WHAP Day 19 - Empires Research

Day 1 - PAW 1


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:  Research the social, economic, political, geographic, and cultural characteristics of a Classical Empire.  Use the Conrad-Demarest model to analyze the rise and fall of a Classical Empire.

Task:  Good morning!  When you arrive to class, please complete the "Period 2 Check-In Quiz" on Schoology.  Then, you'll have the remainder of the class to work on your project.
