This is the PPT explaining the Eyewitness Book project.

1. Turning your Society into an
EYEWITNESS Experience
for the Reader!
The breakdown for the written assessment for your societies

2. How is our Identity shaped
by our Society?
In response to this essential question, you are being
tasked with creating a descriptive and informative
“eyewitness” book about an imaginary society. This
expository text will serve to examine your society for its
cultural universals, ideas, and concepts. For this project
to be successful you will need to work collaboratively to
organize your ideas into rich paragraphs full of relevant
facts, concrete details, and illustrative graphics, with
captions and quotations. You will also need to provide a
creative analysis explaining the role of an individual in
your culture.
