This document outlines a project assignment for a university course on culture and civilization. The project involves examining the similarities and differences between Eastern and Western civilizations in the past and present. Students will research timelines of specific civilizations and analyze elements of culture, social structure, traditions and history. They will create a visual timeline and script a scene from the chosen civilization. As a group, students will perform their scene and submit a report on their research. Individually, students must create a journal on a character from the civilization that demonstrates their understanding through sketches, annotations and packaging design. The assignment provides a schedule, submission requirements and assessment criteria for both the group performance and individual journal.

Introduction
“The history of drama stretches back to some of mankind's earliest civilizations. It's always fun to learn the
history of a play that you're watching. You could be seeing something that people have enjoyed for
hundreds or thousands of years. Drama as we know it got its start back in ancient Greece. Many of the
plays written during the Classical period, from 525 BC to 385 BC, are still performed today”
