|Lesson Area: |Classical China, India, Egypt |

|Subject Area: |A.P. World History |

|Grade Level: |11th-12th |

|Essential Question: |In what ways were those three classical civilizations dis/similar? |

|Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes: |Students will gain an understanding of Classical Civilizations in these |

| |areas: |

| |Political |

| |Religious |

| |Intellectual |

| |Economic |

| |Social |

| |Technologically |

|Michigan Standards/Benchmarks: |2.2.1 Early Civilizations - Compare and contrast the geographical, |

| |political, economic, social, |

| |religious, and cultural features of three early civilizations from different|

| |world regions |

| |(China, Indus River Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt). |

| | |

| |3.1.1 Classical Civilizations - Define the concept of “classical |

| |civilization” and, using the classical |

| |civilizations of Persia, Greece, Rome, China, India, and Mesoamerica as |

| |examples, assess |

| |importance of ideas, institutions, art forms (including philosophy) and |

| |social structures |

| |(e.g., resource use, specialization, interdependence, divisions of labor, |

| |and gender roles) that emerged in the classical period. |

| | |

| |3.1.3 • Compare and contrast the defining characteristics of state, |

| |civilization, and empire. |

| |• Compare two early empires’ (e.g., the Egyptian, Roman, Persian, Mauryan, |

| |and Han Chinese Empires) use of military power, state bureaucracy, legal |

| |codes, belief systems, |

| |communications (including writing and transportation), and trade networks in|

| |the developing |

| |control and integration over large regions. |

| |• Analyze the role of geography in the development of early empires, |

| |referencing both |

| |“useful” geographic features and those that could be seen as obstacles |

| |(including the distance |

| |decay theory). |

|Michigan Technology Standards: |identify common graphic, audio, and video file formats (e.g., jpeg, gif, |

| |bmp, mpeg, wav) |

| |compare, evaluate, and select appropriate internet search engines to locate |

| |information |

|Procedures/Lesson Plan: |Students will work in groups of 3-4 and choose one of the civilizations |

| |(India, China, or Egypt) that they would like to research. |

| |They will then receive a chapter outline on their civilization and fill in a|

| |P.R.I.E.S.T. outline about the society they are researching. |

| |The groups will then create a visual representation for their civilization |

| |on poster board. |

| |Taking the information from the P.R.I.E.S.T. sheet they will surround the |

| |society symbol with facts they have written down. |

| |The next portion of the assignment is the presentation. |

| |Each group will receive a website from me on each civilization or they can |

| |research their own website to use as part of their presentation. |

| |During the presentation they are to use both visual aides to explain the |

| |different aspects of their civilization. |

| |The rest of the class will fill in their P.R.I.E.S.T. sheets while the other|

| |societies are presenting. |

|Time Needed: |2-3 days |

|Prerequisite Skills: |Reading, internet, research |

|Rubric/Evaluation: |40 points |

|Materials Needed: |Textbook, art supplies, handout |

|Hardware Needed: |Computer, projector |

|Software Needed: |Ancient Origins CD (India) |

|Differentiated Instruction: |Students decide on the civilization and how they want to present the |
