ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONSWhen we learn historical content, we know how past events shape current situations and issues. As we are more grounded in a global historical context, we strengthen our critical thinking so we can respond to current challenges with creativity, clarity, and nuance. Tracing the development of civilizations from ancient, medieval, and early modern times provides a firm foundation for understanding the scope of world history and for applying critical insights to new contexts.The community benefits when its citizens have a broad foundation in world history. It allows the community to have engaged and informed discussions on historical events, as well as how those events continue to impact modern-day. Educators benefit their schools and districts in their ability to effectively and correctly teach world history, as well as discuss the impact that history has on a modern-day.You will complete three historical presentations in order to trace the developmental arc of world history. The projects allow you to explore world civilizations through the incorporation of elements such as maps, artifacts, and cultural artwork into a visually appealing and informative presentation. The three presentations cover: Ancient CivilizationsMedieval and Early Modern CivilizationsEarly Modernism in the WestNOTE: Once you complete all three presentations, you will share them with your peers in a discussion forum later in the term where you will comment on each other’s work.Ancient CivilizationsThis presentation examines the impact of physical geography on the intellectual, cultural, and trade developments of three different ancient civilizations.Select any three civilizations that existed within the following regions and time periods:Early Middle Eastern and Northeast African CivilizationsAncient and Early Medieval IndiaChina and East Asia to the Ming DynastyThe Greek World from the Bronze Age to the Roman ConquestThe Roman World from 753 BCE to 500 CEConduct research on each of your three chosen civilizations.
