Directions:

 * Determine which question you have been assigned.
 * Answer the question using your textbook and class resources. You may choose to use a table or bullet points - use the format that will be the easiest to read and understand by your classmates. Be sure to cite your sources.
 * Very brief, informal parenthetical references are enough. For example, "Ban Zhao, a Chinese woman living in the classical era, wrote a book providing directions to her daughters on how to be a good wife." (Handout - Conditions of Women in the Classical Civilization) The purpose of the citation is to allow your classmates to look back at their work to find information.
 * Include graphics (maps, pictures, etc) from the internet to add visual interest to your page. Be sure to cite or link to your sources.
 * When you are finished, explore each other's work. Choose 2 other topics and leave comments for them in the "Discussion" area of their page. (look at the top of the page for the link!) Your comment should add more information on the topic.
