12/3 Today in class I want you to work on finding your current event article that deals with Hinduism. I have gotten some emails about difficulties that people are having with finding articles. Some hints that I have are to check out the websites of nationally circulating publications, such as the New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine, or National Geographic, among others. The article can deal with many different aspects of Hinduism in the current world. There are issues with the Caste System, copyrighting yoga, challenges between Hinduism and other religions, as well as how the Caste System works in other countries that are in the news currently. Try to find something that is interesting to you! I want the first paragraph to be a summary of the article. What was the main point? What is the conflict? I would like the second paragraph to be your interpretation of why this issue is important? Why has this story made the news? Why is it interesting to you? What surprised you about the article? At the end of class I would like you to send me a link to your article and any work you have done so far (notes, writing, etc.) in the drop box in 1st class.The final copy will be due on Monday.

Have a great weekend.

Part 1 In your groups I would like you to view the images and work as Anthropologists. All of the artifacts in each group come from the same areas of the world, I would like you to decide if the things that you see indicate to you the existence of a civilization? What clues are there that support such an idea? Please think back to our discussions and vocabulary work from the last few classes to evaluate each picture and what significance it may have. What clues about geography are present? Does it appear that geography played a role in the success of this civilization? Part 2 In your groups, discuss what you have observed in your pictures. As each member explains what they found, the others should look at the picture that is being discussed. Together I would like you to present some of the achievements of the civilization you have been assigned. What was most impressive? What other artifacts would you want to find to make the picture of this civilization clearer?

9/22- 9/24

- A complete explanation of the artifact and its relevance to your topic. - An explanation of how the artifact was used in Egyptian life. - A visual interpretation of your artifact. - A complete bibliography of the resources you used for your explanation.
 * Cultural Artifact Project:** Once we have split into small groups you will be charged with creating a small classroom museum of sorts. In each group you will be creating and explaining different Egyptian artifacts that demonstrate your expertise in that particular area of Egyptian culture. Each person in the group will be responsible for providing at least one artifact with explanation to the group museum. The presentations can either be in the form of a poster or a keynote presentation and must include the following for each artifact:

 * Questions to answer completely:**

1. What happened to the Marsh Arabs?

2. Why would historians, archaeologists and anthropologists be interested in the way they live?

3. Look at the pictures, how are they similar? Is this just the best way to build shelter in that area or would you think this was something that has been passed down for generations and generations? Either way, what does that say about the Ancient Sumerians?

4. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? What would you like to know more about?
