This course covers the migrations of early peoples, the rise of civilizations, the establishment of governments and religions, the growth of economic systems, and the ways in which these events shaped Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Students will engage in a variety of instructional activities, including, but not limited to, lecture, class discussion, cooperative groups, and independent research. Economic concepts and the emergence of government structure and political theory will be researched within the context of this class as well.

Tuesday the 24th we will be having our Unit 2 Test on Ancient India. Students. We have been working on studying for the upcoming test in class using study guides and review games.
Students have received the Unit 2 Study Guide containing review questions. This also has sample Short Answer questions. These are the questions that I will be choosing from for the test. The Study Guide is not a graded assignment and does not need to be turned in for a grade, but it is highly recommended that students work on completing this to prepare for test day. On Friday students will have the opportunity to ask any questions they might have.
To Help in your studies, I have also created some Unit 2 Sample Questions that could be on the test to review with. Please let me know if you have any questions about the upcoming test.
Good Luck all!
