=Introduction= Well now interns, this is a very special day for you all. For the first time in the history of the theme park industry, you will be given a chance to make the old become new again! Your employer, Apogee Attractions, is designing a new theme park...but not just any theme park. It is a park to rival all others, a park that will soar to new heights and make what was once thought to be lost found again! You are being given the chance to design an entire section of a theme park, solely based on a single, specific period based on Ancient Rome. The trick is, you have to //educate// your audience as well as entertain them! Use your imaginations, reach beyond the stars, and create the greatest attractions known to man, and you may be given the chance to be a part of this monumental undertaking: as a supervisor and a design team leader! Rise to the challenge, interns!

=Task= You are an intern working for big name theme park development company Apogee Attractions, and in a sudden turn of events the board of directors has decided to develop a new amusement park tentatively named “The Land After Time,” which is a theme park dedicated to teaching people of all ages about different periods of history while entertaining them. You, along with the other interns in your department, are given the opportunity to design the concept for the “Roman Empire” section of the theme park, specifically focusing on the golden age of Rome, also known as the Augustan Age. To do this, your team of interns must develop a prezi to present your fabulous and innovative ideas to the board of directors in order to convince them that your concept is the most entertaining and educational. Your prezi must include multiple graphics, and references to the prominent figures, places, and innovations of the time.

=Conclusion= (Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)

Your submission is highly appreciated, and will be reviewed by the board of directors promptly. Your presentation should have highlighted the various cultural, governmental, and expansionist aspects of the Roman Empire, and if your presentation is chosen, you yourself will be flown to the construction site and oversee the construction of your own personal mark on the map of ages. I hope you are prepared.
