The Fall of Civilizations- For what reasons have societies collapsed? Unit Test

November 5, 2019 mrsvangelista

Unit Test: This week you will gather evidence on ONE of the civilizations. Please use the graphic organizer for notes and print out 2 GOOD sources using Citefast. Attach this to your notes and hand it in next week (Tuesday/Wednesday).

Delivery: You will have 5 minutes to give a presentation to your GROUP ONLY. In this presentation think about how you would explain at least 5 factors that led to this civilizations demise. Be creative with the group (you may draw it, collect artifacts etc). This will take place Tuesday/Wednesday. Good luck!

Have you answered this question for your group: What can the collapse of past societies teach us about the long term consequences of our decisions and actions today?

Note: Once your unit test is complete I will ask that you post what you presented on your blog. This will include the answer to the above question that you discovered from your findings. Any images/pictures that you would like to share. How did the presentation go? How did you share your findings?
