The Pak Ancient Civilizations Museum  - wikispace is where you will be placing your entry for a Wikipedia topic. Think about what artifacts, images, and charts you would choose that best displays topic comparison.

 **Step 1: ** First, you are to create __7-10 questions__ that you (and your partner) come up with about your topic.

**7- 10 QUESTIONS: **

These questions are developed **BEFORE** you start to research and will help to guide your research. For example, you may ask:

//What is the Hinduism? // //When did it occur? // //Who was most affected by the religion and why? // -These questions are all student-designed and how you (and your partner) would like the direction of your paper and Wikipedia page go toward. -These questions can be a starting point, but can be changed as you continue in your research. -Extra credit points are given for more thought-provoking questions that are not basic questions. For example: Why did Shiva and the goddess Hera have qualities of destruction and why was this a necessary part for their cultures?

You are to write these questions at the **“Starting Point” page** on the wikispace site. Be sure to press SAVE at the end of your session.
