Ancient Civilizations

Our class has been talking a lot about Ancient Civilizations. Due on Thursday, we will be turning in a small poster highlighting ways these civilizations impacted our modern society. Students can chose to research Egypt, Greece, or the Mayans.

Ancient Egyptians are credited with inventing paper, irrigation systems, and eye make-up. They also made contributions to the worlds of architecture and astronomy. Ancient Greece had the first democracy and theater. The first Olympics were held in Ancient Greece. They also made many great contributions to philosophy and war fare. Ancient Mayans impacted the math world as well as astronomy.
