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**__
 * 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)

__**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. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? That they had trouble to keep the drainage system for 2,000 years. Also, I learned that they had models that showed how they transported their goods from the fields outside of Mohenjo-Daro to the city market for trading. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. For the religious, I found that the Great Bath can do it because even the Archeologist's thought that they used the Great Bath for a religious rituals. For government, the Priest king might do it because at first, the Archeologist's thought that he was a Priest King, but know, they are trying to figure out who (he or she) was. The game pieces can be culture, which can fit into literature because it was a thing what the Mohenjo-Daro made. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city because they made the first chess game, which we still use it now, and they made their first sewere system, which they failed, but because of them, we now use it properly. 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? Because for instances, the Egypt had the Rosetta Stone, but in Mohenjo-Daro, there is no clue of their language. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? **

__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? Places that are named after the archeologists who found the places. 2. How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? The houses have drain hole so they can take out the dirty water. They used drain for to take out the water. 3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? We can learn what they used how they lived at that time by looking at the artifacts. Also, we can know when they started to settle there. 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. The people who lived in Mohenjo-Daro had necklaces that are made of gold. They even had carvings on the clays. They drew only elephants, bulls, and crocodiles. They even had weights that are made out of carved rocks. 5. What do we know about the Priest-King? That the archeologists named the Priest-King because they thought this sculpture is a ruler who was a important man or a priest. 6. What was the Great Bath and how was it used? It was just a mysterious building. The archeologists are not sure what it was used for. The Great Bath's floor is watertight. Some thought that it was used for religious ceremonies.
 * Assignment 2**

__Assignment 1__ Source: [|IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg] Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page: In 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 SarProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 vati 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? Where the places are, but there is still a lot of differences in the 2 maps. Both have flows of the river, and they are both Indian Sub continent. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? Where the peoples moved and where there were a lot of people settling in that area, and there is Sarasvati River. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. Because I think in that area, it will be really fertile because there is 2 rivers going across each other in one place, and they could trade easily. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? Because the Sarasvati River dried up and there is fertile banks in the further east.

I don't want to be Osiris because then I have to sit all they baby sitting ghosts who wants to get out of underworld. I found that the Egyptian gods had Osiris and the Mesopotamian god had Ereshkigal which, both of them were the god of underworld, but Ereshkigal was a goddess and Osiris was a god. I think Egyptian gods and Mesopotamian gods are same because in Egypt and Mesopotamia, I think they are seeing the same god, but thinking differently and I think that made the civilizations different.

 * Directions: Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.**

1. Read the //If YOU were there section//. How do you feel about working for the pharaoh? It will be REALLY unfair BECAUSE the pharaoh just sits on his/her chair and wait for food, taxes, other goods when we do all the work, and kind of unfair too because he can make it himself, but he is ordering us because he will cut our head if we don't fallow what he say. 2. Eventually the Third Dynasty began in ancient Egypt. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call. When did it start and end? It was called Old Kingdom.It lasted 2700 BCE ~ 2200 BCE. 500 years!! 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. The Egyptians felt that if the crops don't grow that much, then it's the pharaoh's fault and wars are from the pharaoh. The people felt like that pharaoh's were gods, and they respect the gods. 4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? The pharaoh's responsibilities was to not prevent wars and make trade profitable, and feeding his people. 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Can you name a specific monument built for him? Khufu was well know as that he fed his people who worked for him well. The name of the monument built for him was The Great Pyramid of Khufu. 6.a Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) First of all, the pharaoh is the first. (Duh~) Next, comes the vizier. The vizier works for the pharaoh. Then, comes the priest. The priest works in a temple. Then there is noble, the rich people. Then, there is peasants, merchants, and craft mans, which are the 2nd lowest. The servants, slaves, and farmers are the lowest. They only work for their families and help the pharaoh rarely. 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? 80% was the lower classes. The pharaoh can order more people. The pharaoh can order them all to make a pyramid for him. Rebellion was the disadvantage. The 80% people who are poor can try to kill the pharaoh. 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? They couldn't work in the fields. 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what was traded and who they traded with). Some people trade with their neighbors. The trade travelers take their gold, silver, copper, etc. to south along the Nile river to Nubia. They acquired slaves, gold, silver, copper, and etc, Syria traded wood for fire. 8. Define the word //**acquire**//. Use //**acquire**// in an original sentence. Acquire means to get anything. I went to B3 in KIS to acquire my Mac charger. 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? I think in Nobles, because the nobles are the rich people and vizier has high level because he works for the pharaoh.

Last, but least, 6th, if we didn't had any Mass and Church, we will no heart for religion and we will believe nothing, but our selves.

Wheel made the Sumerian's lives easier. They didn't had to drag their goods on flat-bottomed structures called sledges. The method of transporting goods with sledges was difficult because sledges often got stuck in the river mud and they could not support heavy loads. Wheeled carts allowed people to transport goods more easier because they could transport goods more farther than transporting goods with sledges. All they needed was animals such as donkeys and oxen. Sumerians built 2 or 4 wheeled chariots that were usually pulled by 4 donkeys.====== =**Assignment 5**= Using your sheet from class about Sumerian achievements, which achievements would go under each of these categories?

 Boat, wheel, first written language. We need wheels to make a stool, and handcart. Then we need boat to cross a river, or cross a sea, or ocean, and to go to other places that you need to cross the water. The last, but least, I think is the most important one because if you don't have any way to write somethings, how are you going to make a rule book and tell everyone about the rule? So, we need written language to write stuff to tell or show to anyone they can't hear or don't have time to go to them.
