Cheryl B in VA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi, all. It has been a long time since I have been on this board, but I hope you will still help me :001_smile: . I am using The History of the Ancient World to teach my son and one other young man (both 10th grade) in the upcoming school year. I have paired it History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective by The Great Courses. I am using the Study & Teaching Guide for weekly assignments. I would like to add two projects or research paper assignments. I have searched the web for hours for ancient history project assignments and have found a lot geared at sixth grade. Could anyone share what they assigned as an extra project or research paper for ancient history? I would so appreciate assignment instructions that I don't have to think of from scratch. Thank you!

purplelily Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Could you beef up the projects that you found? Have you looked for high school history syllabi on line to find some ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Perhaps you could put the burden of finding the topic on your 10th graders; encourage them to brainstorm some topics and help them narrow down? Help them discover something they find intriguing from the reading/lectures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 There have been a few modern rewrites of myth. O Brother Where Art Thou. Percy Jackson. James Joyce's Ullyses. What about having them retell one episode from the Odyssey in a modern setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Btw Crusty's Waterbeds is one of my favorite Percy Jackson chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
