Monday the presentations are going to start! Here is the rubric: World History Empire Presentation Rubric Unit 2

Today we used this document (Intro to Gunpowder Civilizations) to brainstorm what we need to know about empires in order to compare them. Then we watched this video https://www.history.com/shows/mankind-the-story-of-all-of-us/videos/mankind-the-story-of-all-of-us-gunpowder-to-guns to figure out what these empires were all about and then we analyzed 4 maps to see how the main 5 gunpowder empires changed: Gunpowder Empires with maps (in the 30s as far as slides go). Tomorrow we will work in groups for the project.

Today we went over the test.

Afterwards we figured out what we are going to be doing the next couple weeks and tried to pick groups to work with on a group project. Here are the expectations: Unit 2 expectations
