1) Homo sapiens emerged around 100,000 years ago in Africa and gradually migrated across the globe, reaching Australia by 50,000 years ago and the Americas by 15,000 years ago.
2) During the Paleolithic era, humans lived nomadic lifestyles as hunter-gatherers in small groups using tools made of wood and stone. The last ice age peaked around 18,000 years ago before climate warming.
3) The Neolithic Agricultural Revolution began around 8500 BCE, where humans began domesticating plants and animals, leading to sedentary agricultural societies and population growth. This resulted in new technologies, social hierarchies, and early cities along major river valleys.
This is a brief presentation on early civilizations. This is just an overview and should be used with supplemental materials for each individual civilization.
The cradle of civilization is a term referring to locations where, according to current archaeological data, civilization is understood to have emerged.
Current thinking is that there was no single "cradle", but several civilizations that developed independently; with the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia and Egypt, understood to be the earliest.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Apwh ch 1 part 1 prehistory and early civilizations
1. AP World: Unit 1 Part 1
From Human Prehistory to the
Early Civilizations
Chapter 1
2. Way back when…
Fire tamed 750,000 years ago
Homo erectus emerged between
500,000 and 750,000 years ago
– Reached population of 1.5 million
Homo sapiens emerged 100,000
Paleolithic era – prehistory
3. Diffusion of man
Based on Fernandez-Armesto’s “The
World”
Chronology: Early Human Migration
150,000 yrs ago Hypothetical African Eve (H. sapiens )
100,000 yrs ago H. sapiens migrates out of Africa to Middle East
67,000 yrs ago H. sapiens in China
60,000 yrs ago H. sapiens reestablishes colony in Middle East
50,000 yrs ago H. sapiens in Australia
40,000 yrs ago H. sapiens in Europe
15,000 yrs ago H. sapiens in the Americas
5. BRRRRRR
•Ice Age begins
about 150,000 yrs
ago
•Peaks at 18,000
yrs and starts to
thaw after that
•World emerges
from the Ice Age
between 15,000-
20,000 years ago
6. Other Developments
Early Religious Beliefs
Animism
– Belief that the world is
full of spirits and
forces that might
reside in animals,
objects, or dreams
– How do we know this?
Cave paintings
Elaborate burial
ceremonies
7. The warmth means…
Better climate = population increase =
search for better/new food sources
Retreat of big game = smaller hunting
yields = increasing reliance on other
animals for dairy and skins
Also increasing dependence on regular
harvests
8. Neolithic Agricultural
Revolution
The New Stone Age (8500-3500 BCE)
– Seeds
Wow! If you scatter seeds on the ground, plants later
grow in the same place! (not quite…but close…)
– Domesticating animals
Chicken, goat, cow, horse, llama, etc.
Pastoralism – nomadic herding
9. Effects of the
Agricultural Revolution
– Changing ways of life
Status of women declines (no longer “equal” contributors)
Warfare increases
Acquire more possessions (material girls)
– New Technology
Develop calendars to time planting and harvesting
Use animals to plow
Tools to make farming easier
– Pros and Cons to Agricultural and Pastoral Life?
Pros: supports more people
Cons: more labor intensive/more man hours
And the Awesome Chart!!!
11. What are tools made
with?
Wood
Stone
Bone
And then it gets better!
– Copper
– Bronze! (Bronze Age ~3000 BCE)
12. Three crafts that really develop during
the Neolithic Age:
– Textiles
– Metallurgy
– Pottery
