FInal Exam Review and Prep, Day 1
Start a brand new sheet of paper and keep all this information together and organized.
1. Using one of the dictionaries in the classroom or looking it online, define the term ECONOMY.
2. Analyze the final question:
Final Question
What role does the economy play in the success or failure of a dynasty, empire, civilization, or community? Use examples from at least three different dynasties, empires, civilizations, or communities?
3. Without looking at your notes try to write all of the different dynasties, empires, civilization, communities. After five minutes, take a few moments and compare your list with two other classmates.
4. Now, this is so important, organize your notes into different dynasties, empires, civilizations, communities, and trade routs. Don't forget the Silk Road, information related to imperialism/colonialism, the hunter gatherers, and the agricultural revolution (watch the brian pop!).
Homework (you can get a lot done in class)
Looking at the final questions and the definition of economy write down one sentence about the strength of weakness of the economy of as many of the dynasties, empires, civilizations, communities, and trade routs as you can.
NOTE: I will check you notes each day at the beginning of class, each day that your motes are organized, completed, and kept up with you can score a 5 out 5 quiz grade each day!
