 * 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?// //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// //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?// //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.//

1. The single most important thing I learned was... I learned that Hinduism doesn't have a founder because I thought that every religion have a person who made the religion. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... I kind of didn't understand the Sages one. The Maruyan Empire because the dates were confusing and the sage couldn't explain it that well. 3. What surprised me the most was... The most thing that suprised me was that Hindu is a mixture of religion because I though that religion copied a lot of things but actually mix with other cultures because it's hard to mix with other cultures since things are different but Hidusim is a mixture. 4. I would like to know more about... How people lived and how India doesn't remove the caste system because the caste system is unfair and some people disagree on that. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The part that I will remember that Budda isn't a god and prince, also that Hindu is a mixture of religion. Also that Hindu doesn't have a founder. =__Assignment 9__=

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**.

 * 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)

What varna were you in during the caste system simulation?
 * fasting
 * meditation

During class I was in the Vaisyas. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? My favorite part about the caste system was that I got to be a farmer and not servants because I thought people will look down at me more than Vaisyas. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? I didn't like the part when the Brahmins said to dance with the crop because I thought that people who are closest to god was suppose to be nice not mean. Also, they looked down on us so it felt bad, that I was ignored.

4,Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? I think it's not fair because they shouldn't have the right to look down on people and command people. People who are servants have to work for them all the time. I mean they didn't get the power by themselves but got it form generation. I think that's just unfair!!I mean you study really hard but you can't work here because your generation is a servant family, and that's really unfair. They study hard and just because their family is a servant family he has to waste the knowledge and be a servant.

5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? Society should not organize it because it organizes by itself. People still think that this person is lower than me because she earns 100 dollars less than me. People organize by itself and still look down on them.

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.**

 * Source:** [[image:http://c1.wikicdn.com/i/mime/32/application/pdf.png width="32" height="32" link="file/view/Archeologists Ideas Mohenjo-Daro.pdf"]]

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I have learned that the Mohenjo-Daro had drains that flush down waste. So their daily life was clean. Station E showed me that. Also learned that they had fun too. They had games to play with.It was station g that showed us the games. I found out that they did farming and traded by station h because there was a cart and animals that showed us that they probably used animals. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. I found religion by the statues in Station C. We saw a statue of this women and that might be the godness. We also found a statue of a king in Station C and that's goverment. They also had games as music and fun things. Station G we found game pieces.They have social levels because they had statues of god. Farming is food and occupation. Station H shows us a terracotta of a farm animal and a person. rades also go as food and econmics. Trading is something that they used to do and the proof is station A because in Station A there is a scale and weights for measuring weights. They had different jobs like farmers, persist.

3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? Mohenjo is a city that had drains like us now. We have pipes as the drains and our waste goes down as the people in Daro waste went down in the drains. Also they have games like us. Also the games are really similiar! I mean they have little figures and dice like our board game today. People today still farming and so did people in Daro do farming to live. People in Mexico still live in mud houses and Daro people lived in mud houses but now it's called Adobe houses. They scales for weighting for trading and buying. They had religion the Bath.

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? We don't have any writings down and even is we have we don't know how to read the their reading. We don't have any proof ether that this was really a religion thing or not. Even if we have writing we can't read the writing. Since there is no one living there also the city is kind of destroyed.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think that it fell just like Egypt. They had golden ages and they used too much money and had nothing with them and the country fail. Maybe they broke down because they fought too much. I think the river dried up. They might had earthquakes and floods. Also there might be hurricanes.

 * __ 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? =====

They had goof soil for the crops and also was easy to trade with people. The Kyber pass was easier for the trading. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.
5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River?

The river dried up so the people started to do for more water. They needed the land a better place. The path of the river was there but the river is dried.
