The Minoans:** Minoan culture developed on the island of Crete in approximately 3,000 B.C.E. Minoan palace murals (wall paintings) and painted pottery show us a great sea culture, fueled by fishing, farming, and local arts. The Minoans were master sailors and set up long-distance trade routes with Spain, Egypt, Canaan, and Asia Minor. Socially, the Minoans were an egalitarian (equal) culture, with both men and women holding respected positions in the fields of religion, agriculture, and craftwork. Recreation enjoyed by the Minoans included dancing to music and song, "bull-leaping" - and boxing, complete with boxing gloves and mouth guards. The remarkable peace-loving character of the Minoan civilization is obvious because they didn't have fortresses, war equipment, and painted battle scenes among the remains of their settlements. The Minoan civilization is historically important to Greece because it was the model for the Mycenaean (pronounced my-sih-NEE-in) civilization which is considered the earliest developed culture on mainland Greece.
 * __The Origins of the Greeks__

Mycenae was settled in 2,700 B.C.E. Most of the myths about ancient Greek heroes and their famous battles come to us from the Mycenaeans. Later Greek poets such as Homer used these tales in their writings. The Mycenaeans spoke an early form of the Greek language, and developed an agricultural economy based on grains, grapes, and olives. Like the Minoans, they traded by sea with Egypt and Asia Minor. Unlike the Minoans, the Mycenaeans devoted most of their energies to developing a strong military. The circular royal tombs of Mycenae reveal collections of decorated uniforms, elaborate helmets, chariots, daggers, and axes. Horses were also extremely important to the Mycenaeans, as they were the vehicles of war. Mycenaean documents suggest that their society was hierarchical, with kings and soldiers in positions of power at the top of society, and prisoners of war who became slaves at the bottom of society who served the kings and soldiers. Other than artwork showing religious festivals and musical performances, very few artifacts of entertainment were left by the Mycenaeans.
 * The Mycenaeans:**

//1. What did the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations have in common?// The Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations used ships to trade. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// The Minoans women and men were at the same level and they wanted peace. The Mycenaeans cared about war especially, war chariots, daggers, axes, helmets and uniforms. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// I think that some aspects of the Monian civilization are found at Mycenae because they traded or the Mycenae attacked the Minoans and stole. //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// I think that Greece and other countries in Asia traded with the Mycenaes or the Minoans. //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// I would expect that culture and literature. //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar. Minoans and the Mycenaeans's declines were both caused by natural disasters such as an earthquake.// =__**Assignment 1**__=

 * Source:** Online Textbook pages 162-171


 * Directions:** You are a sage and you will teach your classmates a part of ancient India's history. The four parts (groups) are...
 * Group 1: The Mauryan Empire (page 162-163, 166)
 * Group 2: The Gupta Empire (page 164-165)
 * Group 3: Indian Achievements- Religious Art & Sanskrit Literature (page 167-169)
 * Group 4: Indian Achievements- Scientific Advances (page 170-171)

Each part has (or might have) pictures, illustrations, maps, dates, vocabulary words, and important people. Your job as a sage is to become an expert on your part so you will be able to comfortably and confidently teach others. Remember that if you don't understand the information, you won't be able to teach others properly. Follow these steps to become a great sage:

__**Steps**__ > > Indian Empires & Achievements » ProProfs Quiz Maker
 * 1) Read all the information on the pages you are responsible for. Don't just read the main parts, look at the other information such as maps or diagrams or pictures.
 * 2) Take notes in your notebook and answer the **//Reading Check//** question after each section to make sure you understand the information. You also have to answer the questions about your section from **page 176** (section 4 or 5).
 * 3) Present the information to your students but first decide how you are going to present the information. Will you just talk about the information (this can be boring) or will you use visuals or give a slideshow presentation (this can be more interesting)? Remember that your students have not read the information and are counting on you to teach them in an interesting and educational way.
 * 4) Check your students understanding. How will you check if your students understood the information? Will you make up questions to ask them? Will you ask them to write answers to the questions you had to answer in step 2? What else will you do? Will you ask your students to create something that shows their understanding? Think about how you are taught at school and the activities you do in your classes. Your students would probably have more fun if they made something that shows they understand the information.
 * 5) Your students must do the work you give them. They (**and you**) must also do the following:
 * add at least two important events to their timelines (you choose the important events from your part)
 * add two markers/labels to their scribble map (you choose what should be labeled from your part)
 * 1) Finally quiz and grade your students using the resources Mr. Tabbara shows you.

 * __ Assignment 5 __**

Use the website above to answer these questions.

1. Why would having a central government help in planning and organizing a city? Having a central government could help and organize a city because the government can control and take care of people. If somebody did a crime, the government can take care of the situation. 2. Who were Rajahs? Rajahs were ruler of cities. 3. What is a Guru? A Guru is a type of teacher that stays and teaches his student until he is 20 years old. 4. What subjects were taught in school?

Sage and Priests are people that have the same position of religious ceremonies. **Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.** 1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation? I was a Kshatriyas and I was the second highest group. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? My favorite part of the caste system simulation was torturing and punishing the Vaisyas and the Sudras. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? I was angry when the Brahmins took my pencil case because they took it without my permission. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? The system that was unfair for me was the Brahmins taking materials that didn't belong to them. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? I think that people should organize themselves into social classes because people could do anything they want to do and no one will be able to take care of them.

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? Something that I learned in the Mohenjo-Daro activity is that they are really clean. The people used droughts to make their city clean. I also learned people played games because there were dice and balls to play with.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. One characteristic of civilization that it represents in the artifacts that I looked at was religious ceremonies. For example, the Great Bath was a religious ceremony because people used wells to refill the Bath. There are also stairs to go down the Great Bath instead of people jumping and splashing water. Another characteristic is that people had different social levels. Poor people lived in small houses and rich people lived in big houses. Another characteristic is that people had different jobs. For example, some people worked on droughts and some people worked for the government.

3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think that Mohenjo - Daro was like a modern city because people measured what they will buy to know how much it is. Now, people still measure in markets to know what the price is for shopping. Today, people use new models to measure. Another example is that people wore jewelry that time and people today still wear jewelry.

4. Why do you think it is difficult for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region? I think it is difficult for us to know exactly what life is about in other civilizations because there were seals that archeologists didn't even know what it said. Archeologists are guessing and finding clues what the seals were used for. Also, artifacts could have been destroyed by enemy's.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think that Mohenjo-Daro's economy got weakened because people abandoned their city to live in another city with a strong leader. Later, I think that people took over Mohenjo-Daro and started a new civilization there. Also, I think that the people rebelled because of their bad leader. Another reason is that there might be a disease that can harm people.

__** Website: [|Indus Valley] Use the website above to answer these questions. Write your answers in **complete sentences** with **clear details** on your wiki page. 1. What was discovered during the excavations of Mohenjo-Daro? A lot of artifacts with were discovered such as a necklaces, plates, and carts. 2. How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? Mohenjo-Daro is similar to our cities today because there are drains to take dirty water away. Just like our cities we have to clean them everyday. 3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Dar? We can learn from archaeological discoveries that there are plates, necklaces, a seal, and a cart. 4. Give clear and specific information about how people lived in Mohenjo-Daro. In your answer, you have to talk about the artifacts that you discovered and put into the museum. People lived well because there were a lot of tools they could have used and they have goods. For example, plates, carts, and jewelry.

 * __ Assignment 1 __**


 * Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page:**

Early Indian agricultural settlements arose in the Indus-Sarasvati river region at least as far back as 6500 B.C.E. Like many other ancient peoples, the early Indians settled by rivers. They settled primarily on the banks of the Sarasvati River as well as along the banks of the Indus River. These rivers provided the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and the land near the rivers was fertile and excellent for growing crops. The rivers also provided the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations. Archeologists have found artifacts from the Indus-Sarasvati civilization - such as carved seals - in Mesopotamia's Sumer. These discoveries have led scholars to believe that the early Indians traded with Mesopotamia, possibly by traveling in ships down the Indus and Sarasvati rivers to the Arabian Sea and then west to Sumer and other locations. After the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E., the Indus-Sarasvati Indians moved to more habitable areas, such as the fertile banks of the Ganga river further east. Archeological evidence shows, however, that people settled by the Ganga River as far back as 5000 B.C.E.
 * I**n the 1990's, satellite pictures revealed an ancient, dried riverbed located in India's present-day Thar Desert. Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient **Sarasvati River**. The Sarasvati lay east of the Indus River and generally followed the same course, originating in the Himalaya mountains and emptying into the Arabian Sea. Geologists believe that the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati evolved into the dry, hot desert that exists today.

1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? A. Both of the maps are pictures of the Indian Sub continent and they have physiographic features. The maps are almost the same but, there is a line on the map where the Sarasvati river was. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? A. There are the Hindu Kush and the Himalaya mountains.The map has a Sarasvati river and my map does not. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. A. I think that people developed the Indus and Sarasvati river because the river has silt from the mountains. Also, if the river expands, it could make the land fertile just like the Nile River in Egypt. People can farm easily because the soil is fertile. Also they could trade in the khyberpass. 4. Accurately label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.
 * Questions:**

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? A. People moved to the Ganga river because the Sarasvati dried up and people wanted to have more land that is fertile.

3. Clearly explain two things you learned from your classmate's video.

4. How could your classmate improve his/her video? =__Assignment 7__= Read the information here about the three kingdoms in ancient Egypt. The problem with these three paragraphs is that each paragraph does not have specific details or evidence. Your task is to find specific details and evidence from our textbook for the information presented in each paragraph about each kingdom. Then re-write the paragraph adding the new specific details and evidence you found. Write the new paragraph on your wiki page. Old Kingdom: The old kingdom had powerful pharaohs that were just like gods in Earth. But, where do they put the body if they die? The Egyptians put the pharaoh's body in a pyramid in that time. Pyramids is a triangle that is 3d and they put jewelry or gold that the dead person used. The old Kingdom were the first to make the pyramids. Pyramids took millions of workers and about 2 million limestone. When they are all done with the pyramids, they put important people's body in the pyramid. But, the problem is, robbers or thief can easily go in a pyramid and rob important stuff. If the Egyptians hid the tomb then, robbers or thieves will not be able to rob anything because pyramids are big and they could be lost. The workers used more than 2 million limestone. Specific details and evidence can be found on pages 98-100 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 101-102 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...**
 * Part 1**
 * The Old Kingdom (2700 BCE - 2200 BCE)
 * Pyramids (definition, examples, construction details)
 * Workers
 * Importance of the pyramids
 * __Part 2__**
 * The Middle Kingdom (2100 BCE - 1800 BCE)
 * the difference with the Old Kingdom
 * what life was like during this time
 * wars or battles and who was involved

Around 1750BC a group from the Southwest Asia invaded Egypt. It was the Hyksos, they had strong weapons for example chariots and horses. They ruled Egypt for 200 years. Later other groups or cities rule each other. That is the difference from the old kingdom and the new kingdom.
 * Middle Kingdom:** The middle kingdom was called Egypt's golden age. The middle kingdom is different from the old kingdom because the old kingdom ended by loosing power. For example, pharaohs had hard time collecting taxes and nobles ruled Egypt. Even the pharaohs were controlled by the nobles. The nobles had power for 160 years. Egypt had no real leader. During that time,the middle kingdom trading, art and literature were important and they used it a lot. Around 2050BC, a pharaoh made Egypt get back together. In the middle kingdom time, when pharaohs died, they put their leader's time in a tomb hidden in the pyramid. Because of the old kingdom, thiefs steal important stuff. On the other hand, the Middle kingdom hid the tombs from being stolen. Even today people cannot find the tombs.

__**Part 3**__ Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...**
 * The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) **
 * Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook.
 * what new territories were conquered
 * names of pharaoh's involved in expansion
 * wars or battles and who was involved
 * trading (who and what)

**The New Kingdom (1500 BCE-1000 BCE):** The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period. Egypt expanded her borders through military conquest and became a world power. During the time period of the new kingdom, pharaohs were all powerful, and pharaohs were all buried in the same geographic area called the Valley of the Kings.

Movie notes: New Kingdom: The New Kingdom was the eighteenth dynasty and they had many accomplishments. For example, they had strong military and they expanded their land from other enemies that attacked them. When the Hyksos conquered land in the Nile river, Egypt lost and they were forced to have land in the middle of the Nile. The Nubians conquered the southern part of Egypt and Egypt was surrounded. The royal family, one of the prince, decided that they will rebel the Hyksos first. Egypt made a empire after they took out the Hyksos. Their army became powerful and they made Egypt rich. Also, pharaohs became powerful and they became very wealthy. Egyptians attacked Nubia and they took their land. They also conquered Syria. Later in Egypt, the Hittites attacked Egypt and Ramses a pharaoh fought too. The Hittites is a group from the Asia Minor. They have kept on fighting for years and no one won. Another group Tehenu, invaded Egypt and a pharaoh Ramses fought them off and made strong military forts. The New Kingdom was over when Ramses died and when the Hittites and the Sea People invaded. Egypt never got their power back, but they did not give up. The New Kingdom traded a lot. The women pharaoh Hatsheput traded with other groups.
 * Before the Golden age 1560 BCE, Egypt was divided.
 * The Hyksos controlled the Nile Delta. The north.
 * The Nubians controlled the south of Egypt.
 * The pharaoh decided to rebel against the Hyksos and the Nubians.
 * Leader of the royal family died and ax marks on his head.
 * Egyptians hated foreigners when they were in their land.
 * Archeologist found one of the prince what he wrote.
 * The prince said that he will crush the invaders.
 * One of the prince said to get an army and attack but the people thought that they want to live normally.
 * Hyksos sent messengers to unite and destroy Egypt.

I would like to be the the first god on Earth because I could be the only one and I could be the leader. I also wish to make other gods. I would not want to be Anubis because he is the god of the dead. I would not want to be Anubis because being the god of the dead will be a spooky job because you have to see dead people and ghosts. Bes and Huwawa are similar because they look the same. Bes protect people and Huwawa protect the cedar forest. I think they look similar because they are both monsters that protect something. Osiris and Dumuzi are similar gods because Dumuzi, a Mesopotamian god is a shepherd god and he represents harvest season. Osiris, a Egyptian god gave a gift called barley to the people of Egypt. Barley was Egypt's important crops.

1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? I think that the rich man should pay because he has a lot of money and a poor person does not have money.

Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? Hammurabi became the king of Babylon. He ruled Babylon for 42 years. 5. What is a monarch? A monarch is a person that is a ruler.

If persons are stolen, then shall the community and. . . pay one mina of silver to their relatives. I think that this law is interesting because it can make the relatives sad for losing their relative. If they get sad they might get a little happy when they get free money. I agree with this law and it is a good law because people can not live without their family. 252. If he kill a man's slave, he shall pay one-third of a mina. I think this law is interesting because slaves are not that cheap. I do not agree with this law and this is a cruel law because slaves are humans just like regular people, and it will be unfair. People are the same. 282. If a slave say to his master: "You are not my master," if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear. This law is interesting because slave's level is very low and and his master should be very high for a slave. I do not agree with this law and it is very cruel because you don't have to cut off their ear. You could just give the slave a smaller punishment like, slapping. I think that cutting off a ear is too CRUEL. =__Assignment 9__= After playing the Trader's game, answer the following questions in complete sentences on your page.
