How Would You Survive? GrolierEducational, 1995 (CD-ROM, Mac, Win).
This program allows students to explore three ancient civilizations: Egyptian, Viking, and Aztec. A character in each civilization acts as a guide to give excellent program instructions and is accessed easily during the program to
clarify program features. There is a game format component that reviews facts at three different levels.

Imagination Express. Destination Pyramids. Edmark Corporation, 1996 (CD-ROM, Mac, MS-DOS). This program allows students to create stories of exploration, adventure, and daily life in Ancient Egypt. Using picture stamps and animations, students create an electronic book to explore a language written with
pictures instead of letters. Sounds can be imported or pasted in.  Depending on the grade level of the user, additional features are
available such as writing, editing, recording music and sound, and interactive sessions.

1.) Students will research an ancient civilization using modern resources, then select an area on which to focus. Each student will prepare a travel brochure for this area, including a map, a drawing or two of important places or monuments, a paragraph about the importance of this area in ancient times, and a description of the climate of the area. To sell this tour, students should employ modern advertising techniques to "sell" this tour to potential clients.

2.) Students make a map showing both ancient and modern boundaries and trade routes. Students demonstrate how trade routes played a role in the development of the eastern Mediterranean through a written report. 

3.) In cooperative groups, students research, write, and produce a book on an assigned culture. The book will contain chapters on geography, politics, economics, religion, and social structure. Students present a group report on their culture outlining significant findings and influences on today's society. The report should include visual aids and is to be a cooperative effort.
