As you have learned in this course, ancient world civilizations and cultures have had great influence on modern society. Even those civilizations that have ceased to exist seem to have as great an influence on us as those who are still in existence. The Roman and Chinese empires are examples of cultures with significant impact.

For this assignment, you will research these two civilizations in the time periods discussed in your textbook, focusing in on their most valued contributions, the fallout from their ancient decline, and how their influence is felt in the modern world. Your information should be delivered in a narrated slideshow/oral presentation and accompanying a 2-3 page paper. The slideshow should be approximately seven to ten slides. Examples include YouTube, Visme, and VoiceThread (all with free trials or student editions).
