The Gordon Bell Museum of Ancient Civilizations considers a wide variety of
disciplines when it comes to creating an exhibit. We have chosen your
group to design this exhibit because each member has experience in each of the
following areas of study:
(Click on a role to skip to the description)
M. McGill asks that group members each read a description of the roles, to
find out what the museum requires from each discipline. Once the roles
have been read over, the group can either choose to share the roles, or assign
them to individuals.
You will have three full periods to complete the web research necessary for
creating this exhibit. If you decide to share roles, M. McGill suggests
using half a period for each role for the first 2 days, and using the final day
to find any extra information that has not yet been found.
There will be 10 minutes set aside at the end of each period for groups to
consult with each other on how the project is going so far, and what needs to be
accomplished in the next day.
Here are the different roles. Once you have decided how to assign the
roles, click on click on TASK to continue
