STEP 2:
Now to do a bit more research...we are going to take a look into the past. You are going to do a bit more research on some historical societies that had a large impact on history. We have talked about some in class, but now we are going to focus on several specific ones. Choose one of the following societies below with your assigned group to complete this part of the WebQuest.
Once you have selected a society to compare to, think about a way in which these ancient societies and the 'future' society of the the world of Divergent may be the same or different. You have two options for this week's assignment.
Option A. Make Up Your Own
After you've conducted your research, decide based on 5 factions you'd create for that society. They should be based on the principles, way of life, and beliefs,etc.of that society. Create a name and a symbol to represent each of give. Your group should work to agree on the five you choose. Make sure to be specific about why you chose that group and what part of that society fits that need, etc.
Option B. Same Five Factions
If your group keeps the same names, make sure to use evidence from your research to support how they Be creative! Present your five groups in any format you want (presentation, slideshow, poster, book, etc.)
Feel free to use other resources - but you can use the ones below as a starting point.
Choose ONE of the following societies:
Ancient Rome
Ancient Egypt
