1. What would a person like you spend most of his or her time doing in this civilization? (Would you be in school? What would you study there? Working? What job would you have? Playing? What games?)

2. Draw or describe in words what clothing you would wear. (What would it be made out of? Do you think it would be comfortable?)

3. Describe some of the foods you would eat.

4. Describe where would a person like you be living? (Would you be living with your family? With co-workers? With a husband or wife? What would your house be like?)

5. Based on your answers and research would you want to go back in time to live in this civilization? Why or why not?

6. Where did you get your information? (List the books or websites used.)
