The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.

I would expect a single student to take about ten weeks, with a weekly goal (perhaps a little faster) of completing one section.

There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.

The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.

There is also a list of civilizations that have an abundance of information available on line.

This is a 40-page set of comprehension questions to accompany the Steck-Vaughn textbook "History of Our World: Volume 2 - The Modern World".

For each chapter, there is one page of multiple choice questions and one page of short answer questions.

Also, there is an answer key included at the end of the file.
