Research and Make Decisions
Individual members of each team will use the list of Web sites and other resources
to conduct research and gather visuals for the presentation. Team members will
then come together to share their research and agree on a proposal. As a team,
answer the questions on the worksheet. You can use the worksheet to organize
your presentation before the pharaoh.
ALERT! It is highly recommended that you visit the Evaluation section before your team starts
researching and brainstorming. Knowing what the pharaoh expects of you is very important!
Create Presentations
After each team has finalized its proposal, the two groups must come together before the pharaoh to present their reports. The architect will respectfully introduce the group. The oral presentations should include visuals such as maps, diagrams, photographs, or illustrations to help explain the proposal. Most importantly, each presenter must tell the pharaoh the reasons—the thinking-behind each recommendation.
