=**__Assignment 2__**= Directions: Read the following information about the Minoans and the Mycenaeans and then answer the questions that follow **in your notebook**.

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.// =**__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 the basic information about India and their advancement and other achievements in their time. This is the information that will stay with me and this way I can have a basic understanding of ancient India.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was the time passages in between the Gupta and Mauryan empire and where the art was drawn and created and when. No matter where I looked in the book I had a very hard time finding good places and dates for the sage assignment.

3. What surprised me the most was how advanced India was with the sewer and how Asoka help travelers. I never thought sewers came out so early in life and I didn't know that Asoka woud want to make rest stops.

4. I would like to know more about the wars and battles in Ancient India and the every day life. We did not really study about how every day life was in the Gupta and Mauryan empires.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was making the Mandalas. Making the Mandalas was really fun and I really liked to do it.

 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:
 * 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)

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I learned that Mohenjo-Daro was more advanced than I expected. I thought that the people just went to get water, but the had drains and wells, also I didn't know that the buildings were made of stone because I thought the buildings would get heated too much, and they also played games and had fun. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. 1. A system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society, but I didn't find any clear ones on the sheet because the statue of the man could have been a noble. 2. A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change would be station H because there were farmers also station A because the measured grain that was grown. 3. Specialization of labor, in which members of the society perform different jobs would be station H, B, and G because there are farmers, priests because of the Great Bath, and Builders because of the games that are made. 4. Different social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status than others would be station C because only noble women wore the necklaces and the statue was probably made of a noble. 5. A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing would be station D because they wrote on seals to mark their products. 6. A religious system, which might include priests and temples the Great Bath was used for religious ceremonies. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? It was like a modern city because they had food supplies and pipes, a complex sewer system,and indoor toilet. 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? This is hard because they didn't have a language we understand today. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? The massive population couldn't be handled with the minimal amount of food, typhoon, earthquake, the river dried up and maybe an enemy destroyed them. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Website: [|Indus Valley] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Use the website above to answer these questions. Write your answers in **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">complete sentences **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> with **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">clear details **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> on your wiki page. 1. What was discovered during the excavations of Mohenjo-Daro? They found large important buildings on a mound which was called the Citadel, They also found may streets the longest one is called first street it is over 4000 years old, they also found bricks that were mud fired in a kiln. 2. How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? Mohenjo-Daro is similar to our cities today because it has bricks, roads, buildings which had spaces for windows and doors, they found wells which are still used in some places today, they also had drains that were slanted to move water, and also sometimes the drains got jammed and people had to fix them this still happens today. 3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? We can learn who used certain things how rich the people were and sometimes what their jobs were. 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. Some people like the people who owned the copper plate, and the necklace were rich, some people like the people who owned the seal knew how to write, we also know that the children had cheap toys because of the terra cotta cart and that they domesticated animas to pul the cart we also know they had traders because of the blocks to measure weight finally we know they had decoration like the figurine and the seal. 5. What do we know about the Priest-King? He is wearing a band with a circular thing on it on his head and arm, his eyes were cut deeply in stone, and he is an important person. 6. What was the Great Bath and how was it used? This is a pool of water that has a water tight bottom some people believe it was used as a sacred purifying pool of water.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Assignment 1 Source: http://kis6ss.wikispaces.com/file/view/IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpgIndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page: In the 1990s, 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? It has the Ganga, Indus, and Brahmputra a river, the western and Eastern Ghats, the Hymilayan and Hindu Kush Mts. the Deccan plateau and the Thar desert. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? The physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map are the Indian Sea and the Sarasvati River. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think they settled here because they needed water and a sustainable food supply and these places had both so it was perfect to stay there. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They probably migrated there because all of the food was running low and because as the population increased the needed more room nd hey still needed water so they settled there.

Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was what happened between the kingdoms. 3. What surprised me the most was how resourceful ancient egyptians were and how they built those giant structures. 4. I would like to know more about the Egyptian war strategies. 5.

Most Pharaohs during this age in Egyptian history only had tombs in pyramids the most commonly known pyramid is The Great Pyramid of Khufu. After creating many of these magnificent structures, Which cost a lot of time, land, money, and resources which is shown by the waste of giant limestone rock, the workers needed food, The Pyramid of Khufu was 13 acres on the ground. The pharaohs realized that pyramids were not hidden and couldn't be hidden so they would be easy to steal from when they were buried with belongings. The people who made it were not slaves they were in fact workers who got paid with crops. This caused a change in the Middle Age. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2: The middle kingdom was when Egypt thrived the most. The nobles grew more powerful than the Pharaohs and ruled for many years and they ruled for a while, but then the Pharaohs came back in power. Trade, arts, and literature were excellent. Egypt's armies increased so they could protect Egypt in times of trouble. Trouble came when the Hyksos attacked, but in the end the egyptians won. At this times Pharaohs were expected to be wise and great rulers. Pharaoh's tombs also were now hidden to protect their treasures. There are still tombs that are not found because of the years of sand and being well hidden. 3 Egypt grew the most in the New Kingdom through war and power. At the beggining of the New Kingdom Egypt was mostly invaded the brothers Kamos and Amos were the pharaohs who saved Egypt from the invaders. After such time Egypt kings were wealthy and powerful. They were mostly buried in the Valley of the Kings. Since Egypt was taken over the kings didn't want it to happen again so they took over all areas leading to Egypt these areas included northern Nubia through south western Asia near Mesopotamia. These created trade routes through Egypt. Hatshepsut was a pharaoh who specialized in trade and built many different structures. She traded for things like gold, leopard skin, ivory, and incense to Punt which is in lower Nubia. Even when protected Egypt still had to fight other races. Rameses II fought the Hittites and then the sea peoples attacked the Nile delta. After 50 years Egypt won while ramesesII was the pharaoh, but Egypt had wasted too many recourses and people and could never come back from the wars which was the end of the New Age. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 800; line-height: 27px;"> Assignment 6 Michael's comic:<img src="http://www.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/file/michael+6d+underworld+comic.pdf?h=40&amp;w=200" class="WikiFile" id="wikitext@@file@@michael 6d underworld comic.pdf" title="File: michael 6d underworld comic.pdf"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> '''Directions: Use your notes, wiki assignments, and the Egyptian Underworld video to create a comic showing the mummification process and the Egyptian underworld using ComicLife.

The amulets they used in egypt were a djed pillar for stability and osiris was in the neck area, scarab was for regeneration and rising sun is in upper abdomen, the heart amulet was put on heart area to protect it, and the udjat was for health was the eye of Horus. 9 It was put in the tomb and stayed there until the scientists (or tomb raiders) dug it up.

Choose one of these that you would like to be and explain why you would like to be that god orgoddess. Then choose one that you would __not__ want to be and explain why. Make sure your explanations are middle school quality explanations. Part 2: Compare these Egyptian gods and goddesses with the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/gods/explore/exp_set.html" rel="nofollow">Mesopotamian gods and goddesses</a>. Did you find similar gods? Name the gods/goddesses and clearly explain the similarities? Why do you think they are similar even though Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilizations were different? 1 The god I would want to be is Sobek because he is powerful and looks cool. They also worshipped him in peculiar ways. His temples had crocodiles in pools because he is a mix of a crocodile and a human. He is the god of the nile which was and is a very important part of daily life in egypt. 1b The person I would not want to be is Aten because of his name and how he looks. His name is like a 10 which is very easy to get confused. He is also only the sun with hands. Finally he is just a form of Ra so he isn't as cool. 2 Ishtar,Ninurta, and sekhmet are god and goddessess of war, Nabu,Thoth, Sheshat gods and goddess of writing, Nergul Osiris gods of underworld. <img src="http://www.wikispaces.com/site/embedthumbnail/custom/5113135?h=0&amp;w=0" class="WikiMedia WikiMediaCustom" id="wikitext@@media@@type="custom" key="5113135"" title="Custom Media"> Assignment 2 Source: Read pages 93 &amp; 94 in your online textbook 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? 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? 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. 4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Can you name a specific monument built for him? 6.a Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what was traded and who they traded with). 8. Define the word acquire. Use acquire in an original sentence. 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? 1 I would feel proud to be working for the pharaoh, but I would demand good pay, lots of insurance, and good conditions. (Even though I probably wouldn't get them. 2 The third dynasty started about 2700B.C.E. and ended about 2200B.C.E. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call the Old Kingdom. 3 They felt their pharaoh was their ruler and a god they should worship without question. 4 He was to either stop wars or make them win, make the crops grow well, make sure disease or famine doesn't strike and, make trade go over well. 5 What is best known about Khufu is his people were always well fed and he had great monuments. The great pyramid of Khufu was built for him. 6a The structure of society was very unfair because the pharaoh or top just had to be born into the right family and he got enough money and food while the peasants had to work and the pharaoh just took 90% of it away and they had to starve. 6b Some advantages are that there is more trade and more tax money because of all of the people so the pharoah could lower taxes (If he wasn't greedy). Some disadvantages are there would be more poor people because if someone wants to buy something they go for the lowest price so people will have to keep lowering their prices until it is not enough to live otherwise other people will get more money and there might no be enough food because more people take up more space that could be used for farmland and eat more than few people do and there are more chances of rebellions winning. 6c They worked on monuments for the present pharaoh because there wasn't anything else to do. 7 They traded with Nubia for many resources like gold, copper, ivory, stones, oh and of course slaves. They traded with Syria for wood. 8 Acquire is to gain something. I acquired a medal in bravery after I saved 3 people from a burning house. 9 The viziers would be nobles because they advise the pharaohs.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Was it difficult to find evidence for the empire you picked? Why or why not?

Make sure your explanations are middle school quality explanations. I would like to be the scorpion people for many reasons. My first reason is that since my birthday is in November so I have Scorpio as my constellation. Also I wold like being a scorpion because they can attack with their tail so in sports nobody would get close to me. My final reason is that they are protectors against demons because I have the same name as Saint Michael and he protected Heaven from demons according to the bible. I would not want to be Tiamat because first of all I would be a girl which would be kind of weird and she created demons which curse the world and then she got killed and her blood formed the 2 rivers which would be kind of painful. Assignment 10  Source: Read pages 74 and 75 in your online textbook Directions: Read the questions/directions carefully and write clear and detailed answers on your wiki page. 1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? 2. What happened to Ur by 2000 BCE? 3. Where was Babylon located? 4. Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? 5. What is a monarch? 6. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, what did Hammurabi call his empire? 7. Hammurabi was a great warrior and leader. What other skills did he have? 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important. 10. What eventually happened to the Babylonian Empire? How is this similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire? 11. Read the different laws in the <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.phillipmartin.info/hammurabi/hammurabi_codeindex.htm" rel="nofollow">Code of Hammurabi on this site</a> and choose three that you think are interesting. __Copy__ the three laws and their numbers onto your page. Then for each law, explain why you think it's interesting. You can write about if you disagree or agree with the law or if you think the law is a good law or a cruel law. 1 Personally myself I wouldn't have a difference in punishment, but knowing the world we lived there was. 2 By 2000 BCE People from other areas had raided Ur so much that it was in ruins. 3 Babylon was located South of Akkad and North of Ur On the Euphrates River. 4 Hammurabi was king of Babylon in the year 1792 BCE. 5 A monarch is a ruler of a kingdom or empire. 6 He called the land he conquered the Babylonian empire. 7 He knew a lot about business and taxes so the people didn't rebel, he made enough money, and he helped the economy. 8 His laws include murder, Maiming, trade, loaning, and etc in total there were 282 laws. 9 Hammurabi's code was important because he kept the world from total chaos, had the laws be very thorough, had it written so everyone could see it and It was the base of most modern day laws. 10 After Hammurabi died Babylon was reduced to nothing and this is similar to Akkad because after Sargon died it was reduced to nothing. 11 252. If he kill a man's slave, he shall pay one-third of a mina. I chose this because it proves life is unfair to lower class people because a third of a mina doesn't sound like a lot and I disagree with it. 235. If a shipbuilder build a boat for some one, and do not make it tight, if during that same year that boat is sent away and suffers injury, the shipbuilder shall take the boat apart and put it together tight at his own expense. The tight boat he shall give to the boat owner. This I chose because it seems very fair That a boat that doesn't work be fixed for free so I agree with it. 165. If a man give to one of his sons whom he prefers a field, garden, and house, and a deed therefor: if later the father die, and the brothers divide the estate, then they shall first give him the present of his father, and he shall accept it; and the rest of the paternal property shall they divide. I chose this because it is kind of like a will today and I agree with it. Assignment 9  After playing the Trader's game, answer the following questions in complete sentences on your page. You can copy and paste these questions into your page. Then go to the discussion tabs of at least three other classmates and make good quality middle school comments about your classmates answers to the questions about the Trader's game. You can make comments to your classmates about if you agree or disagree with their point of viewor comments about how good their answers and ideas are. __Trader's Circuit questions__ 1. What part of the game did you like the best? Why? 2. During the game, how did you feel and why did you feel that way? 3. What part of the game was difficult for you? 4. In your opinion, what advantage is there to having a monopoly of an entire product/resource such as dates or jewelry? 5. What part of the game would you change if you played it again? Why? 6. In this game, was it better to cooperate with another player or to be selfish and try to get all the products/resources for yourself? Why? 1 The part I like best was winning or trading the cards they wanted while hiding my cards and letting them share there's to trade for mine. 2 I felt happy because the game was fun and it was easy to understand what was happening. 3 The most difficult part of the game was when I didn't know what the other people had, but that was a part of the game. 4 My opinion The advantage of having a monopoly of a product is you could sell them for more money than anything else because if people need it and you are the only one who has it They <b>HAVE to buy it from you that is the only way to get it. 5 I would change the game by adding more products to the game and having it as a world with certain money to spend. 6 I found it better to cooperate because when I had a wild card I traded it to someone who needed 1 thing for a monopoly for 1 thing I needed for a monopoly so I won.</b> Assignment 8 Use your online textbook pages 63 &amp; 64 to answer these questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.
