 * Athens
 * Corinth
 * Sparta

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?// They both speak in Greek language. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// The Mycenaeans devoted most of their energies on developing a strong military but the Minoans didn't really put much effort on war and war equipment. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// Because the Minoan are master sailors and they can sail to there. //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// weapons because of they fight. //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.// = = =__**Assignment 1**__=

__Assignment 10__ Now that we are finished our unit about ancient India, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned. Please answer clearly and with details. Each answer must be at least two sentences. If you need reminders of what we did, just scroll through the assignments on this page or look through your notes.

1. The single most important thing... I learned was about Buddhism and Hinduism. For example, where Buddhism spread until and if there is a human founder for Buddhism and Hinduism.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... It was the empires. I didn't really get where the Mauryan Empire conquered and what kind of religion they believed in.

3. What surprised me the most was... It was that ancient Indians can do surgeries to fix people's brain, broken bones, and infected tonsils. Also, it was surprising that there was such thing called caste system because I didn't know even in India, there are social levels. However, the most surprising thing to me was that they can predict eclipses and that they know the Earth was rotated on its axis.

4. I would like to know more about... Why did the ancient Indians started making the math textbooks and also they got much interest in astronomy. How where they so smart. How did they know how to cast magic spells.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was... There will be two things that I will always remember. I will always remember that there is a human founder for Buddhism but that there is no human founder for Hinduism. The second thing that I will remember is that sanskrit is a dead language and no one uses the language anymore. = = =__Assignment 9__=
 * 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**__ = = =__Assignment 8__= Write your answers for this assignment in your **NOTEBOOK**.
 * 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) Decide how you are going to present the information to your students. 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) 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.
 * 5) Your students must do the work you give them. They must also do the following:
 * add at least three important events to their timelines (you choose the important events from your part)
 * add three markers/labels to their scribble map (you choose what should be labeled from your part)
 * Sources:**
 * 1. Online Textbook page 157
 * 2. Online Textbook pages 158-159
 * Directions:**

__Part 1__ Using source number 1, write your own clear and complete sentences using of the following words. Remember that your sentences should show that you know the meanings of the words. __Part 2__ Using source number 2, write about the following: >> __Part 3__ Using source number 2, create a clear and neat Venn diagram showing the differences and similarities between Hinduism and Buddhism.
 * fasting

 * The Eightfold Path
 * Summarize in 3-4 sentences
 * Explain how you are following at least three of the eight parts of the path in your life today
 * Explain how you are NOT following two of the eight parts of the path in your life today

6. Why did people look up to the priests? It was because they were the highest people.
====7. Look up the word 'sage' in any dictionary. What does it mean and what word from questions 1-6 is it similar to? Sage means a aromatic plant. Do you think this definition makes sense for this assignment? ====

====**__ Assignment 4 __** **Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.** 1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation? My varna was the Sudra. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? I did not have any favorite parts of in the system. The reason is because Sudras are like slaves so we have to do anything what the Brahmans wants for example when the Brahmans ask us to do a dance, we must do it or else we have to get a punishment. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? The part that made me angry was my level and I have to follow their orders all the time. What I mean is that if I rebel to do it I have to take any punishment from the Brahmans. For example, when I was the Sudra, the two punishment gave two punishment to each person. My punishment from the Brahman Kevin was to bow to him for 20 times and from Michelle I had to do 100 jumping jacks. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? No I think this is not a fair system because I think having slaves is mean. People are born to have freedom not to work for others and do whatever the king or queen wants. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? No because having slaves are not good. I mean that at that moment the King feels happy but what if the King became a slave and the slave became a King? So I think there should be no social levels. I think so there should be no slaves and everyone is in the same level.====

**__ Assignment 3 __**
====**Source:** [|Archeologists Ideas Mohenjo-Daro.pdf] Think about the activity we did in class as archeologists in Mohenjo-Daro. Using the source above, your ideas, and the notes you took about archeologists ideas, answer the following questions __clearly__ and __completely__ on your wiki page. **Each answer should be at least two sentences long with specific information.**==== ====1.

Government rule over places, regular food supply, developed culture cause we found games which is a part of culture, different social levels, religion (the great bath), and different jobs for example farmers, priest kings etc.====

3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? They had indoor bathrooms like our days etc.
====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 was difficult because it was not discovered for a long time.====

**__ Assignment 2 __**
==== Website: [|Indus Valley] Use the website above to answer these questions. Write your answers in **complete sentences** with **clear details** on your wiki page.====

====**__ Assignment 1 __** **Source: [|IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg]** **Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page:** **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. 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. ==== ==== **Questions:** 1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? Both have the river outline and etc. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? The Sarasvati river is not on our map that we labeled. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. It is fertile and close to Kyber pass so they can trade. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? Cause it dried up. ====

 * The paragraph:** Pharaohs had strong power and were recognized gods on earth. The kingdom is nicknamed "The Pyramid Age". Pharaohs were buried in pyramids only during this time period in history. Pyramids are huge stone tombs that are triangular. One example of it is the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The Great Pyramid of Khufu was near Giza. However, it needed thousands of workers to built this and 2 million limestones to build. The importance of the pyramid was to bury special ones like the Pharaoh. After building a few pyramids, at great expense to the state, it happened to pharaohs that pyramids were rather easy to spot, and thus, much easier to rob than a hidden tomb. Things changed during the middle kingdom.

At the old kingdom, the pharaoh ruled Egypt but in the middle kingdom, the noble nearly ruled Egypt. It was not a good life at that time cause wars happened so it was not good. Trade flourished, arts and literature flourished. Egypt built strong armies to defend herself against her neighbors.
