**People & Rivers, Rivers & People**
When you hear the names of the world’s great rivers—the Nile, the Amazon, the Congo, the Danube, and the Mississippi — what images come to mind? What about the people that live and depend on these rivers? Do you ever wonder how these rivers have impacted the growth of civilizations? Or have you ever wondered how people have impacted these mighty rivers?

In this project, you will research how two rivers have shaped the lives of the people living along their shores and how these communities have affected each river. You will draw conclusions about the human and environment interactions in these areas and explain, in writing, your findings. Lastly, you will create a mode of presentation to communicate your ideas and conclusions to the rest of the class/school.

Manage your time effectively. Some class time will be given to complete this assignment; however, whatever is not finished at school will be required to complete for homework.

Mr. Thompson and Ms. DelSignore host working lunches regularly each week in the Spectrum Room (computer access is available for those that need it). Mr. Thompson also stays after school one day a week, students are free to work on projects at this time and can take the after school bus home at 5:30.
