Know/Understand

• Research a person or civilization in ancient history that involves the Mediterranean Sea.  Prepare a story about that person/civilization and tell us the story on a video uploaded to our Vanguard YouTube channel.  We'll watch them in class.  You can act, dress up, provide pictures, etc.  Keep your videos short (3-4 minutes) and do not bore us.  

FUN FACT:
