Chapter 2: The Earliest Human Societies
Creating a Multimedia Presentation
Use the Internet or library resources to research an early complex village, such as Catal Huyuk. Jericho is another example of a complex village.
- Create a multimedia presentation that includes:
- information and visuals of the layout of the village and its buildings and structures
- images of artifacts and other evidence of culture
- a map showing the village's location
- text for each slide
- documentation of your sources
