• SB6 - Explain the political and economic interactions between states and non-state actors over time. 

KC2.2.II.  Empires and states developed new techniques of imperial administration based, in part, on the success of earlier political forms.

• SB3 - Explain how and why economic, social cultural, and geographical factors have influenced the processes of state building, expansion and dissolution.

Task:  Good morning! When you arrive to class, please download and read "Aton Hymn and Psalm 104" (in KC2.1 folder).   Work with a partner to complete a SOAP analysis and POV statement on the documents.  Then, I'll conduct a brief lecture to introduce you to the Conrad Demarest Model of  Empires.  Finally, you'll have the remainder of class to work on your mapping project.
