Your task:
Recreate 1 significant building from any 2 civilizations we have studied. You will be recreating 2 buildings.
We've studied: Rome, Byzantine Empire, Islam, Sub-Saharan Africa, Aztec, Maya, and Inca. Here's an example: You could recreate a traditional village home (Sub-Saharan Africa), and the Temple of the Cross-see image below (Maya). Or the Colosseum (Rome) and the Hagia Sophia (Byzantine Empire).

Your steps to success:

1. Complete the steps below for your first building before starting on your second.
2. Choose 1 building you want to start building.
3. Sketch by hand the building in your IN. 
4. Write a several sentence explanation about the buildings importance to the civilization and why you chose it.
5. Build it in SketchUp or Minecraft.

Completed the above steps for your first building? Now you can start on your second. Use the same world to build each of the buildings.

Your grade depends on completing the 5 steps above for 2 civilizations.
