***DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE YOUR TWO PARAGRAPHS ABOUT THE CIVILIZATIONS.
There should be two paragraphs, one discussing the civilization you would have wanted to live in and the other paragraph
should state why you would not want to live in the other two. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ME I wouldnt want to
live in any of them because I dont like them, they arent modern, or any other reason like that.
Use this space to make notes on the civilizations and write or type your final paragraphs on a sheet of paper.
