WHAP Day 21 - Comparing Classical Empires

Day 3 - PAW 3


KC2.1.I.  Codifications and further developments of existing religious traditions provided a bond among people.


KC2.1.II.  New belief systems and cultural traditions emerged and spread, often asserting universal truths.


KC2.2.I.  The number and size of key states and empires grew dramatically as rulers imposed political unity on areas where previously there had been competing states.

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

KC2.2.III.  Unique social and economic dimensions developed in imperial societies in Afro-Eurasia and the Americas.

KC2.2.IV. The Roman, Han, Persian, Mauryan, and Gupta empires encountered political, cultural, and administrative difficulties that they could not manage, which eventually led to their decline, collapse, and transformation into successor empires or states.


Objectives:  Examine and analyze select examples of monumental architecture from the Classical period.  

Task:  Good morning! Well, as you can see with ALL of the key concepts listed above, we're going to be spending today pulling together the work we've done over the last couple of days.  First, you'll fill in  the "Classical Empires Comparison Chart" as your walk through our gallery of empire autopsies.  Then, you'll work with a partner to evaluate each "empire" in terms of the Conrad Demarest model.  Finally, we'll pull out our monumental architecture work from yesterday to tie together the rise of the great religions and the Classical empires.
