Social Studies Curriculum Social Studies Curriculum Grade 6: Unit 2 1 | Page Course Description The goal for 6th grade World History I students is to refresh their knowledge and understanding of fundamental geography concepts. Students will also need to acquire the core analytical skills necessary to apply the methods of historical inquiry using primary and secondary sources. With these fundamentals in place students will study the political, economic, cultural, religious, and technological changes that occurred in the ancient world. Units will include: prehistory and early man through the Neolithic Era, Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, who are considered to be amongst the world’s earliest river civilizations, and lastly Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, who are thought to have greatly influenced Western civilization. Students will also learn about the history and development of Paterson, New Jersey. Paterson is the home of the first planned industrial city and the legacy of its mills, innovators, and natural resources are still available to study. Students should develop a sense of understanding and pride of where they live and the importance of Paterson to American History. 2 | Page Pacing Guide Unit Topic Suggested Timing Unit 1 World Geography and Human Origins/Mesopotamia and the Fertile Crescent 9 Unit 2 Ancient Egypt, Kush and Phoenicia 9 Unit 3 Ancient Greece 9 Unit 4 Ancient Roman Republic and Empire (5 weeks) Paterson History (4 weeks) 9 3 | Page Effective Pedagogical Routines/Instructional Strategies Collaborative problem solving Word Study Drills Writing to learn Flash Cards Making thinking visible Interviews Note-taking Role Playing Rereading & rewriting Diagrams, charts and graphs Establishing text-based norms for discussions & writing Storytelling Establishing metacognitive reflection & articulation as a regular pattern Coaching in learning Reading partners Quick writes Visuals Pair/trio Sharing Reading Aloud Turn and Talk Model (I Do), Guided (We Do), Independent (You Do) Charting Mind Mapping Gallery Walks Trackers Whole class discussions Multiple Response Strategies Modeling Choral reading Reader’s/Writer’s Notebooks Conferencing 4 | Page Educational Technology Standards 8.1.8.CS.1, 8.1.8.IC.1, 8.1.8.DA.3, 8.1.8.AP.1 Computing Systems: The study of human–computer interaction can improve the design of devices and extend the abilities of humans. 8.1.8.CS.1: Recommend improvements to computing devices in order to improve the ways users interact with the devices.

Career Awareness and Planning: An individual’s strengths, lifestyle goals, choices, and interests affect employment and income. 9.2.8.CAP.4: Explain how an individual’s online behavior (e.g., social networking, photo exchanges, video postings) may impact opportunities for employment or advancement. Example: Learning how social media works, and engaging with it in a positive way is essential for future success. Here are examples of appropriate/inappropriate online behavior:: Appropriate examples of online behavior include: • Think before you post. Ask yourself if your comment is constructive before you post. • Don’t hide behind your profile picture. Social media is not anonymous. Your online reputation will stay with you for a long time. If you wouldn’t say something to someone’s face, don’t say it to them online. • Give yourself a ‘rule’ about who you connect with on social media, and who you do not. For example, if you would stop and say hi to them on the street, you will add them as a Facebook friend. This helps to demonstrate boundaries in the online world. • Demonstrate respectful conversations online. Some people may have different opinions than you. Treat people with the same respect you would give them face-to-face and report troll-like or bullying behavior instead of engaging with it. • Inappropriate examples of online behavior include: • Online bullying • Inappropriate comments 7 | Page • Uploading inappropriate material (adult / illegal / anti-social ) • Accessing inappropriate sites (anti-social or illegal behavior / adult content) • What you do online today could affect your employment years from now. Whatever behavior you decide to engage in online now could be retrieved in the future. Data is never really deleted. Brainstorm appropriate and inappropriate online behavior and create a pamphlet for online users to reference. Career Awareness and Planning: There are a variety of resources available to help navigate the career planning process. 9.2.8.CAP.10: Evaluate how careers have evolved regionally, nationally, and globally. Example: After researching how careers have evolved regionally, nationally, and globally, create a PowerPoint presentation highlighting various jobs and how they have evolved.

  • The Other Face of Augustus's Aggressive Inclination to Egypt
    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality Volume 12 - June 2015 - No 1 - Pages: (35 : 56) The Other Face of Augustus’s Aggressive Inclination to Egypt Wahid Omran Lecturer in Tourist Guidance Dep., Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Introduction The initial attitude of Octavian against Egypt is proved by his speech to his troops on the evening before the battle of Actium. Pride in his Roman birth is compared to the despicability of an Egyptian woman as an opponent, who is supported by Dio Cassius reference.1 "Alexandrians and Egyptians- what worse or what truer name could one apply to them?- who worship reptiles and beasts as gods, who embalm their own bodies to give them semblance of immortality, who are most reckless in effrontery but most feeble in courage, and worst of all are slaves to a woman and not to a man". Since The Roman poet Virgile (70- 19 B.C), 2 the Romans opposed the animal – cult of the Egyptians, and considered these gods as monsters.3 The Egyptian character of the Augustus's opponents is related to the Augustan propaganda, represented the Augustus's war against Antony and Cleopatra not only a civil war between Rome and Egypt, but like a struggle between the West and the East. Whose Mark Antony was a traitor joined the powers of the East, whereas Octavian's victory in Actium was not only for himself, but basically for Rome and the Romans. This struggle was described in literature's documents as a civil strife or a foreign war.4 Augustus also knew he had a compensated war against Antony and Cleopatra as a republican magistrate crushing Oriental despotism.5 He is supported by the Roman society ethics and the star of the sacred Caesar, on the other hand, Antony, once a great Roman commander-in-chief, but now supported by a foreign army and followed by unnamed Egyptian spouse.6 The Romans considered the battle not only a military, but either a religious one between the Roman and the Egyptian Pantheons.

  • The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlementin Egypt
    Pýý.ý577 THE IMPACT OF THE ARAB CONQUEST ON LATE ROMAN SETTLEMENTIN EGYPT VOLUME I: TEXT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY CAMBRIDGE This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Cambridge, March 2002 ALISON GASCOIGNE DARWIN COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE For my parents with love and thanks Abstract The Impact of the Arab Conquest on Late Roman Settlement in Egypt Alison Gascoigne, Darwin College The Arab conquest of Egypt in 642 AD affected the development of Egyptian towns in various ways. The actual military struggle, the subsequent settling of Arab tribes and changes in administration are discussed in chapter 1, with reference to specific sites and using local archaeological sequences. Chapter 2 assesseswhether our understanding of the archaeological record of the seventh century is detailed enough to allow the accurate dating of settlement changes. The site of Zawyet al-Sultan in Middle Egypt was apparently abandoned and partly burned around the time of the Arab conquest. Analysis of surface remains at this site confirmed the difficulty of accurately dating this event on the basis of current information. Chapters3 and 4 analysethe effect of two mechanismsof Arab colonisation on Egyptian towns. First, an investigation of the occupationby soldiers of threatened frontier towns (ribats) is based on the site of Tinnis. Examination of the archaeological remains indicates a significant expansion of Tinnis in the eighth and ninth centuries, which is confirmed by references in the historical sources to building programmes funded by the central government. Second, the practice of murtaba ` al- jund, the seasonal exploitation of the town and its hinterland for the grazing of animals by specific tribal groups is examined with reference to Kharibta in the western Delta.

  • The Journey of Discovering Skull Base Anatomy in Ancient Egypt and the Special Influence of Alexandria
    Neurosurg Focus 33 (2):E2, 2012 The journey of discovering skull base anatomy in ancient Egypt and the special influence of Alexandria ALI M. ELHADI, M.D., SamUEL KALB, M.D., LUIS PEREZ-ORRIBO, M.D., ANDREW S. LITTLE, M.D., ROBERT F. SpeTZLER, M.D., AND MARK C. PREUL, M.D. Division of Neurological Surgery, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona The field of anatomy, one of the most ancient sciences, first evolved in Egypt. From the Early Dynastic Period (3100 BC) until the time of Galen at the end of the 2nd century AD, Egypt was the center of anatomical knowledge, in- cluding neuroanatomy. Knowledge of neuroanatomy first became important so that sacred rituals could be performed by ancient Egyptian embalmers during mummification procedures. Later, neuroanatomy became a science to be studied by wise men at the ancient temple of Memphis. As religious conflicts developed, the study of the human body became restricted. Myths started to replace scientific research, squelching further exploration of the human body until Alexander the Great founded the city of Alexandria. This period witnessed a revolution in the study of anatomy and functional anatomy. Herophilus of Chalcedon, Erasistratus of Chios, Rufus of Ephesus, and Galen of Pergamon were prominent physicians who studied at the medical school of Alexandria and contributed greatly to knowledge about the anatomy of the skull base. After the Royal Library of Alexandria was burned and laws were passed prohibiting human dissections based on religious and cultural factors, knowledge of human skull base anatomy plateaued for almost 1500 years.

  • Augustus in Egypt. the Varying Images of the First Roman Emperor
    Christoph Klose, Lukas C. Bossert, William Leveritt (eds.) | Fresh Perspectives on Graeco-Roman Visual Culture. Proceedings of an International Conference at Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, 2nd–3rd September 2013 | 2015 | urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100229177 Augustus: Caesar and god. Varying Images of the first Roman Emperor Jodie Martyndale-Howard The University of Nottingham hy is it that Rome’s first Emperor can be seen to adorn Egyptian artand architecture as Pharaoh throughout the province? How might the context W of such images help our understanding of the population make-up and rea- sons behind such portrayals? These are the questions I wish to answer through exploring the varying images of the first Roman emperor. Whenever Augustus is mentioned images of power such as the Prima Porta are first to come to our minds.1 As one of the most well-known Imperial statues it is often our first thought regarding portraits of the young, militarily successful leader of the Roman world. It is this image which has been seen throughout modern scholarship as the epitome of the traits Augustus wished his subjects to see, and therefore the one which resonates most strongly in our minds as the defining image of the emperor.2 Yet various scholars who address provincial images pay little or no attention to Egypt and the array of portrayals available.3 This may be because of the peculiar nature of Egypt: for some Classicists, it is Egyptologists who should be researching the images and wrestling with the complex iconographic system that had developed through centuries of Pharaonic and Ptolemaic rule; the other side believe it to be the remit of Classicists, who can use such images to understand how the province was ruled.
