Core 4 students will research to build knowledge around different Ancient Civilizations, specifically Egypt, India, and China. Through this research, teams of students will come to understand ancient religions, and what those religions look like today. We will accomplish this through various hands-on activities, guest speakers, and team research/mini presentations. Through this process, we will come to understand how these ancient religions are now the center of wars and religious persecution, causing people to seek refuge away from their homes. Ultimately, our goal is to use our knowledge to affect positive change in the world by sending soap to those affected by religious persecution/refugees at home and abroad. Students will also have a choice in what kind of narrative writing they create to accompany their soap.
