= Project 1.1 = This project is worth 50 points and will be done in pages. You are going to make a pro brochure for both Plato and Aristotle. Below is the layout for the brochure, but you must change it to fit the requirements that I provide.



Guidelines: -This must fit in the Pro Brochure document. It should be no more than one page. The works cited will be your second page. -You must have four sources, none of which can be wikipedia. They must be cited in MLA format using easybib.com to complete it. -The brochure must have the essential information and there should be no evidence of copy and paste. -You can put the information in any order, but it must all be there. Try not to stray too far from the original Pro Brochure. -Use complete sentences.

Requirements: 1. You must have a picture of the individual you choose. 2. You must have his name and a brief description of who he is (i.e.- Mr. Ching is a History teacher at Minarets high school.) 3. You must list his life span (when he was born and when he die). 4. You must give two quotes from this person and explain what each quote means. 5. __For Plato__: Explain the Allegory of the cave in your own words starting with the headline **Allegory of the Cave**. Explain what he meant by, "Philosopher Kings" and why did he think they would be valuable. __For Aristotle__: Explain what he meant by saying, "Man by nature is a political animal." Give a brief (three sentence summary) of what Aristotle was trying to say in //Politics//. 6. For both: Please write a four sentence minimum paragraph about how Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates influenced the politics of Western Civilization. 7. Write two sentences on how Greco-Roman thought differs from Judeo-Christian thought.

=Project 1.2- Democratic Influences Diagram=

You are going to create a diagram that outlines the influences we have discussed in class. You will use the information you have on your wiki using assignments, the first project, and vocabulary as a source. You must come up with two influences for each subject. You may be creative with the diagram but you must follow the instructions. Here are the subjects:

1. Greece and the 3 philosophers 2. Rome 3. Judaism 4. Christianity

-You must give two ways that each subject has influenced Western Democracy. -You must screen shot the diagram and paste it on your wiki before sending it to me.

It cannot be the same but it must look SIMILAR to this:
