Description
Introduction
You will demonstrate what you have learned in the mythology and religion level of the campaign by composing a codex (slideshow) on a topic that correlates with the mythology and religion level to embark on the next level of the campaign. You will analyze a specific culture (any from your travel in the current level) at a specific time prior to 1700 AD and discuss one religion that exists/existed in that culture at that time, share important aspects of the religion, the religion’s creation myth (how the universe and humans were created), and analyze how the religion affected that culture at that time in respect to the humanities (science/technology, art, music, or literature). The ability to analyze, extrapolate, and share data/information will be key in any industry as it shows the ability for critical and independent thinking. Likewise, it shows the development of soft skills such as using computerized presentation software, creating files, documenting source information, and being able to organize information in a coherent manner. This will serve you well once you master the TSTC realm and enter the workforce realm.
Objectives
In this assignment you, the traveler, will:
Articulate how these works in the humanities express the values of the individual and society within an historical context and social context.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the influence of religion, philosophy, and the arts on cultural experiences.
Demonstrate an awareness of the creative process and why humans create.
Demonstrate critical thinking skills (CT), such as creative thinking, innovation, and inquiry, and analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information.
Demonstrate communication skills (COM) such as effective development, interpretation, and expression of ideas through written and visual communication.
Summarize key aspects of mythology, extrapolate how myth and religion shaped the cultures that practiced them, and detect how religion influenced the scope of the humanities for centuries to come.
Create a mini slideshow for specific culture so that they can see religion in multiple forms of the humanities (artwork, literature, music) which will help students to realize there is more than just the religion they practice in the world, and that there are others whose beliefs are just as valid as their own.
Assignment
You can embark on the next level of your journey in the humanities by showing you have mastered Module 1. To conquer this module, you must present your findings showing you have learned and interacted with elders from ancient civilizations and understand their religious practices. Only by understanding how religion is central to their lives will you be able to take those tools to the next level of the course with science and technology and see how religion also shaped their technology.
To present your findings, you will upload a slideshow presentation into Canvas for grading for the Elder (instructor).
The slide show will have a minimum of 15 slides and a maximum of 20 slides including a title slide, table of contents slide, separate section slides, summary slide, closing slide, MLA citation slide(s)
The slideshow will have a minimum of 10 images.
Images are to be relevant to the content.
The slides will be neat in nature.
Minimum font size 18 on all content.
Use of concise phrasing as opposed to full sentences or paragraphs.
The text will not have images or background covering it where it cannot be deciphered.
You will embed audio/video or a script into your presentation or upload a separate audio /video or a script file and submit it via Canvas for grading.
If audio is used it must be a minimum of 3.0 minutes and a maximum of 8.0 minutes.
