Due Oct 7/8

AP World homework is to re-read all of the notes we have taken since the beginning of the year.

As you finish re-reading the notes for each significant dynasty write a 3-5 sentence paragraph describing its importance to the development of civilization as a whole.

What ideas, inventions, geographical changes, rulers, books, art or other important development did the civilization contribute to our world history? Only include ideas or developments that are unique to the culture and really important. This paragraph should be a nice summary of our notes. Do not include religions or philosophies because we will do a separate assignment about them.

You should write paragraphs about the following civilizations. The paragraphs should be thoughtful but do not have to be thesis statements. Think summary not thesis. The more attention you give to your notes the better.

In China: Shang, Chou, Ch'in, Han

In India: Indus Valley, Aryan, Mauryan (add Gupta if we covered it in your class)

Mesopotamia: Sumaria and/or Babylon, Persia

and one for Ancient Egypt
