Your assignment is to create an illustrated map of the Underworld. From what you have learned in ths section, draw a map of the Underworld as you envision it to be. You will include at least 20 elements (places, people, etc.) found in the Underworld. One of the elements will be the path you take through the Underworld in your narration.

Part II: Your Roman Funeral

Imagine yourself as a Roman individual, then imagine yourself at your own funeral.

Create a narration (written or audio-your choice) of your funeral that includes ceremonies and funeral rites as described in this section. You may include additional information from outside research if you wish. Your goal is to show that you have learned much about the funeral rites and ceremonies of ancient Rome. This section must be at least 300 words in length.

In addition, you must include a narration of your journey through the Underworld. This narration will follow the path you have indicated on your map but should also refer to other places, people, etc. in the Underworld as well. Your goal is to show that you have learned much about the Underworld and its contents. This section must be at least 300 words in length.

Your narration will include several illustrations such as a tombstone inscription or funerary mask. Be sure to give your illustrations appropriate labels. If you choose to make an audio narration, you can include these in a slideshow presentation to accompany your recording (.mp3 or .wav). If you choose to write your narration, insert these illustrations into your document.
