  • Introduction
    Introduction When we study history from its beginning, one of the first civilizations we find is Ancient Egypt. While there are many other ancient peoples, Egypt is always listed as one of the most important. It endured longer than any of its neighbors, and in so doing, it estab- lished itself as a foundation that the story of ancient history could be built on. For century after century, the Egyptians built stone monuments and pyramids, carved countless pictures and hieroglyphs, recorded stories and important information on papyrus scrolls, and in the process preserved for future generations pieces of a story that would otherwise barely be remembered. The stability of their geographic location — surrounded by deserts but living along the fertile Nile River — allowed them to maintain their culture comparatively undisturbed for long periods of time. Here they farmed, built, and raised their families. They also, importantly, figured prominently in several stories from the Bible, making them an integral part of God’s divine plan as it was laid out in the Old Testament. For these reasons and many others, they are one of the most important civilizations we can take time to study. Each lesson in this Project Passport includes fact-filled, engaging text, created to be all you need for a compact assignment. Should you or your child wish to expound on a subject, a variety of books, videos, and further avenues of research are available in the “Additional Resources” section. This study can also act as an excellent accompaniment to any world history program. You will want to print out the “Travel Tips” teacher helps beforehand and brief yourself on the lessons and supplies needed.

  • West African Empires Before the Atlantic Slave Trade
    A Hidden History: The West African Empires Before the Atlantic Slave Trade Linda Kaye Nwoke Fondren Middle School INTRODUCTION Fondren Middle School is located in the southwest section of Houston, Texas. It provides a rigorous curriculum that reaches beyond traditional boundaries. The magnet program offers exceptional opportunities, such as complete training laboratories where students learn graphics, digital imaging, and animation. Fondren is the only middle school in HISD to have an annual trip to Big Bend National Park every spring where the students can learn about ecology, biology, and geology. Fondren is a Title I school: 55% are African American, 41% Hispanic American, 2% Asian American, 1% white, and 1% other. 71% are at-risk, and 91% receive free/reduced lunch. We also have 81% in the Pre-AP program. OBJECTIVES SS.6.2B- Describe the economic, social, and/or political impact of individual and group achievement on the historical and contemporary countries or societies of a given region. SS.6.3B- View, determine the utility, and interpret various types of maps, graphs, charts, and other geographic tools to pose and answer questions about geographic distributions and patterns in world regions. SS. 6.5B Identify how human and physical geographic factors affect the ability of a country/group to control territory and shape domestic and foreign policy in a given region or country.

  • 1. Cooperative Groupwork Unit.Pdf
    Anna Martin Lee Mathson Middle School Ancient & Medieval World History Appropriate for Grades 6-7 Cross-Cultural Exchange on the Trans-Saharan Trade Routes: A Cooperative Group-work Mini Unit Mini-Unit Objective: Students will analyze the effects of geography on and cultural interchange between Islam and West Africa by examining and creating a creative presentation using primary sources and artifacts relating to trans-Saharan trade and adaptation to the desert. Students will be assessed on their individual primary source analysis and their contributions to the group’s presentation on the element of culture and/or theme of geography assigned. CA Standards: Background: This unit is intended to serve as a capstone for the study of two separate units on the spread of Islam and the trans-Saharan trade empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Alternatively, it could be used as an exploratory unit bridging those two units. Depending on the number of students and time/resources available, teachers may want to limit the number of cooperative group tasks to fewer than those offered in this unit. Also, if studying ancient history, a selection of just one or two of the cooperative group work activities related to nomadic lifestyle and adaptation to the environment might be used to culminate or begin the study of settled versus nomadic ways of life. Cooperative groups of 4-5 students should be pre-assigned with a heterogeneous grouping intended to mix reading levels, gender, and multiple abilities to best help each other to complete the tasks. If students do not frequently use cooperative groupings, have them complete a short group skill builder, such as creating a team name or finding two commonalities between them to ease group tension and feel comfortable working as a group.

Staros Professor E. o 'Day History 492 7 May, 1996 The Renaissance in Europe has been described as a time of intellectual awakening and cultural prosperity. Voltaire characterized the time between the early fourteenth to the late sixteenth centuries as one of the greatest ages of human cultural achievement. This time period, known as the Renaissance, was qualified in the nineteenth century as a distinct historical period, the birth of the modern era, characterized by the rise of humanism, scientific inquiry, geographical exploration and the growth of secular values. Today the concept of "Renaissance" is firmly established as one of the most well known cultural and intellectual movements of Europe.' The causes for such a strong movement in European society have been fuel for debate as long as the early modern period of European history has been studied by historians.
