Ancient Greece travel brochure

Your city-state wants to attract visitors. To do this, you need to design an online brochure that will highlight all the great things about your city-state. The members of your group will be responsible for one section each. Possible sections are:

  • geography and weather
  • entertainment
  • people
  • government
  • art
  • theater 

One person in each group will provide a hand drawn image depicting something about your city-state and one paragraph describing an aspect of your city state.

The paragraphs should be typed into your personal wikis, and then transfered to your city-state wiki. Your drawings may be completed on paper and then photographed, or you may create a drawing in the Paint program.

This project is due February 20.
