CIVILIZATION MAP PROJECT In a group, create your very own ancient civilization! Now that you’ve learned all about geography and the features of civilization, it’s time to put your expertise to the test!

Task: 1. Create a civilization map!

Location: when designing your civilization map, consider the physical features needed for protection, food supply, access to trade or water, etc. You may choose a real location in the world, alter one to suit your needs, or create a new one of your own!

Features: after designing the physical geography of your civilization map, consider what features you will need to help your civilization sustain itself and continue to develop.

Arts & culture : (e.g. statue, museum) Commerce : (e.g. market, trade routes) Government & social structure : (e.g.

town square, city hall, workplaces) Knowledge transfer & technology : (e.g.

schools, workshops, media) Living/ working space (e.g. houses &

farms) Public works : (e.g. roads, bridges,

arena) Religion : (e.g. temple)

*Your map should be fully coloured, neatly labeled, and easy to understand. It can take the form of a poster board, 3D model or digital display. Please see for approval before beginning!

2. Create a professional digital presentation Introduction : civilization name, location and general concept Location : describe the physical geography and WHY you chose those features Features : describe the other features of your civilization and explain WHY you chose

to include them and design and place them how you did Connection : explain how your civilization is similar or different than examples we’ve

studied
