As part of our year 10 Humanities course, we are able to research a project of our own choice, and to create an outcome to showcase at a final exhibition in Term 4.

The topic that I have chosen to research is the economies of different civilisations through time. We have each looked at one civilisation and its economy, and will turn it into a project that highlights how they work in their own unique ways. 

Our main focus area is the currency of these civilisations and how it develops over time. The civilisations we have specifically chosen to look at are Imperial China, the Ottoman Empire, ancient Greece and India before colonisation. In order for this to make sense, we are going to give context and background to each of the currencies and histories of the civilisations.

The steps we have completed so far are that we first combined our cards which were economics and history into our project and brainstormed some ideas of how to combine them. The idea we came up with was focusing on civilisations in history and their money systems and currency. After we did that we all chose two civilisations each and started researching on them. We used this in the annotated research assessment. Through this research we decided to remove some civilisations and are now focusing on around 4. 

Our plan for continuing our project includes is to plan out our exhibition stall. Current plans include some choose your own adventure type stall with cards, live market, or gameshow of some sort. Our plan is to have some form of presentation beyond just the retelling of information, and so powerpoints and walls of text are out of the question. Going forward, we will be splitting up and coming up with as many GOOD ideas as possible before we next regroup. Then we would begin construction of the stall, as well as any other parts that are necessary to the stall.
