 * Geometry: Research the chosen country's dynamics, and the demographic changes due to city growth.

Pictures must show evidence of understanding. 1. What are vertical angles? 2. What is congruency? 3. Where are the straight angles adding to 180 degrees and the measures of angles at a point adding to 360 degrees? 4. Where are the vertical angles that are congruent? 5. Give angle measurements based on congruency.

Overarching Geometric Question: Did you find any mathematic coincidences among any dynamic or demographic information gathered? || Web links - Geometry: 1. Definition of angles - [] 2.

 * Research your chosen country's political culture, and assess the level of democracy and/or authoritarianism in that country.

Presentation must answer the following questions:
 * 1) What does the government of the country look like? Structurally, is it a democratic nation, or an authoritarian nation? If it is a democratic nation, is it a parliamentary system, or a presidential system? Is it a combination of both?
 * 2) In practice, how the government work? How does the executive of that country rule? Can people speak freely? Practice religion freely? Assemble freely? Is there freedom of the press? Do people receive fair trials in court? Overall, think about how your country's political culture works differently in theory than it does in practice.
 * 3) What are the rights of ethnic minorities (i.e. the Tutsis in Rwanda or the Uighurs in China) in your country? What are the rights of religious minorities (i.e. Sunni Muslims in Iran or Christians in Egypt) in your country? What are the rights of women in your country?

Overall, you will need to answer these questions in order to assess democratic nature of your country, based on Dahl's concept of democracy. NOTE: in order to earn a "4," on the Geopolitics portion of the rubric, you will need to also include what your chosen country could do to become more democratic. || Web links - Geopolitics

 * Use what you have learned from this class, Ancient History, Geopolitics, and Geometry to develop your biography
 * Create another Life Map if you like, except for your Egyptian character!
 * Remember, this should be a fun project! Create your own character, bring this person to life! || Web Links - English

 * Consider what Pharaohs did in society and be able to visually and verbally present how they related to common people, what their position in power entailed, and what their relationship to the Gods was.

Glogster must represent answers to the following questions. (other information may be included as long as it is relevant to the topic):

How did they impact Egyptian civilization? What is their legacy? Significance of pyramid? What does the interior/exterior look like?

It will be projected in front of the classroom, and you will give a presentation telling the story of your chosen pharaoh. You may add additional information that your peers may find interesting. Visuals should be appealing. A note card with points you would like to make is allowed. || Web Links-Ancient History 1. Glogster tutorial 2.
