Dynasty

are a minimum of two required components for this project.
1. Everyone must complete a (minimum) five-paragraph report about their topic. Included in the report should information about the major events, people, advances, and technology should be organized into the report. Of course, all dates and historically significant information should be included in your report.
We will be developing thesis statements about our topics. You should be
thinking about what is more important or essential about your
research. You will use your focusing questions to outline and
craft your essay! 2. Additionally, once the reports are done, students will create an artifact related their topic/dynasty. *Artifacts can include reproductions of any relevant item, maps, pieces of art, weaponry, architecture, or other cultural entity.
