group must be responsible for their own slide, you may help each other as needed.
Finally, each member of your group must work together to create a credits page. This page should list each member’s name and identify which slides he or she created.
You may use your textbook, books available in the class, encyclopedias, and the internet to obtain your information. This paper is available as a webpage with links to each category and to Greek Religion and Mythology. You can access it by going to Mr. D’s homework page.
