World History Direct Teach 1/22/13-1/23/13

Good Afternoon!

For the past few days, we have been discussing the Conrad-Demarest Model of Empires using Persia as our example.  We have talked about and examined the conditions needed for the Rise of Empires, the Height of Empires, and eventually the Fall of Empires.  

To help you review, I have posted the C-D Model Persia powerpoint and the Chart for the Empire Model.  You may use this to help you complete your chart, if you have not already done so.  You may also use this information to assist you in your research on your assigned Empire.

Click on the link under World History Assignments.  Look for the link for the C-D Model Persia powerpoint and the link for the Empire Model Chart.

In the next day or so, I will be posting more resources for you to use in your research!

Good Luck!!

You will find the instructions or introduction to each assignment in a post on this page.   You will then access the World History Assignments link on the top right hand side of the page to view the materials and/or resources for the assignments.  

INTRODUCTION TO RELIGION:

Today, you will need to view the 2 powerpoints on Religions of the World, and you will need to read through the note documents on the various religions.  

Then, you will need to print out the Religions Chart and complete the chart using the powerpoints/notes.  You will also need to print out the World Religions Map and complete the map, using the resources provided, as well as any other internet/book resources you have access to.
