Islam lesson 1 arabian peninsula
If Collierville was located in a desert, life would be different in three ways:
1. Water sources around the Arabian Peninsula like the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers could be identified and questions about the hot, dry climate could be created.
2. People would adapt to the desert environment like nomadic Bedouins who move to find water and pasture.
3. Physical features like deserts and oases that contain water would affect where people live and travel.
Role of confucianism
Buddhism spread in China for both political and social reasons according to Confucian teachings. Politically, an oppressive government was seen as more threatening than a tiger, so Buddhism provided an alternative philosophy. Socially, Confucianism emphasized proper behavior and ethics in relationships, with a focus on respecting family and older generations to produce social order. Confucius taught that educating the people and leading through virtue rather than punishment would help society function better.

Islam lesson 10 Muslim Trade Routes day 2

African oral traditions
The griots were storytellers in ancient Ghana who would tell stories to villagers gathered around a central fire after dinner. There was no written language so stories kept their history and culture alive. Only one official griot existed per village, and their sole job was to tell stories, which could include stories of gods and goddesses, wars, heroes, kings, and fictional tales. One such story still popular in Africa today is about Anansi the spider. The passage then discusses listening to modern griot storytellers and examining African proverbs and their meanings.

The document provides a map of Arabia and discusses features of Arabia that gave Muslim merchants easy access to many parts of the region. Key geographical features of the Arabian Peninsula, such as its central location between three continents and access to major sea routes, allowed Muslim merchants to establish extensive trade networks across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Merchant cities like Mecca served as hubs connecting different trade routes and facilitating the exchange of goods from places as far as China and India. This enabled the spread of Muslim influence through commercial interactions.
Byzantine ppt 2013
The Byzantine Empire emerged after the fall of Rome, with its capital in Constantinople. It included parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

It also exposed Christians to new foods, spices, and trade goods from the Middle East. For Muslims, the Crusades prompted the adoption of new military strategies and weapons while also uniting Muslims against the Christian invaders. For Jews, however, the Crusades exacerbated longstanding antisemitism and discrimination, resulting in massacres of Jewish communities and their eventual expulsion from England and France.
Japanese history
1) Early Japan was ruled by small clans warring with each other until 1185 when samurai became dominant and shoguns ruled with their samurai forces.
2) In the 1500s, Japan unified under one shogunate and isolated itself from the world for hundreds of years.

Politically, the Crusades weakened feudal systems in Europe and united Muslim leadership under Saladin. Socially, the Crusaders adopted ideas from Muslim cultures like new numbers and science, while Muslims viewed the Westerners with disdain. Economically, the Crusades created new trade routes but had little lasting impact on Muslim societies, which were already more advanced.

The Anglo-Saxons

Roman Legacies
This document discusses the many legacies and influences of ancient Rome that are still present in modern society. It notes that many common words in English come from Latin, the language of Rome, and that Latin shaped the development of several modern European languages.

Rome also had a significant influence on modern government, law, sports, Christianity, and culture. The document aims to illustrate how deeply Rome impacted Western civilization and the many ways its contributions are still visible in our world today.
Rome from Republic to Empire
The document describes a scenario where a Roman senator is worried about generals in Rome gaining too much power and potentially becoming dictators. Some senators want to take violent action against the generals to prevent this, but it is unclear if using violence against them to save the Republic would be justified.
Roman Republic
- In 753 BC, Romulus founded the city of Rome, which would later expand into the massive Roman Republic.
- The Roman Republic began in 509 BC after the overthrow of the last Roman king. It established a system where elected representatives led the people rather than kings.
- Roman society was divided between the patricians, who were the wealthy landowning class, and the plebeians, who made up the common people.
Archaic Rome
The document provides information about the Roman Empire from several sources, including:
- A lesson on analyzing the legacy of the Roman Empire and its importance.
- Geography questions about Italy and the location of Rome that set the stage for the rise of the Roman Empire.
- Maps showing the extent of the Roman Empire and its extensive road network, implying the Romans had effective government, trade, religion, language, and culture due to their roads connecting the empire.
- A passage explaining how all roads literally led to Rome, as the Romans built roads from conquered territories and provinces straight to the capital city, with mile markers measuring distance from Rome.
- A timeline of important events in Roman history from
BC and AD timeline events
The document provides instructions for creating a timeline, including circling BC dates and putting them in descending order, ordering AD dates ascending from 0, choosing 10 dates to illustrate with events, and using the dates 2000 BC, 753 BC, and 2016 AD as examples. It then lists 44 historical dates between 3000 BC and 2050 with significant events for potential inclusion on the timeline.
Time Line lesson
BC and AD are common abbreviations used on timelines to denote periods before and after the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. BC stands for Before Christ and AD stands for Anno Domini, which translates to "In the year of our Lord". Some mistakenly think AD means After Death, but that would place the start at year 33 rather than year 1. Alternatively, timelines may use BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) to avoid religious references. The document instructs students to create a timeline using the provided materials and guidelines.
Map lesson
The document discusses the key features of maps that help people use them, including the map title, compass rose, legend/key, scale, and locator. It also lists different types of maps such as physical, political, historical, and land use maps. The document emphasizes the importance of geography and includes an activity for students to label lines of longitude and latitude on maps.
Declaration of Independence
The document provides instructions for a bell ringer activity where students are asked to:
1) Write a list of rights they have as United States citizens or residents
2) Have extra time to write a song, rap or poem about the rights they listed
The overall objective is for students to understand the rights granted in the Declaration of Independence and be able to write an essay explaining these rights using evidence from the text.

Types of government
The document is a lesson on different types of governments that will be taught to students. It includes definitions and examples of 8 types of governments: democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, communism, dictatorship, anarchy, republic, and totalitarianism. Students will be assigned to groups that focus on one type of government. They will take notes on all the types and work in their groups to create their own hypothetical government based on their assigned type.
House Rules lesson
The document assigns groups of students to present on different "House Rules" during class. Each group will have 10-15 minutes to create a lesson on their assigned rules, explaining what each rule is and why it is important. Their lesson should include a visual and a question for the class, and can take the form of a teaching lesson, skit, or song. The document then lists which rules each of 8 groups will present on.

Respect lesson
