The task of your group is to use your textbook and Internet resources to discover as much as you can about the culture you were assigned.  Record the information on this graphic organizer.  The information that your group finds will be used to create a chapter in a non-fiction ebook, using PowerPoint, which will be presented to our reading/technology buddies.   As a class, we will develop a table of contents, a foreword, an index, a bibliography, and a glossary of important terms.
